Come; girls let us play with our dolls。
We will play school。
Our dolls will be the children。
Our dolls are as good as some children are。
They have their books; and I think; 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。

REVIEW。
One day Henry took a pail with him and went up the hill。
Do you think he went to get a pail of water? I do not think so。
He went to find violets and wild flowers in the woods。
After a little he came down; but he would not let me look in his pail。
He would not tell me how many flowers were in it。
〃Who will buy my wild roses?〃 he said。 〃Who will buy my sweet
violets?
I came down the street to sell my flowers。 But now I must say they do
not sell very well。〃

Do you know the name of this big yellow flower?
What kind of flower is it?
Oh; I know。
It is a sunflower。
Does it look like the sun?
It likes the sun。
Do you know what sunflowers are good for?
Yes; they are good to look at。
If you will go to the field on the hill; you may see many of them。
They are not sweet flowers; like your violets and some others。
If you will give me one of your pretty roses; you may have all the
sunflowers I can find。
I like roses and sweet violets。
I like to see big; yellow sunflowers; too; but I do not care to take them
home with me。 Do you?

I am sure you will try to learn。
Then you can read about the pretty birds; and the tall sunflowers; and
good children at school。
Soon you may take your book to school。
See this picture; Henry。
It is a picture of a little bird。
I think it is a yellow bird。
The bird has a pretty nest in the woods。
Would you not like to see the little ones in it?
By and by; they will come out and try to fly。
Very soon you may see them as they fly from bush to bush。

bee busy buzz sing work
We fly about from flower to flower。
We sing as we work。
Would you like to know what we sing?
We sing; 〃Buzz; buzz。〃
You will say;
〃What a funny way to sing!〃
But we do not care what you say。
We are too busy to think about it。
You must not keep us from our work。
What is as busy as a bee?
All day it sings as it works;
〃Buzz; buzz; buzz!〃
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour? It gathers honey all the day
From every bud and flower。
