One girl is using a
pole to push a small wooden tub containing dolls. ]
"Here, Ponto! Here, Ponto!" Kate called to her dog. "Come, and get the
dolls out of the pond."
Rose went under, but she did not drown. Bess was still on the top of the
water.
Ponto came with a bound, and jumped into the pond. He swam around, and got
Bess in his mouth, and brought her to the shore.
Ponto then found Rose, and brought her out, too.
Kate said, "Good, old Ponto! Brave old dog!"
What do you think of Ponto?

a tent.
