84 WINTER STORIES AND POEMS 



"I know where I shall live/' she said joy- 

 fully, " in the lap of the water, where I can 

 see the gliding canoe. Then I can kiss the 

 naked feet of the little children as they play on 

 the bank of the stream." 



With these words she flew down to the water, 

 where she saw herself reflected. 



The next morning, thousands of white flowers 

 were seen on the lake. 



Children, when you see the water-lily, take it 

 in your hands and hold it to the skies, that it 

 may see its sisters in heaven.
