11. Then the man made funny noises, and told Harry to watch for a little bird.

12. While Harry was looking for the bird, his picture was taken.

13. That is why Harry's eyes and mouth are so wide open.

14. Did Harry see the bird?

15. No, not a live bird, but the man gave him a picture of a bird.

16. Harry is going to have another picture taken to-morrow.

17. He is now old enough to behave better. 18. We hope it will be a better picture.

1. How bright the moon is to-night!

2. What a pleasant evening! It is neither

too warm nor too cold.

3. Do you see the man in the moon?

4. I see what looks like a man, but it is not

a man.

5. Papa says the moon has mountains in it. 6. The moon follows me, John, wherever I go. Does it follow you?

7. It seems to follow us. It really does not follow anybody.

8. But, John, when I run fast, the moon goes fast; when I walk, the moon goes slow; when I stop, the moon stops.

9. The moon seems to do so, James, because it is so far away.

10. If you run north and I run south, the moon will seem to you to move north, and to me to move south.

11. Now, James, how can the moon go both ways at once?

12. Why, John, of course it doesn't. But I don't understand yet how it is.

13. You will learn, James, why the moon appears to follow you when you are old enough to understand it.

1. O, Reuben, what a funny store you have!

2. It is only a make-believe store, Laura.

3. Let us see. What have you here? Salt for flour, sawdust for coffee, and sand for sugar. 4. I should think you would get rich at this

rate.

5. What are these little broken sticks?

6. O, they are candies for little boys and girls.

7. When their mammas send them to the store for tea, sugar, coffee, butter, cheese, or anything else, I give them a stick of candy. 8. Why do you do that?

9. Because I am a good store-keeper and like good little boys and girls.

10. Mr. Story does so, and he keeps a real store.

11. I want a new dress; have you any cloth to sell?

12. Yes, here is some silk cloth. It is the best kind.

13. Do you mean this brown paper is your

finest silk?

14. Yes, and I will sell it very cheap, only a dollar a yard.

15. Very well, I shall take twenty yards. 16. Good-by. I'll call again to-morrow.

Now he is

1. Here comes our milkman.

ringing the bell.

2. Why does he ring the bell?

3. To let people know he is coming. 4. How many quarts do you buy?

5. We take three quarts every morning at our house.

6. Mrs. Stone takes two quarts.

7. How many pints does Mrs. Stone take? 8. Four pints. We take six pints.

9. Where does your milkman get his milk?

10. It comes to the city on the cars from a farm in the country.

11. What is your milkman's name?

12. Mr. Winters. His son is a farmer. His son keeps twenty cows.

13. He keeps them in a warm barn in winter. 14. In summer they eat grass in the fields. 15. Then they lie down in the shade of the trees to chew their cud.

16. Sometimes when the days are hot they stand in the water in the brook till they get cool.

17. Have you ever seen cows in the field?

18. O yes, I have often seen them in the country on my cousin's farm.
