Far away across the sea lies a country called Holland.Holland is a very low country，and it lies close to the ocean.Nothing but the strong dykes（堤壩）keep the angry waves away from the very doors of the houses in Holland.People must carefully guard the strong sea walls.They know that their homes and their lives would be in danger from the water of the sea if the dykes were broken.
    One day，a little boy named Peter was playing in the garden by his home in Holland when his mother called him. "Peter，" she said， "I want you to carry this basket of cheese to your grandmother.Go straight upon your way，without playing.You must be back home before supper."
    Peter took the basket that held the cheese，and went on his way.He did not stop to gather the pretty flowers that grew by the wayside，nor to play with the boys who called to him from the field.He did what he was told，and soon he reached his grandmother's house.
    It was already almost dark.He left his basket，gave his grandmother a kiss and left to go home.His path lay beside the dyke.In the quiet evening air，he heard a sound which made his heartbeat quick and fast.Peter knew the meaning of the fearful sound.It meant that        .
    Before morning，even before Peter could get men to help，the water would be pouring over the land.What could a boy do？Quickly，he ran to the spot from which the water trickled （滴、淌）.He pushed his hand into the hole in the dyke.Then he called aloud for jye.ailp.He listened.No answer came to his call，but he could hear that the water was no longer dripping.It became dark.He became too tired to call for help…
    People found him in the morning，pale and faint，but bravely holding to his post. "He has saved us all!"they said. "Thank God!He was a brave boy."
