5. Let us drive our horse home, and then feed him with corn or hay.

6. If

you give him corn and hay,
He will draw the cart a-way;
If you beat him with a stick,
Then he is sure to sulk and kick.

JOE.

1. Joe is go-ing to fish in the lake. He will take a rod, a long line, and a small hook. He needs a bask-et too.

2. The fish will not come to the hook, if Joe does not put a fly or a worm on it. Does he know how to bait his hook?

3. He must take care that the hook does not run into his hand. It will tear his flesh and pain him much.

4. If Joe brings home some fish, his sis-ter Ann will cook them on the fire for him. Tell her to have the fire hot, or the fish will not be well cooked.

5. Ann will put the fish on a dish. We shall all taste Joe's fish.

1. What is that large thing we see in the sea? It is a whale. Do you see how it blows?

2. A ship has come a long way to get the whale. Six men in the boat have gone from the ship to the whale. They row as fast as they can, lest the whale swim a-way from them.

3. Why do the men wish to kill the whale? They kill it for its oil. They will take the oil home and sell it. We burn oil in our lamps at night.

4. Whale-bone is got from the whale. Tell me what it is use-ful for.

5. See the large fins a whale has! It can sink a boat with a blow from its tail.

Oh, puss-y, will you tell me why
At all the pret-ty birds you fly?
The lit-tle birds that sing so sweet
You sure-ly would not catch and eat.
For you are ev-er kind-ly fed,
Each day with nic-est milk and bread,
And al-ways at my din-ner too
I see a love-ly bit for you.

At night you sleep so warm and snug,
Be-fore the fire up-on the rug,

While lit-tle birds (as I've been told)
Are oft-en fro-zen with the cold.

Now puss-y, dear, do list to me,
And do not, do not cru-el be;
Oh, do not harm the weak and small,
For that's not be-ing good at all.
