MAKING MAPLE SUGAR.
One warm spring morning
Father said, “Spring is here!
The sap will run to-day.
Come! We will tap the big maple trees.”
“Oh! Oh! What fun!” said John and Mary.
“Here are the pails,” said Father.
“We will carry them down to the maple trees.”
Father made a hole in one of the trees.
He put a spout in the hole.
Then he hung a pail under the spout.
Soon the sap began to run out.
Drop by drop it ran into the pail.
“It looks like water,” said John.
“It tastes like water with a little sugar in it,” said Mary.
