they will learn very fast.

Soon we shall see how well they can read.

This doll is not so good

as the others.

She does not like to go

to school very well.

She must sit by me

and look at her book.

As soon as she can read well, she

may go home and play.

She goes to school day after day,

but she does not learn.

She can not write at all.

She can not tell her name.

"What do you see by the book?"

"Oh, I see some pictures.

Two pictures are by the book, and

"Two and two are four."

They are going up hill, too.

The boy has a pail.

I think he is going to get a pail

of water for his mother.

How very funny it must be to run

up hill!

Will they find water on the hill?

Oh, yes, I see a well up there.

They must be good children to go

so far after a pail of water.

There must be good water in the well.

Jack and Jill went up the hill,

To get a pail of water;

Jack fell down and broke his crown,

And Jill came tumbling after.

We shall ride there in the big

wagon with father and mother.

Father says it will take all day to

go so far.

Mother says I must be sure to take

Lucy some of our good apples.

I will take her a book, too.

I am sure Lucy will be glad to see

us. She will run out to the

What kind of tree is it?

It is not a tree,

it is a vine.

It is not so tall as some trees.

It looks like a wild rose vine.

Will it have roses on it?

Yes, I think some roses

will grow on it;

but I am not sure.

Wild roses come in June.

Some of them are very sweet.

My roses are not wild.

They do not grow on a vine.

They grow on a bush.

A bush looks like a little tree.

REVIEW.

One day Henry took a pail with

him and went up the hill.

Do you think he went to get a pail
