But
when
morning
came
,
and
the
children
got
up
,
the
soldier
was
set
on
the
window
ledge
.
And
whether
the
bogey
did
it
,
or
there
was
a
gust
of
wind
,
all
of
a
sudden
the
window
flew
open
and
the
soldier
pitched
out
headlong
from
the
third
floor
.
He
fell
at
breathtaking
speed
and
landed
cap
first
,
with
his
bayonet
buried
between
the
paving
stones
and
his
one
leg
stuck
straight
in
the
air
.
The
housemaid
and
the
little
boy
ran
down
to
look
for
him
and
,
though
they
nearly
stepped
on
the
tin
soldier
,
they
walked
right
past
without
seeing
him
.
If
the
soldier
had
called
,
"
Here
I
am
!
"
they
would
surely
have
found
him
,
but
he
thought
it
contemptible
to
raise
an
uproar
while
he
was
wearing
his
uniform
.
12
Soon
it
began
to
rain
.
The
drops
fell
faster
and
faster
,
until
they
came
down
by
the
bucketful
.
As
soon
as
the
rain
let
up
,
along
came
two
young
rapscallions
.
13
"
Hi
,
look
!
"
one
of
them
said
,
"
there
's
a
tin
soldier
.
Let
's
send
him
sailing
.

They
made
a
boat
out
of
newspaper
,
put
the
tin
soldier
in
the
middle
of
it
,
and
away
he
went
down
the
gutter
with
the
two
young
rapscallions
running
beside
him
and
clapping
their
hands
.
High
heavens
!
How
the
waves
splashed
,
and
how
fast
the
water
ran
down
the
gutter
.
15
Do
n't
forget
that
it
had
just
been
raining
by
the
bucketful
.
The
paper
boat
pitched
,
and
tossed
,
and
sometimes
it
whirled
about
so
rapidly
that
it
made
the
soldier
's
head
spin
.
But
he
stood
as
steady
as
ever
.
Never
once
flinching
,
he
kept
his
eyes
front
,
and
carried
his
gun
shoulder-high
.
Suddenly
the
boat
rushed
under
a
long
plank
where
the
gutter
was
boarded
over
.
It
was
as
dark
as
the
soldier
's
own
box
.
16
"
Where
can
I
be
going
?
"
the
soldier
wondered
.
"
This
must
be
that
black
bogey
's
revenge
.
Ah
!
if
only
I
had
the
little
lady
with
me
,
it
could
be
twice
as
dark
here
for
all
that
I
would
care
.
"
17
Out
popped
a
great
water
rat
who
lived
under
the
gutter
plank
.

"
Have
you
a
passport
?
"
said
the
rat
.
"
Hand
it
over
.
"
19
The
soldier
kept
quiet
and
held
his
musket
tighter
.
On
rushed
the
boat
,
and
the
rat
came
right
after
it
,
gnashing
his
teeth
as
he
called
to
the
sticks
and
straws
:
20
"
Halt
him
!
Stop
him
!
He
did
n't
pay
his
toll
.
He
has
n't
shown
his
passport
.
"
But
the
current
ran
stronger
and
stronger
.
The
soldier
could
see
daylight
ahead
where
the
board
ended
,
but
he
also
heard
a
roar
that
would
frighten
the
bravest
of
us
.
Hold
on
!
Right
at
the
end
of
that
gutter
plank
the
water
poured
into
the
great
canal
.
It
was
as
dangerous
to
him
as
a
waterfall
would
be
to
us
.
