And one time, we...we’re kids. This river, this was a big river, this river that flo... Yes, that was a big river there. And so on the shore of the river, this...I think this was it; that river was wide. We’re..cross..when we were done school for the summer. We’re running back and forth, eh? We’re trying to beat each other, who’s going to get to the other side first. There’s four of us: this one girl, her brother too, my brother -- our...our brothers, and so there, there where this bridge here is, this, that’s where;
And I did see something sticking out of the water there.
But I don’t pay attention to that. I just thought maybe it’s a log sticking out of the water. So, we’re playing, we’re running back and forth across the river there. It was deep there too -- about four feet deep it was...it was...that deep. That’s this river that flows by here, we’re running back and forth there, swimming in the summer. And then I saw something there, something sticking out of the water there. And me, I don’t think anything of it; well, we’re playing you know. Then after we had all run across -- all of us -- that water started swirling, that river where we were.
Is that water ever swirling around! And just then the, um, old lady’s coming down the hill. She’s coming to look for her child, you know.
