THE PET LAMB.
Lucy lives on a farm.
One day she and Father went to look at the sheep.
“Oh, Father!” she said. “What a pretty lamb! May I have him?”
“Yes!” said Father. “You may.”
Lucy named him Lambkin.
Every day she came and fed him.
Lambkin loved her for she was kind to him.
He followed her all over the farm.
She did not like his dirty coat.
So Father washed Lambkin in the brook.
Now “its fleece was white as snow.”
All summer Lambkin was Lucy’s playmate. What fun they had!
II
The next spring Father said, “I must cut off Lambkin’s wool.
He is too warm.”
Lucy watched Father cut off the pretty white fleece.
“I wish I could have something made from Lambkin’s wool,” she said.
“I will make you some mittens,” said Grandma.
Mother made the wool into soft yarn.
Then Grandma got her knitting needles and went to work at once.
How the needles flew!
So Lucy had her wish.
She had some warm mittens made from Lambkin’s wool.
