She covered them with all the clothes she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small.

One day a naughty boy named Hans went out to play with his friends. Hans walked by a tall earth dike. This was a wall to keep out the sea. If there was a hole in the wall, the sea would come in and flood the village where Hans lived. Then many people would be drowned.
While he was walking by the dike, he heard the sound of water falling on to the road. He found a small hole where the water was coming through.
Hans felt frightened. If he didn’t stop the water, it would flood the village where Hans’ parents lived. So he put his fingers in the hole until the next morning. Nobody went to look for Hans. His parents thought that he stayed with his grandmother. Hans felt cold and very tired.
