9 It was not yet suppertime, but Mother Vedder was always ahead of the clock with the work. Kit and Kat had a pan of water and were teaching their ducklings to swim. They each had one little duckling of their very own. The ducklings squawked when Kit lifted them over the edge of the pan and into the water. Don t do that, Kit, said Kat. The ducklings don t like it. You didn t like it when you fell into the water, did you? But I m not a duck, said Kit. Well, anyway, they re tired and want to go to their mother, said Kat. Let s do something else! I ll tell you what! Let s go out to the garden and help Father get the boat loaded for market. All right, said Kit.

10 May we, Mother? Yes, said Mother Vedder; and you may ask Father if he will take you to market with him tomorrow if it s fair. Tell him I said you could ask. Oh, goody, goody! said Kit and Kat, both at once; and they ran as fast as their wooden shoes would take them out into the garden. They found their father cutting cabbages and gathering them into piles. He was stopping to rest for a moment when they reached him. O Father! said Kit and Kat both together. May we go on the boat to market with you tomorrow morning? Mother said we might ask! We ll help you load the boat, said Kit. Yes, said Kat, I can carry a cabbage. I can carry two, said Kit.
