"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." OH SO IT IS SAID HERBERT SAY IT AGAIN BEG SUE THE JOLLY CAPTAIN DID SO AND 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 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
said Mother Brown; and so it was arranged. The four young people went ashore, the young ladies in borrowed clothes, and the men, in their own damp garments, carrying the paddles. They attracted some little attention from the crowd on the dock. It was very evident what had happened. But as canoe upsets are very common at shore resorts in the summer, no one took it very seriously, especially as no one was drowned or hurt. "We'll send back your things in the morning," called Mildred and Grace to Mrs. Brown, as they went up 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.  NEAR THE HOTEL ON THE BEACH VERY WELL WORST THEY SAID MOTHER BROWN AND SO IT WAS ARRANGED THE FOUR YOUNG PEOPLE WENT ASHORE AND THE YOUNG LADIES IN BOARD CLOTHES AND THE MEN IN THEIR OWN DAMP GARMENTS CARRYING THE BATTLES THEY ATTRACTED SOME LITTLE ATTENTION FROM THE CROWD ON THE DOCK IT WAS VERY EVIDENT WHAT HAD HAPPENED BUT AS CANOE UPSETS ARE VERY COMMON AT SHORE RESULTS IN THE SUMMER NO ONE TOOK IT VERY SERIOUSLY ESPECIALLY AS NO ONE WAS DROWNED OR HURT WELL SEND BACK YOUR THINGS IN THE MORNING CALLED MILDRED AND GRACE TO MISS BROWNE AS THEY WENT UP 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 FERRY I SHOULD HATE TO HAVE YOUR SUMMER ELDING SPOILED BY AN ACCIDENT EVEN IF IT WAS THE FALL 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 NEVER TOUCHES THE WATER A FISH GUESS BUNNY A FISH IS ALWAYS IN THE WATER CRIED SUE LAUGHING
