SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS
From the beginning, aim for speed and accuracy. The
child's mind should be trained to act as quickly and as
accurately as possible. Permit no halting, stumbling read-
ing. The stories are written in the language of the child,
the sentences are short, there is no difficult phrasing, there
are no obsolete words, the subject matter is within the
grasp of little children. Briefly, the thought and the lan-
guage of the stories are familiar to the child; therefore,
there is no reason for slow, halting reading. Reading is a
process of obtaining thought, and the quicker that thought
is obtained, the more efficient we become.
Silent reading is the great means to this end. In this
grade it will not be possible to have much silent reading
until a foundation of visible language has been laid. When
the child has been taught the visible form of fifty or sixty
words, he should be able to read a sentence silently and
tell in his own words the meaning of that sentence ; he
should be able to answer questions proving that he knows
the meaning of what he has read.
In all the stories the thought element must precede the
correct oral expression. A child must have some thought
or idea of what he is going to read before he can read
intelligently. He learns to read through his intelligent
delight and interest in the stories. For the first month or
two, when the child's reading vocabulary is small and his
memory is very short, tell the story in your own words
first, then proceed to the reading' of it. Later on, as his
vocabulary grows and he becomes more self-reliant, simply
talk about the story, arouse interest in it, make it alive,
discuss the characters in the story, and then take up the
reading. The child is able and anxious to put together
what he knows and to plot out the whole story for
himself.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon the use of the
dramatic element in the stories. Self-activity and interest
go hand in hand. Each story can be played — can be acted
by the children.
The same can be said when teaching the word and the
sentence. In teaching the visible form of run, let the child
run; of sweeping, let him go through the motions of
sweeping. In the silent reading of an " action " sentence,
to test whether the child knows the meaning of what he
has silently read, let him put the thought of the sentence
into action. Take, for example, the sentence " The baby
frog came hopping back to his mother." Ask a child to
show what the baby frog did. If the child has read the
thought of the sentence, he will hop !
Each story is the nucleus for nature and ethical lessons.
Correlate your work in nature and ethics with the reading
lesson wherever possible.
Unknown Words. In the two divisions of words, sight
and phonetic, of which all language is composed, the child
must learn the phonetic words from the phonetic drill
which precedes the reading lesson. If he cannot get the
sight words through adroit questioning by the teacher,
he must be told the word. Every word in the sentence
or paragraph to be read must be known to every child
before the sentence or paragraph is read.
Particular stress is laid upon the word drill after the
reading lesson. This does not contradict the statement,
Every ivord in the sentence or paragraph to he read must
he known to every child he/ore the sentence or paragraph
is read. It refers simply to the drudgery of the reading
lesson, the drill on sight words, the object of which is to
impress the visible form of the unknoivn word so thor-
oughly upon the* mind of the child that he will recognize
the word when he sees it in new surroundings. If fifteen
or twenty minutes are spent in trying to teach isolated
words before anything is said about the content of the
reading lesson, the child is tired out ; his mind is not in
the best condition to take up the reading itself. Let the
child's interest be aroused by the story or content at the
beginning of the reading period. The drill on the new
words of the lesson will be more spirited because thought
has been associated with these words.
The words listed as " Review Words," following the
stories in the reader, are the words to be taught and
6
drilled upon. There has been no haphazard selection of
words that may seein difficult to the author of a reader. The
new words that occur in a story have been put in the list in
the order in which they first appear. By glancing through
the lists that go before, a teacher knows exactly what words
her pupils have been taught and are responsible for.
In the beginning, blackboard reading, either script or
print, must precede the primer reading. As the class ad-
vances, less of this blackboard reading will be found
necessary.
Teaching the stories. The, first selection, " Old Mother
Hubbard," should be committed to memory. Write upon
the blackboard, and study and memorize from the black-
board, a stanza at a time, teaching only those words listed
beneath the stanzas. In drilling upon these words each day,
distribute primers and let the children find in the stanzas
the words they have been taught. Let them "read" the
stanza from the primer. Let the children reproduce orally
the thought of each stanza ; let them dramatize it. Give
conversation and nature lessons upon the subject matter
in each stanza. Three weeks may be given to this prepara-
tory work — time well spent, since the child will have a
starting vocabulary of forty words.
The following method of procedure is suggested for use
with the other stories :
When beginning a story, spend the first day upon the
thought element of the story alone. For example :
I. Tell the story in your own words for the first two
months ; later on, as suggested on page 4, arouse
an intelligent interest in the story.
