THE MINER.
Here is a miner at work.
He is away down in a deep coal mine.
The sun does not shine in the dark coal mine.
So the miner has a little lamp in his cap.
Now he can see the hard, black coal.
See him lift his pick ax.
Click, click, click-ity click!
Hear the song of the pick ax!
He digs out the coal with his sharp pick.
All day long the busy miner is at work.
At night he comes out of the dark coal mine.
He gets into a strong iron basket.
Then he goes up, up, up, out of the mine.
How happy he must be to see the bright sunshine!
THE ENGINE.
“Puff, puff, puff!” Hear the engine!
It runs through field and wood.
It runs through the country and the city.
“Puff, puff, puff!” See the long train.
The cars are full of coal.
They have come from the coal mine.
Next winter we shall be warm and happy beside the fire.
Then we shall think of the busy miner down in the dark mine.
“Puff, puff, puff!” Hear the engine!
