“Oh,” said the little prince, “I never go traveling. Sometimes nurse hoists me on a parapet, but I never go farther than that.”
“But this is not an ordinary cloak,” said his godmother. “It is a wonderful cloak. It will take you anywhere you wish to go. From it you may see anything you wish to see.”
“But how can I get out of the tower?” he asked.
“Open the skylights,” she said, “then sit in the middle of the cloak. Say your charm and out you will float through the blue sky on your wonderful cloak.”—From “The Little Lame Prince.”
Friday
Letters of introduction may be sent by mail, or be presented by the person introduced. In the latter case, the letter is never sealed. The envelope is addressed in the usual way, but in the lower left-hand corner is written, “Introducing Mr. Smith, or Miss Smith,” as the case may be.
Write the above on the blackboard. Have the pupils look up in the dictionary, and write out definitions of the following words: Introduction, presented, person, latter, addressed, usual, way.
