Papa', I want to sail in the new boat. Will you take me out?
It is pretty cold, Frank. See how the wind blows, and how the waves roll on the beach. I know it is cold, papa', but I have on a warm coat.
Well, come on. I will hold the boat while you get in.
So Frank and his papa' got into the boat and put up the sail.
The waves were very high, but Frank was not afraid. The boat was strong, and his papa' could sail it well.
The waves dashed over the side of the boat, but the more they dashed, the more fun it was for Frank.
When Frank got to be a man, he was so fond of the water that he went to sea in a large ship.
He learned how to sail the ship, and after a while, he was made captain of it.
He is an old man now, and likes to tell little boys and girls all he learned and saw while he was captain of a ship.
