- Abstract
- en_US I include this book because it helps complete a series containing fable books. According to this legend, Hans is returning home from visiting Mr. Van Notten as fast as his wooden shoes can take him. The trip is harder because a cold storm is raging, as the cover illustration shows. As he nears town, he sees a breach in the dike. He runs through town to warn people, but all the houses are closed up against the storm. He puts his fist into the hole and stays there through the cold night. Mr. Van Notten discovers him in the morning and gets help from the town. The mayor gives Hans a medal. He is the boy who held back the sea. "Perseverance means sticking with something even when it gets difficult. It helps us through hard times and leads us to great accomplishments."
