LESSON 37
What kind of house is this?
Do you think it is a schoolhouse, or a church?
It looks like a church, but I think it is a schoolhouse.
I see the boys and girls with their books and slates.
When the bell rings, they will go in.
A good child likes to go to school.
LESSON 38
“John! come here. Be quick, and tell me what kind of bird this
is.”
“Do you not know, Henry?”
“Oh, no! what is it?”
“It is a quail.”
“It is the first quail I have seen. Is it good to eat?”
“Yes; but I should not like to kill it.”
LESSON 39
Is not this a dear baby in the crib?
Her name is Kate, and she has big, blue eyes.
You can not see her eyes, for they are shut.
Kate is a good baby; but she will cry if she is hurt, or if she
is not well.
Bess likes to sit near the baby, and to rock her in the
crib.
LESSON 40 REVIEW
Henry Black and Ned Bell live near our house. They go to school,
and I see them go by each day with their books and slates. Miss May
tells the girls and boys that they should be at the schoolhouse
when the bell rings.
So Henry walks fast, and is fi rst at school. He is a good boy,
and wants to keep the rule of the school. Ned is not a good boy. I
do not think he likes to go to school or to church. I saw him try
to kill a quail with a stone. The quail is too quick a bird for
that, and Ned did not hurt it; but I know that a good child would
not try to kill a bird.
LESSON 96
It is noon, and the school is out. Do you see the children at
play? Some run and jump, some play ball, and three little girls
play school under a tree. What a big room for such a small
school!
Mary is the teacher. They all have books in their hands, and
Fanny is reading. They are all good girls, and would not be
rude even in playing school.
LESSON 100
One evening Frank’s father said to him, “Frank, would you like to
go with me to catch some fish?”
“Yes; may I go? and with you, father? ”
“Yes, Frank, with me.”
“Oh, how glad I am!”
Here they are, on the bank of a river. Frank has just pulled a
fine fish out of the water. How proud he feels! See what a nice,
quiet spot they have found. Frank has the stump of a big tree for
his seat, and his father sits on a log near by. They like the
sport.
