"Help!" Ribby cried.
She bobbed up and down in the water.
"I'm coming!" Jeremy cried.
"Swim, Ribby!"
He jumped into his boat.
Ribby's dress tangled around her legs.
"I'm trying to swim!" she cried.
"But my dress is too long!"
Ribby splashed.
She gulped water.
Jeremy paddled as fast as he could.
At last he reached Ribby.
"Here," Jeremy said.
"Grab my hand!"
Jeremy pulled Ribby into the boat.
Ribby coughed.
She spit out water.
"Thank you!" she said. "You saved me!"
Jeremy sighed.
"I will never bring you flowers again."
Ribby smiled. "Good idea!"
Jeremy thought for a second.
"Do you like green fly sandwiches?"
"Yes," Ribby said.
"I love green fly sandwiches!"
Jeremy grinned.
"I made lots of sandwiches this morning.
We can have a picnic for two!"
"Look!" Ribby said. "There's Mr. Dribber.
Can he come to our picnic?"
Jeremy sighed. "Okay," he said.
"We will have a picnic for three!"
