They rested for a few minutes. Edie took a drink of water from the canning jar. One thing she could say good about the mountains was the water. Yes, it was good and cold. Susan sat on the ground up against a tree. It felt good to sit. Pushing that chair in the mud was hard for an eight-year-old and they had about three miles more to go on a hilly road. Well, rest time was over. Edie wanted to get off the road before her brother came in for lunch. When Susan got up she was covered with mud. Edie was upset with her but she was only eight but what was she going to do? Maybe the mud will brush off when it dried. There was some water in the jar that Susan could wash her face and hands with. That was the end of the water. They started again and saw the school and Susan became nervous.
