But, no sooner had he spoken than a big wave rolled, splish-splash-splosh, right up the shore of the pond, which was rather sandy, and it sprayed itself over the toes of Buddy and Brighteyes the wave splashed, you understand not the sand, of course.

Bartja and Sappho stood at the helm and gazed towards Naukratis, until the shores of the Nile vanished and the green waves of the Hellenic sea splashed their foam over the deck of the trireme. Our young bride and bridegroom had not travelled farther than Ephesus, when the news reached them that Amasis was dead.
