THE GOOD GIRL
The Good Girl always minds what Her father and mother say to her; and takes pains to learn whatever they are so kind as to teach her. She is never noisy nor troublesome; so they like to have her with them, and they like to talk to her, and to instruct her.
She has learned to read so well, and she is so good a girl, that her father has given her several new books, which she reads in by herself, whenever she likes; and she understands all that is in them.
[Original]
She knows the meaning of a great many difficult words; and the names of a great many countries, cities, and towns, and she can find them upon a map. She can spell almost every little sentence that her father asks her to spell; and she can do a great many sums on a slate.
