From these exercises the notion gradually develops that:
the first person is the one who speaks;
the second person is the one who listens;
the third person is the one spoken of.
Other commands may be dramatized by small groups as follows:
—The first person must put a question the second must answer, and the third from a distance must try to hear both of them.
—Let the first one write, the second one watch, and the third one say "That is not right."
The following commands may be read aloud by the child:
—I ask you a question very softly. You answer me; and he, over there, must try to hear both of us.
—I shall write; you must act as if you were trying to read what I am writing; and then he, over there, will call out: "That is not right."
