THE HOUSE IN THE WOOD.
A poor woodman lived in a little house near a great wood.
He had three little girls.
The oldest one did not like to work.
The second one did not do as she was told.
But the youngest girl was good and kind.
One morning the woodman went to work.
He said to the oldest little girl,
“Bring me my dinner to-day.
I will drop seeds along the path.
Then you can find the way.”
When the sun was high the oldest girl went into the wood.
But she lost her way, for the birds had picked up all the seeds.
On and on she went until it was dark.
At last she came to a little house in the wood.
There was a light at the window.
