Lesson Fifty-six Part One Our neighbour, the river

Why had the neighbours left their farm?

The river, which forms the eastern boundary of our farm, has always played an important part in our lives. Without it, we could not make a living. There is only enough spring water to supply the needs of the house, so we have to pump from the river for farm use. We tell the river all our secrets. We know instinctively, just as beekeepers with their bees, that misfortune might overtake us, if the important events of our lives were not related to it. We have special river birthday parties in the summer. Sometimes we go upstream to a favourite backwater, sometimes we have our party at a boathouse, which a predecessor of ours at the farm, built in the meadow hard by the deepest pool for swimming and diving. In the heat wave, we choose a midnight birthday party, and that is the most exciting of all.
