Let us row our boat under this old tree. See how smooth the stream is. The day is fine, and fish hide under the bank. We cannot catch them. We can hear the robins sing, and we can pluck the roses on the bank of the stream. Let the boat swing in the stream. How I do like to row a fine boat! Have you a boat? The horses work when the sun is high. When they do not work, the horses run and play in the green grass. The farmer is kind to his horses. I am glad I am a farmer's boy. A farmer's boy for me! A farmer's girl for me! See the children play by the clear stream! They can pluck roses near by. Robin Red-breast is up with the sun, and is singing to the glad children. Our pet squirrel and our pet rabbit are at play in the high grass. They are so glad to see the fresh, clear morning. The children come near and look at them. One boy says, "Good morning, sun, I like you. Shine for me." And the glad sun did shine for him. REVIEW.-SIGHT READING. Is the sun rising, May? Yes, Ned; I see it from this window. Let the old horse eat grass. Children, rise with the sun and work in the morning. Row your boat on the smooth, clear stream. Catch some fish if you can. This cow can eat apples: so can my pet rabbit. Robin Red-breast, do you like to eat cherries? The old farmer caught a fish. He was glad. Do you like a boat, Ben? Look at that old hen. She has no little chicks. She can lay an egg.
