"Cluck, cluck, cluck!" says Mrs. Speckle. "Come, chicks, come! Here is something to eat." Guess what Mrs. Speckle found. She found some big brown worms.

. Guess where she found them. She found

them in the ground.

Guess how she found them. She turned them up with her long, sharp claws.

"Cluck, cluck!" says Mrs. Speckle.

Tom Tucker has a new boat. Here it is

on the water. Mr. Tucker is going to take us to sail.

Jump into the boat, girls and boys! Jump in! There is room for all. Mr. Tucker says

we may go.

Now sit still, children. We are going to start. Mr. Tucker is fastening the sail.

Throw back the rope, Tom. Here we go!

There is Rob's boat sailing this way.

Rob

is going to turn his boat around and go with us. Rob! Rob! Are you waiting for us? We

are all here. Look out, Rob!

The boats must not touch.

Here we come!

Turn around and go with us, Rob! We are going for a good long sail.

The water is as blue as the sky. Look in the water. See! We are sailing on the clouds, and the clouds are sailing, too.

The wind is blowing the clouds. The wind is blowing the boats. We are sailing on. Blow, wind, blow! and go, boat, go! How long may we sail, Mr. Tucker?
