The fishes are hidden safe away under the banks and the big stones.

Besides, it's going to be a very hot day, and they like the shady bits of the river.

Just here there's no shade." Suddenly there was a great commotion in the river, and when Mr.Norton looked round for a second he could see nothing of Milly, till up came a dripping head and a pair of hands, and there was Milly kneeling on the stones at the bottom of the river, with just her head above water, looking very much astonished and rather frightened.
"Why, what happened, old woman ?" said Mr.Norton, holding out his hand to help her up.
"I--I--don't quite know, father; I was standing on a big stone, and all of a sudden it tipped up, and I tumbled right in." "First of all I thought you was a big fish, and then I thought you was going to be drowned," said Olly, cheerfully.

"I'm glad you wasn't drowned." "Miss Milly! Miss Milly!" shouted nurse from the bank, "it's quite time you came out now.

If you stay in so long you'll get cold, and you, too, Master Olly." Olly was not inclined to come.
