The Overall Boys in Switzerland

THREE CHEERS FOR EUROPEIt was the first day of summer, and it was the last day of the ocean trip.Jack and Joe, two Overall Boys, had crossed the big Atlantic. They were now sailing into a strange city, in a strange country, with a strange language.The city was Antwerp. The country was Belgium, and the language was—well, almost anything one cared to speak, French or German or Dutch or English.Jack said he should try English first. Then, if people did not understand him, he should use the Dutch words which the Sunbonnet Babies had taught him. But if people did not understand him then, he should have to keep still, or talk with his hands."Oh! I shall not keep still," said Joe. "I shall speak everything all at once, French and German and Dutch and English. You just watch me!"CONTENTSThree Cheers for EuropeOn the River RhineThe Bear CityAbove the CloudsOn Mount RigiShopping in LucerneSaturday Evening on Lake LucerneThe Birthday PartyWilliam Tell and His Little SonA Visit To Tell's CountryOver and through the MountainsReal TrampersOn the TrailThe Herdsman's CabinA Summer BlizzardExploring a GlacierAuf WiedersehenA LetterA List of Difficult Words
