enough to look at, but of a very noisy sound. Well, this boy would become a soldier, and he [11] ]was drest in a suit of fine clothes every day, and he strutted about, but if he did any thing wrong, he was sure to be whipped. See him march before the sentry-box, which I think is very hard work, because he must keep going, whether it rains hard or shines hot. In his hand is a heavy gun, on his back a knapsack, and on his head a great cocked hat. Look at [12] ]him, and see besides the tents or huts in which a soldier sleeps.
Well, after a little time he had to go to a great distance from home, into another part of the world, and one night while he was [13] ]lying under the tent on his straw bed, he was very much startled by hearing this Lion roar,
for he was in that part of the globe where lions live, and he was so frightened that he said he would not be a [14] ]soldier any longer, but get to his home again as fast as he could. So in the very first ship that sailed for his own country he came home. Here is the ship.
[15]
]When he left off his coloured clothes, and his gun and belts, he wore a round hat, and went to be a farmer, and he soon bought him a bay horse, and here he has him by the bridle. If
you are a good child to-day, he will put him in [16] ]a chaise and give you a pleasant ride.
