"Whoa, Dobbin!" says a man to his horse: "if you go further into the pond, I shall have to follow you, which I shall not like, with my shoes and stockings on." The other horse is drinking very quietly. What a pleasant thing to have a nice pond to go to when they are thirsty; and I hope the men also have got a nice supper at home, and kind wives and children to welcome their return.
No. 22.—Child and Chickens.
"Chick, chick, chick, here is some corn for you, and crumbs of bread and cheese, which mamma saved for you after dinner. Now mind, you little things, don't quarrel about the pieces: if you do, I won't give you any more."
No. 23.—Rabbit, Goat, and Hare.
Here are three very pretty animals. The first is a rabbit, of a kind, gentle disposition. The second is a goat: he is by nature wild, and jumps about from crag to crag, on his native mountains. The third is the timid hare. I am afraid she is running from the pursuit of the dog. Ah! what a cruel thing it is to set dogs to hunt this beautiful little animal.
