A BUSY TIME
We are all busy this morning. The boys are playing. The girls are reading. The flowers are growing. The rabbits are jumping. The birds are singing. I am thinking of something. Father is going to town. Mother is counting her chickens. Brother is ringing the bell. Sister is walking to school. Baby is sleeping at home. The sun is shining. The horses are running. Ned is making a wagon for me. We are all having a good time.
bought brought thought robin
What do you think I have, Grace? I have brought you something. Can you guess what it is? I do not know what it is, Marian. Let me think. I will guess three times. Is it a red rose? Is it a yellow kitten? Is it something you have bought for me?
| Yes, Grace, I bought it in town for you. I think you will like it. But you must guess what it is. Is it a book? Is it a picture? Yes, Grace, it is a picture. See! I bought it for you. Don't you think it is pretty? Oh, I thought it was a picture. It is a picture of a bird and a nest. Yes, it is a picture of a robin. The robin is by its nest. The nest is high in a big tree. There are four eggs in the nest. The eggs are blue. They are as blue as the sky. This is a pretty picture, Marian. I am glad you brought it to me. |
blocks build windows made
Robert has some pretty blocks. His father brought them from town. He can build a house with the blocks. The house will have doors and windows. The little girl is Robert's sister. "You may build a train of cars," he says. Do you see the train she made?
new clock tick-tock up
We have a new clock at our house. Father bought it for Grace and me. It is by the window in my room. Do you know what a clock does? It tells the time of day. It talks to us. What does the pretty clock say? It says, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock." In the morning it says, "Get up, get up." At night it says, "Bed time, bed time."
