A Taste of Colored Water

(4) K-3 Two cousins from a rural Southern community find out that city bubblers dispense "colored water." Eager to see for themselves, they ride into town where they discover the sorry truth. The aw-shucks naiveté isn't entirely convincing; readers will learn more about the story's context and intent from the appended author's note. Crosshatched pen-and-ink and watercolor caricatures illustrate the story.
