Art Explained By A Writer - Boys Playing on the Shore (1884)

It's a great day to go to the riverside
There isn't much we need, me and my siblings
We share the clothes we have without any fight.

Big Brother
He wears the pants while I have the white shirt
A sunburn is not what I am looking forward for

How I wish I had his boat
Instead of mine that doesn't float
It is do-it-yourself, not the better art.

My dad is a lousy hobbyist
The kid next door has a bought one from the shop
It is painted wine red.

Imagine how cool it would look in this grey scenery.

Is this the colour the world sample?
I doubt it, my boat sucks
Although my little brother loves to lay his hands on it

I pretend I don't see him
It's a good thing he's scared of water
No way I'm gonna give him a hand to step onto the stones

I asked if my brother would give me his boat or at least
Let me play with it
I even begged him.

He told me to make my own and stop nagging
I wonder...
Where are mom and dad?

What if I kick him accidentally
Would they notice it?
I will say he slipped and exchange the boats quickly.

Sorry, brother, but I have to have it
You force me to be nasty child and grab it
I asked it kindly, even more than once
Whose the bastard of us two?

A quick turn.

Give me your hand, little brother
Let me help you into the water
Would you like to hold my boat?

What pinces in my naked bottom
Is it a stick?
Leave it!

Splash

Is the water cold
What do you say, you can't swim?
It isn't deep.

Stand up.
Let me hold your boat
You break it while you're splashing around.

Have fun.
