PICTURES FOR MARY.
When little Jack Horner was eating pie, he put in his thumb, and pulled out a plum. When Mary's mother reads to her out of a book, the little girl acts a good deal like Jack.
She puts out her finger, and points to the pictures. She thinks them the best part of the book. They are her plums.
If Mary calls out, "Moo-o-o," you may know that she sees a picture of cows. Here is the very one she found a day or two ago. In it you see two cows,—a big one and a little one. The big cow is standing up, and the little cow is lying beside her.
The little cow has no horns. Mary calls it "a little cow," because it looks too old to be called a calf.
