Sometimes their mother goes with them； and they stay there all day。
They like to look at the ships as they sail far away on the blue sea。
Do you think you would like to sail far away on a ship？
Sometimes these little girls find pretty shells in the sand。
I think all children like to play on the beach when the sun is warm； and
the wind does not blow。

only every use driver
What does the man say？
He says； 〃Good sweet apples； only two cents each！ Ripe； sweet apples；
yellow as gold！ Who will buy my apples this warm summer morning？〃
You can hear him as he goes down the road。 〃Who wants to buy a nice
red apple？〃
The apples are in the wagon。
The man walks in the road； behind the wagon； and tells every one that
he has apples to sell。
His little dog rides in the wagon and looks at the horse。
Is he not a funny driver？
The horse does not go very fast。
He knows that his driver can not use a whip。。
〃Oh； who wants to buy some good apples this bright summer
morning？〃

Frank has a whip in his hand； but he does not use it。
Henry's little dog runs behind。 Sometimes he has to run very fast to
keep up with the wagon。
Do you know where the boys are going？
I think they are going to town。
I wonder what they will buy in town。
Henry says he will buy a book with pretty pictures in it。 He can not
read very well； but he likes to look at books。
John wants to ride down to the river and look at the boats。 He would
buy a new boat if he could。 But he has only one cent； and what can he buy
with that？
Frank says they will not stay in town long。 They must go home very
soon。

happy often ask bow arrow Robert
The name of this little boy is Robert。 He is a busy boy。
He lives in a big town； and he does not often see the fields and the
green woods。
Yet he is just as happy as Frank and John and little Henry。
He lives in a tall house not far from the river。 In the summer time he
can see the ships as they sail up the river。
His father has a boat； and sometimes Robert goes sailing in it。
One day Robert saw a man with ＇Missing text＇ bows and arrows to
sell。 〃How much do you ask for your arrows？〃 he said。
〃＇Missing text＇ three cents each；〃 said the man。 〃Would you like to
buy one？〃
Robert did not buy an arrow。 He went home and made one that was
just as good。
Do you think he can use it？
｛Missing text＇ teacher says that he must ｛Missing text＇ bow now。

winter north ice snow brings short shiver
When winter comes； the days are short and the nights are long。
Then the cold north wind blows over the fields and woods。
It blows over the meadow and the river and the high hills。
It brings snow and ice。
It makes our hands and faces cold。 We do not like the north wind。
All children are happy when winter comes。 They like to see the snow。
They like to play on the ice。
They do not care if the north wind does make them shiver。 Those who
are dressed warm do not feel the cold very much。
Sometimes the snow is so deep they can not go to school。
In the evening； they sit in the warm house and read and play。

room window white story show
It is very cold to day； but the snow is not deep。 All the boys and girls
are at school。
The school room is warm and bright； and the children are happy。
You can see them at their places in the school room。
They look out of the window and see the snow falling。 How soft and
white it is！
The teacher has been showing the children some pictures in her new
book。 Now she is telling them a story that is found in it。
The children look and listen。 They do not think how cold it is out of
doors。

Can you tell what time it is？ Look at the clock； and then tell me。
The clock has a round face。
It has two hands。
We call the long hand the minute hand； for it tells the minutes。
We call the short hand the hour hand； for it tells the hours。