II. Rehearse the story by questioning.
III. Let the child tell the story.
IV. Let the children act out the thought of the story;
let them dramatize it.
Second and succeeding days:
I. Preliminary phonetic drill.
II. Oral reproduction of the story.
III. Recapitulation: "What did we read about yester-
day?" " Who can tell me what happened next?"
IV. Write the first sentence upon the blackboard.
When beginning the story, write the title.
V. Silent reading of the sentence written.
VI. Known words recognized. " Who can come up to
the board and point to a word he knows?"
VII. Unknown words made known. " Point to a word
you do not know ! "
Teach the unknown words in connection with their
thought and use in the sentence. Where this is im-
possible, tell the child the unknown word. Under-
line the unknown word in colored chalk, and write
it several times upon different parts of the black-
board with the same color of chalk. Use a different
color for each new word. This is the preparation
for the drill on words after the reading lesson.
VIII. Reading of the sentence from the blackboard.
(Write the next sentence of the lesson upon the
blackboard and proceed in the same manner.)
IX. Word pointing. Call children to the board to point
to a word you name.
X. Drill on words. Blackboard drills ; perception cards.
In this grade, where the lesson periods are necessarily
short in order to sustain the interest of little children,
the blackboard work will take up one reading period. The
primer reading may be taken up after one or two lessons
of a different character have been given.
Primer reading.
I. Picture study: Conversation.
II. Silent reading of the first sentence of the lesson.
Question for content or thought of the sentence.
III. Known words recognized. " Point to his, the, hen."
Walk down the aisles and see that each child is
pointing to the word you ask for.
IV. Unknown words. If a child does not know a word,
let him stand or raise his hand. If the word is a
phonetic word, let him point out the phonetic
elements and sound the word. He will probably
get it then. If the word is a sight word, ques-
tion him about the thought of the sentence, or
refer him to the blackboard. If he cannot get
the word then, tell it to him, or, better still, let
the other children tell him.
V. Oral reading of the first sentence. (Proceed in the
same manner with the other sentences of the
lesson.)
VI. Word pointing. " Put your finger upon the word
her, hungry, farmer." Verify.
VII. Drill on words. Blackboard drills ; perception cards.
Expression and emphasis. If, from the very beginning,
attention is paid to the adjectives, adverbs, negatives, and
other words demanding emphasis, there w T ill be little
trouble in securing good expression in oral reading. Read
the sentence or paragraph yourself as an example for the
children in correct oral expression.

THE FARMER
There was once a farmer.
He had two horses.
See the farmer and his two horses !
19
"I shall sell my horses and buy
a cow," said the farmer.
"The cow will give me milk."
So he sold the two horses and
bought a cow.
"I shall sell my cow and buy a
sheep," said the farmer.
" I can eat the sheep."
So he sold the cow and bought a
white sheep.
"I shall sell my white sheep and
buy a goat," said the farmer.
" The goat will give me milk."
So he sold the white sheep and
bought a little goat.
20
"I shall sell my little goat and
buy a pig," said the farmer.
"I can eat the pig."
So he sold the little goat and
bought a fat little pig.
" I shall sell my fat little pig and
buy a goose," said the farmer.
" The goose will give me feathers."
So he sold the fat little pig and
bought a gray goose.
"I shall sell my gray goose and
buy a duck," said the farmer.
"I can eat the duck."
So he sold the gray goose and
bought a fine fat duck.
21
"I shall sell my fine fat duck and
buv a hen," said the farmer.
" The hen will give me eggs."
So he sold the fine fat duck and
bought a little red hen.
The little red hen made a nest.
She laid an egg in the nest.
See the hen and her nest !
22
"I shall sell mv little red hen and
buy a cat," said the farmer.
"The cat will catch the mice."
So he sold the little red hen and
bought a pretty little cat.
The pretty little cat sat by the
warm fire.
Then what do you think happened?
The cat's tail caught fire and burned
down the farmer's house !

WHAT THEY SAID
The hungry cow said, "Moo, moo!
I am hungry. I want some hay."
The hungry sheep said, "Baa, baa!
I am hungry, too. I want some hay."
24
Away went the farmer to get some
hay for the cow and the sheep.
He gave the hay to the hungry
cow and the hungry sheep.
The little pig said, " Wee, wee !
I am hungry. I want some corn."
