been help done corn behind These boys have been in the field all the morning.What do you think they do in the field?

They do not go out there to play.They go to the field to work.They help their father plant corn.They are now on their way home.

One of the boys rides on the horse.The other two walk behind.

Do you think that these boys like to work? They will like to play when their work is done.Do you know what corn is?

Would you like to see how it grows in the field? This is the way it looks.

It is very green and pretty.

It grows to be as tall as a tall man.Do you know what corn is good for? th these they there their fathermuch went each cents more to-dayWould you like to buy some apples to-day? I have some very good ones here.

How much do you want for your apples, Frank?

I will sell you the green ones for three cents each.But I must have more for these yellow ones.They are sweet apples.

I think I must have four cents each for these.

Oh, Frank! You want too much for your apples.We can not buy them to-day.We can not give so much.

Well, then, children, I will tell you what I will do.I will give you as many apples as you want.

Thank you, Frank.You arevery kind.Will you give one of your sweet apples to each of us?

Yes, here are three apples for each of you; and I have four to take home to mother.

Shall we go to the green woods?

Or shall we go down to the field and help the boys plant corn? Tell me which way we shall go.

Oh, let us go out where the wild flowers grow.

Then we can see the birds in the trees, and the bees at their work.

Why do the bees fly from flower to flower? Do they like to work when the sun is warm?

Tell me why the bees are so busy all the day.

I will tell you all about them when we have found one at work.But come now, let us walk out to the green woods.

These four children have gone out to see the sun set.The sun is high in the sky now.

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.It is too bright for us to look at.

Let us sit here in the shade under our old apple tree.

You can look up and see the green leaves and the little green apples.

I should like to have one of the apples.I wish you would get it for me, Frank.

Why do you want it? It is not ripe.All the apples on the tree are green, and you must not eat them.

Do you see how little they are?

But the bright sun will shine on them day after day.

They will grow and grow; and after a time they will be ripe, and yellow, and good to eat.Then we will come and sit here in the shade, and you may have as many apples as you can eat.

Come here, Lucy, and listen.What do you hear in this flower?

Oh, mother! I hear a bee.It goes buzz, buzz, buzz! I wonder how it came to be shut up in the flower?

"Thank you, father, I am so glad that I may go." Here is Frank at the river, with his hook and line.How bright the sun shines on the water!

I wonder where all the fish have gone.Frank can not see them.The fish are far down in the water.

Frank has let his hook down, and he wishes that a big fish would come and take it.

But the fish do not wish him to catch them to-day.They will not come near the hook.

blue place above among any saying What a bright day this is!

The sky is as blue as it can be.

Lucy and her mother are in the woods.

They have found a good place under a green tree.

They sit in the shade of the tree and listen to the birds that are singing above them.

Robin Redbreast is in the tree.

Lucy sees him as he jumps about among the leaves.By and by he will fly away to his nest.

Lucy wonders where it is.

boat oar row deep sometimes road house John has a new boat.

His father gave it to him.

It is blue, with a bright red line near the water.He keeps it in the river, not far from the road.He has some good oars, too.

He keeps the oars at the house.His home is near the river.

He likes to row up and down the river in his boat.Sometimes little May goes out in the boat with him.

The water is not deep, and the children will not fall out of the boat.They like to row here and there on the river.

John takes the oars, and May sits in her place and tells him where togo.

Sometimes each takes an oar.Then the boat goes very fast.

John has a hook and line.But when May is with him he does not try tocatch any fish.

Shall I tell you why?

He knows that May does not like to see a fish on a hook.oa oars boat road oaREVIEW.
