hilda, kassie, and karl are little dutch children, too. they do not live far from the blue house where jan and katrina live.

they live over on the other side of the big, brown windmill. they come to play with jan and katrina. katrina and jan go over to play with them.

hilda, kassie, and karl live in a red house. it is by the canal.

the children like to play there. they have a little flatboat. they sail around on the canal. sometimes they sail under the little bridge by the meadow.
