"And if he fell in the water he'd be wet." "Yes, but you aren't supposed to do that in riddles," returned Captain Ross. After supper on the _Fairy_, Uncle Tad took the two children on shore, Bunny and Sue having secured their mother's permission to ride on the merry go round. AN IF HE FELL IN THE WATER HE'D BE WET YES WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO DO THAT IN RIDDLES RETURNED CAPTAIN ROSS AFTER SUPPER ON THE THEORY UNCLE TAD TOOK THE TWO CHILDREN ON SHORE WENNY AND SUE HAVING SECURED THEIR MOTHER'S PERMISSION TO RIDE ON THE MERRY GO ROUND
 to the hotel. "You'll find us right here," said Captain Ross. "I'm mighty glad it was no worse," he said to his friends on the _Fairy_. "I should hate to have your summer outing spoiled by an accident, even if it was the fault of those in the canoe. But it reminds me of a riddle. See if you can guess it, Bunny and Sue. What goes under the water and over the water and never touches the water?" "A fish!" guessed Bunny. "A fish is always in the water," cried Sue, laughing. "Oh, so it is," said her brother. "Say it again," begged Sue. The jolly captain did so, and when Bunny and Sue gave up, after several wrong guesses, the seaman said: "A man walking over a bridge with a pail of water on his head. He goes _over_ the water, and he's _under_ the water in the pail, and yet he doesn't touch the water." "Oh, that's a good riddle!" laughed Bunny. "I'm going to fool Bunker on that." "If the water pail upset and spilled on him then the water would touch him," said Sue, after a moment of thought.
