I go into the water on tiptoes. It is very cold<br />
so, like a bird, I stand on one leg<br />
until I get used to it.<br />
Louise doesn’t want to go in at all.<br />
She is always like this.<br />
Maybe she’s afraid<br />
of the water but I don’t know why because I<br />
have often seen her putting her head into her<br />
water trough to have a drink.<br />
I think she is like a little princess who always<br />
needs to feel special.<br />
“Come into the water, Louise,” I call out to<br />
her. “It’s nice and cold. You’ll like it.”<br />
