Holland is now part of a country in Europe that we call the Netherlands.  \nThey called their new city New Amsterdam, after a city in their native land.

North Sea  \nHans and Katrina in New Amsterdam-2  \nThe Dutch were a happy, jolly people. They liked to have good times, and they liked to see their children have good times. Hans and Katrina were not expected to be sober and quiet, as Betty and Ruth were. They were allowed to romp and play and dance. Sometimes they were even allowed to go to the grown-up folks'parties. Often they were allowed to sit up after dark and listen to the stories that their father and mother liked to tell. No story did Hans and Katrina like so well as the story of old Rip Van Winkle, who went to sleep and slept for twenty years up in the Catskill Mountains.  \nRip Van Winkle  \nCatskill Mountains  \nThere is a funny picture book with the story of Rip Van Winkle in it. It has the picture of the little short elves who made signs to Rip Van Winkle, but who could not speak to him.  \nThere is the picture of Rip carrying the cask up the mountainside, and another picture of the elves rolling their ninepins.  \nFree K-12 Worksheets and More  \nWhen Ruth and Betty heard the rolling in the skies they called it thunder; but Hans and Katrina knew better.

They were very busy little folks, for all they were so jolly. Katrina could sew and knit, and Hans could cut wood and drive the cows as well as anyone could.  \nYou should have seen Katrina when she was dressed for a party. She wore a funny little cap, and tied her hair in a hard knot behind. She wore akerchief round her neck, and her skirts were full and stiff. Indeed, she wore so many of these skirts that they stood out like a Dutch cheese.  \nFree K-12 Worksheets and More  \n4.

The schools would seem very odd to us now, but  \n[www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com](www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)  \nHans and Katrina in New Amsterdam-4  \nthere were no lazy children in them, you may be sure. The Dutch teacher always carried a birch rod in his hand; and any child who came to school to play was sure to feel that rod.  \nIt may be that these jolly little Dutch children were more mischievous in school than the sober little English children were. We are not sure; but both English and Dutch children had good times in their schools and with their teachers, thereis no doubt of that.  \nmischievous  \nBoth the Dutch and the English mothers liked to scrub and clean their houses.
