“I shall teach how much better it is to sing than to slay.
“Chief, listen, chief,
Be more gentle; be more loving.
Chief, teach it, chief,
Be not fierce, oh, be not cruel;
Love each other!
Love each other!”
THE RED-HEADED WOODPECKER.
HERE was an old woman who lived on a hill. You never heard of any one smaller or neater than she was. She always wore a black dress and a large white apron with big bows behind.
On her head was the queerest little red bonnet that you ever saw.
It is a sad thing to tell, but this woman had grown very selfish as the years went by.
People said this was because she lived alone and thought of nobody but herself.
