III. 1. Hans lived in Harlem, Holland.
2. He was eight.
3. He visited an old blind man.
4. The man told Hans to be careful, because the water in the canal gets higher in autumn.
5. Hans took the man some biscuits.
6. Hans heard the sound of water flowing away on his way home.
IV. I like Hans because he was a very brave boy. He was only eight, but he helped to save Holland. When the rain started, he felt scared, but he knew what could happen with a small hole. He waited all night for help, he felt cold and tired, because he understood how important it was to everyone. I would like to be as brave as Hans.
