〃Yes； Henry； it is the wind。

sail with this wind！〃

The wind blows soft； the sky is blue； the sun shines bright
In the summer the corn grows tall and green。 It is then that the children
play in the woods。
I like the summer time very much。

I wish my baby doll would wake。
Wake up； baby！ Wake up！
Do not sleep so long。
It is morning； and all good little dolls should be up。
Oh； baby； what a care you are！

I do not know of any doll that sleeps so long as you do。
Now jump up； and see what a bright morning it is。 See how the sun
shines。 Wake up； baby！
Do you wish to know where I have been； baby doll？ I have been down
in the meadow with Frank and Rose。
Shall I tell you what we saw？

Then the leaves fall from the trees。
Some of the leaves turn red； some turn brown； and some turn yellow as
gold。
In the fall we have ripe apples to eat。 The corn is ripe then； too。
All the children are glad when fall comes。 Do you know why？
Play time is over； and school begins。

rain stay grass fresh
〃I wish； mother； you would tell me where the rain comes from。
〃Does it come from the sky？
〃Are the leaves and the flowers and the grass glad when the rain falls
on them？〃
This is what Lucy asked her mother one day。 Her mother said：
〃The rain makes the grass look green and fresh。 It helps the flowers
grow。
〃The corn which we plant in the field could not grow if there was no
rain。〃
〃But； mother；〃 said Lucy； 〃I do not like the rain very well。 It makes me
stay in the house when I want to go and play。
See how fast it rains！ I shall have to stay at home all day。〃

evening west clouds those fade
It is evening； and the sun is about to set。 The day will soon be gone。
Let us sit here on the soft grass and look at the bright clouds in the
west。
Do you think there is any rain in those little clouds？
Oh； no！ Those are not rain clouds。
See how pretty they are！
Some of the clouds are red； and some are as yellow as gold。
It is the light of the sun that makes them look so bright。
Soon they will all fade away in the blue sky。
Soon it will be night； and the moon and stars will shine for us。

ship sea beach sand live shells
Here are four little girls who live near the sea。
They have gone down to the beach with their father。
They like to play in the sand。
Sometimes their mother goes with them； and they stay there all day。
They like to look at the ships as they sail far away on the blue sea。
Do you think you would like to sail far away on a ship？
Sometimes these little girls find pretty shells in the sand。
I think all children like to play on the beach when the sun is warm； and
the wind does not blow。

only every use driver
What does the man say？
He says； 〃Good sweet apples； only two cents each！ Ripe； sweet apples；
yellow as gold！ Who will buy my apples this warm summer morning？〃
You can hear him as he goes down the road。 〃Who wants to buy a nice
red apple？〃
The apples are in the wagon。
The man walks in the road； behind the wagon； and tells every one that
he has apples to sell。
His little dog rides in the wagon and looks at the horse。
Is he not a funny driver？
The horse does not go very fast。
He knows that his driver can not use a whip。。
〃Oh； who wants to buy some good apples this bright summer
morning？〃

Frank has a whip in his hand； but he does not use it。
Henry's little dog runs behind。 Sometimes he has to run very fast to
keep up with the wagon。
Do you know where the boys are going？
I think they are going to town。
I wonder what they will buy in town。
Henry says he will buy a book with pretty pictures in it。 He can not
read very well； but he likes to look at books。
John wants to ride down to the river and look at the boats。 He would
buy a new boat if he could。 But he has only one cent； and what can he buy
with that？
Frank says they will not stay in town long。 They must go home very
soon。

The name of this little boy is Robert。 He is a busy boy。
He lives in a big town； and he does not often see the fields and the
green woods。
Yet he is just as happy as Frank and John and little Henry。
He lives in a tall house not far from the river。 In the summer time he
can see the ships as they sail up the river。
His father has a boat； and sometimes Robert goes sailing in it。
One day Robert saw a man with ＇Missing text＇ bows and arrows to
