They were traveling with their aunt.
Most of the aunt's remarks seemed to begin with “Don't”, and nearly all of the children's remarks began with “Why?"
"Why those sheep drove out of the field?” asked the boy looking out of the window.
"Perhaps the grass in the other field is better," suggested the aunt absurdly.
"Why is it good?" came the question.

Explanation:
1) The word "smallest" is used to describe the other girl in comparison to the two small girls mentioned earlier.
2) The word "were" is used to indicate the past tense of the verb "to be." It shows that the small girl, small boy, and another girl were in the carriage.
3) The word "began" is used to indicate the past tense of the verb "to begin." It shows that the children's remarks started with the word "Why?"
4) The word "drove" is used to indicate the past tense of the verb "to drive." It shows that the sheep moved out of the field.
5) The word "good" is used here to describe the quality of the grass in the other field. The aunt suggests that the grass in the other field is better than the grass in the current field.
6) The word "good" is used again to ask why the grass in the other field is considered good.
7) The word "lose" is used to indicate the action of losing patience. The aunt was losing her patience while dealing with the children's questions and observations.
