From a fountain In a mountain, Drops of water ran Trickling through the grasses; So our brook began. Slow it started; Soon it darted, Cool and clear and free, Rippling over pebbles, Hurrying to the sea. FROM A FOUNTAIN IN A MOUNTAIN DROPS OF WATER RAN TRICKLING THROUGH THE GRASSES SO OUR BROOK BEGAN SLOW IT STARTED SOON IT DARTED COOL AND CLEAR AND FREE RIPPLING OVER PEBBLES HURRYING TO THE SEA
 tell why they are so called? [Illustration: "SUCH PLACES ARE CALLED RAPIDS."] The stream flows on. It has now reached a high ledge of rock. Over this it leaps, making a great foam and noise. When the water of a river falls over high rocks, it is called a waterfall or _cataract_. You may have seen the Falls of Niagara, the greatest waterfall in the world. [Illustration: "YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THE FALLS OF NIAGARA."] The course of our river is now through a lower country. The valley in which it flows spreads out, and the stream grows wider and wider. The water moves slower and slower. Why is the river swift in some places, and in others slow? At length it flows through an almost level country. It is here widest and deepest. Its course is more winding. Do you know why it is crooked and winding? Because on the steep hillside the water runs very rapidly, and is not easily turned aside. Where the ground is nearly level, it runs slowly, and is easily turned from its course. LESSON XX. THE BROOK.
