Nils Language

Nils and I went for a walk the other day. Actually, it was his idea. He walked out of the house, pulling me along behind him. I asked him what he wanted to do, and he just kept walking down the driveway. So I kept walking, too. We walked all the way to the end of the street, then crossed the street and started up the next block. After awhile Nils sat down in the grass in front of someone's house to take a break.
"Let's sit in the shade," he said, and plopped down in the sun. Then we both drank some water. It was pretty warm out. He jumped up after less than a minute and started walking again. I drank some more water. Then he wanted some.
"That's good. Ahhh." This is one of his famous phrases.
"Water is good. It's refreshing, " I said in return.
The next time he took a drink he said, " Ahhh. I'm freshing."
