In some parts of Holland the land lies so low that the people have to build great walls of sand and earth，to keep out the sea． These walls are called dykes（堤坝）．

Sometimes the water from the sea break down these walls，and then the sea rushes in through the beach， and spreads over the land．

Houses and trees，cows and sheep，have been thus washed away，and many people drowned．（溺水）．

Once， when a little boy was going home in the evening， he saw a hole in one of the dykes， through which the water was flowing（流出）．

His father had often told him that when this happened， unless the water was stopped it would soon make the hole so big that the sea would flow over the land．

The brave little boy sat down，and put his hand in the hole，to keep back the water．There he stayed，hour after hour， in the cold and the dark， all through the night!

In the morning， a man came past and saw him．He could not think what the boy there．So he called out to him， "What are you doing there， my boy？"

"There is a hole in the dyke，" said the boy，" and I am keeping back the water．"
