And a ribbon to tie it

All round a pink bonnet

Pretty green veil!

FATHER BUYS BOBBY A NEW HAT

Betty showed her new hat to Father.

“That’s a very nice hat,” said Father. “Did Mother buy one for Bobby?”

“No, Daddy,” said Betty. “Mother and I went to the milliner’s shop. The milliner doesn’t have hats for boys as big as Bobby.”
