Well, Ned, where are you going now? Are you going to school? Yes, sir, I go to school at nine o'clock. I go to school every day. What do you do at school? Tell me all the things you do. We read and we write. We look at the pretty pictures. We sing about the flowers. Is that all you do, Ned? Oh, no, no. It is not all. I can't tell you everything we do. Every day we play a little. Every day we read something new. At three o'clock we go home.

always still when
THE BROOK
Here we are at the brook again. See how fast the water runs. Stand still and hear the brook sing. I hear it, I hear it. What does it say when it sings? It says: I am a little brook. I run, and I sing as I run. I give water to the trees and the grass. I give water to the pretty white lily. The cows come to see me. I give them water to drink. The robins sing to me every morning. The flowers love me. Why do you run all the time, little brook? Where are you going this fine day? I am running to the sea. I run, and still I am always here. Boys and girls like to play by the brook. They find many pretty things. Can you tell what they find? I think they sometimes find a flower. Sometimes they catch a fish in the brook. Good-by, little brook! We will see you again.
