"I didn't mind swimming, at all," remarked the horse. "Nor did I," added Jack. They soon regained the road of yellow brick, which proved to be a continuation of the road they had left on the other side, and then Tip once more mounted the Pumpkinhead upon the back of the Saw Horse. I DIDN'T MIND THE SWIMMING AT ALL REMARKED THE HORSE NOR DID I ADDED JACK THEY SOON REGAINED THE ROAD OF YELLOW BRICK WHICH PROVED TO BE A CONTINUATION OF THE ROAD THEY HAD LEFT ON THE OTHER SIDE AND THEN TIP ONCE MORE MOUNTED THE PUMPKINHEAD UPON THE BACK OF THE SAW HORSE
 did not know what danger meant, offered no objections whatever. So the boy led it down into the water and climbed upon its back. Jack also waded in up to his knees and grasped the tail of the horse so that he might keep his pumpkin head above the water. “Now,” said Tip, instructing the Saw-Horse, “if you wiggle your legs you will probably swim; and if you swim we shall probably reach the other side.” The Saw-Horse at once began to wiggle its legs, which acted as oars and moved the adventurers slowly across the river to the opposite side. So successful was the trip that presently they were climbing, wet and dripping, up the grassy bank. Tip’s trouser-legs and shoes were thoroughly soaked; but the Saw-Horse had floated so perfectly that from his knees up the boy was entirely dry. As for the Pumpkinhead, every stitch of his gorgeous clothing dripped water. “The sun will soon dry us,” said Tip “and, anyhow, we are now safely across, in spite of the ferryman, and can continue our journey.”  MAKING AND THE SAW HORSE WHO DID NOT KNOW WHAT DANGER MEANT OFFERED NO OBJECTIONS WHATEVER SO THE BOY LED IT DOWN INTO THE WATER AND CLIMBED UPON ITS BACK JACK ALSO WADED IN UP TO HIS KNEES AND GRASPED THE TAIL OF THE HORSE SO THAT HE MIGHT KEEP HIS PUMPKIN HEAD ABOVE THE WATER NOW SAID TIP INSTRUCTING THE SAW HORSE IF YOU WIGGLE YOUR LEGS YOU WILL PROBABLY SWIM AND IF YOU SWIM WE SHALL PROBABLY REACH THE OTHER SIDE THE SAW HORSE AT ONCE BEGAN TO WIGGLE ITS LEGS WHICH ACTED AS OARS AND MOVED THE ADVENTURERS SLOWLY ACROSS THE RIVER TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE SO SUCCESSFUL WAS THE TRIP THAT PRESENTLY THEY WERE CLIMBING WET AND DRIPPING UP THE GRASSY BANK TIP'S TROUSER LEGS AND SHOES WERE THOROUGHLY SOAKED BUT THE SAW HORSE HAD FLOATED SO PERFECTLY THAT FROM HIS KNEES UP THE BOY WAS ENTIRELY DRY AS FOR THE PUMPKINHEAD EVERY STITCH OF HIS GORGEOUS CLOTHING WAS DRIPPING WET THE SUN WILL SOON DRY US SAID TIP AND ANYHOW WE ARE NOW SAFELY ACROSS IN SPITE OF THE FERRYMAN AND CAN CONTINUE OUR JOURNEY
