Broek in Waterland’s famed tidy village charms visitors
A long excerpt describes Broek in Waterland near Amsterdam famed for its cleanliness and colorful houses. The tale contrasts Holland’s flat dykes and canals with a village where streets are paved with blue stones, doors are scrubbed, gardens bloom with tulips, and residents take pride in order. The piece then shifts to a domestic scene where a boy learns a lesson in perseverance from his mother about tackling a heavy pile of wood one stick at a time, a parable on effort and patience.
