Like The Story of George Washington, this was another of Jack Mendelsohn's Jacky's Whacky World cartoons told and supposedly drawn by a young boy. Yes, this is the story of a boy who used his finger in the dike of a wall to keep the water from flooding the city. In this version, however, he has to think a while before he does anything. He tries to call to other kids but their wooden shoes-the kind Holland is known for-are too loud for them to hear him! And wait till you see what the one adult who discovers the boy with his finger in the dike replaces that finger with! I also laughed at the name he gave his city-Amsterdarn-because, you know, he doesn't want to offend families watching! So on that note, I recommend A Leak in the Dike.
