Do You Really See the Sea?

John had heard about the sea, but he didn't quite believe it. So he said to his father, when you go to the seaside, do you really see the sea? All the other children laughed, anmary, the eldest, who knew everything, said, silly, of course you do. Then john gave a great sigh of happiness and said, i foht perhaps you did. And he walked round and round the garden, singing, i am going to see the sea.
