  when warm walk these
  One morning when the sun was warm these children went out to take a
  walk。
  Do you know who they are?
  I see May and Rose and little Lucy。
  There are two other girls with them; but I do not know their names。
  They took a little wagon with them; and went up the hill。
  They went to the field on the hill to find some violets。
  They   found   some   sunflowers   in   the   field;   but   violets   do   not   grow
  there。
  They saw a wild rose; but a busy bee was on it。
  〃Now;〃 said Lucy; 〃let us go to the well and see if it has water in it。〃
  〃Yes;〃 said one of the other girls; 〃the sun is too hot here。 But if we go
  to the well; you must take care not to fall in。〃
  〃Oh; I will not fall in;〃 said Lucy。
  〃I will look at the water far down in the well; but I will not fall。〃
  The girls will go home when the sun goes down。

  By and by it will set behind the hills。
  The sun shines in the day time。
  It helps to keep us warm。
  It gives us light。
  When it goes down we have night。
  Then the stars come out and shine。
  The moon shines at night; too。
  But it is not so bright as the sun。
  On some nights the moon does not shine at all。
  Do you like to see the moon?
  Yes; I like to see it。
  I like to see its pretty light。
  We can look at the moon; but we can not look at the sun。
