Then she went to Sally’s house.
Sally ran to her and said,
“Good morning, Goody Twoshoes.’
“Good morning, Sally,” said Goody Twoshoes.
“Can you read for me?”
“Yes, I can read for you,” she said.
Sally took the letters out of the basket.
Then she made words like this:—
Book, read, school, sing.
She made other words from the letters.
Then Goody Twoshoes went to other houses.
All the children were glad to see their little teacher.
THE BRAMBLE BUSH AND THE LAMBS.
A bright happy brook ran through a pleasant meadow.
The horses and cows and sheep went there to drink.
When the sheep and lambs went down to drink they passed by the bramble bush.
Sometimes the bramble bush would pick off little pieces of wool.
The sheep did not like this.
So they said to the bramble bush, “You are of no use.
We give the children wool to make warm clothes for the winter.”
The cows said, “We give the children milk to drink.”
The horses said, “We work for the children and give them pleasant rides.”
But the bramble bush did not say a word.