The little red hen said, "I am
hungry, too. Cluck, cluck ! I want
some corn."
Then away went the farmer to get
some corn.
He went to the mill to get some
corn for the hungry pig and the
hungry hen.
He gave the corn to both of them.
25
"I want some milk," said the
hungry little cat.
" Meow ! meow ! I want some milk."
Old Mother Hubbard went to the
cupboard.
She went to the cupboard to get
some milk.
She gave the milk to the cat.
26
A little brown mouse peeped out
from a hole in the corner.
"I want some cheese," said she.
"Eee, eee! I want some cheese."
The cat saw the hungry little
brown mouse.
The hungry mouse saw the cat.
She ran back to the hole in the
corner of the room.
The hungry little brown mouse
had to go without the cheese!
27
THE CAT, THE RAT, THE DOG,
AND, THE PIG
"I have found some corn," said a
little hen.
" I must plant it in the ground.
Who will help me plant the corn ?
Will you help me, little cat?"
"Meow! meow! no, no!" said the cat.
<f Will you help me, little dog ? "
" Bow, wow ! no, no ! " said the dog.
" Will you help me, little rat ? "
" Eee, eee ! no, no ! " said the rat.
"Little pig, will you help me
plant the corn?"
"Wee, wee!" said the pig; "no, no!"
28
" Then I will plant the corn," said
the hen, and she planted the corn
in the ground.
She planted the corn deep in the
ground.
29
" Who will help me water the
corn?" said the little hen.
"Will you water it, little rat?"
" Eee, eee ! " said the little brown
rat; "no, no!"
30
" Will you water the corn, little
pig ? "
"Wee, wee!" said the fat little
pig; "no, no!"
" Will you water the corn, little
dog ? "
" Bow, wow ! " said the cross little
dog; "no, no!"
"Little gray cat, will you help
me water the corn?"
" Meow ! " said the little gray cat ;
"no, no!"
" Then I will water the corn," said
the little hen, and she watered the
corn.
31
She watered the corn every day.
The corn began to peep out of
the ground.
By and by the corn was ripe.
" The corn is ripe," said the little
hen.
" Who will help me cut the ripe
corn ?
Will you cut the corn, little pig?"
" No, no ! wee, wee ! " said the fat
little pig.
"Will you cut the corn for me,
little dog?"
" No, no ! " said the cross little dog ;
"bow, wow!"
32
" Little gray cat, will you cut the
ripe corn
?"
ff No, no!" said the little gray cat;

33
"Oh, little rat, will you help me.
cut the ripe corn?"
"Eee, eee!" said the little brown
rat ; " no, no ! "
" Then I will cut it alone," said
the little hen, and she cut down the
ripe corn all alone.
" The corn must be ground into
meal," said the little hen.
"Who will take it to the mill?
Will you take the corn to the
mill, little rat?"
"Eee, eee!" said the little brown
rat; "no, no!"
34
"Will you take the corn to the
mill to be ground into meal for me,
little dog?"
" Bow, wow ! " said the cross little
dog; ff no, no!"
" Little gray cat, will you take
the corn to the mill to be groimd
into meal for me?"
ff I will not take it. Meow ! meow ! "
said the little gray cat.
" Oh, little pig, will you help me
take the corn to the mill ? "
rf Wee, wee ! I will not ! " said the
fat little pig.
" Then I will take the corn to the
35
mill to be ground into meal," said
the little hen, and she took the corn
to the mill.
She took the corn to the mill all
alone.
The miller ground the corn into
meal.
The hen carried the meal home.
She carried it home in her beak.
"Now, who will make a big round
corn cake?" said the little hen.
"Will you make the cake for me,
little pig?"
"Wee, wee! no, no!" said the fat
little pig ; " I will not make the cake ! "
" Little rat, will you make the big
round corn cake ? "
"Eee, eee! no, no!" said the little
brown rat.
"Oh, little cat, will you help me
make the cake ? "
" No, no ! I will not ! " said he.
37
"Little dog, will you help me?"
" No, no ! I will not ! " said he.
" Then I will make the cake," said
the little hen, and she made a big
round corn cake.
" Now the cake is ready to eat,"
said the little hen.
" Who will help me eat it ? "
" I will, I will ! " said the cross
little dog ; " bow* wow ! "
"I will, I will!" said the little
gray cat; "meow! meow!"
"Wee, wee!" said the fat little
pig, " I will ! "
38
"I will, too!" said the little brown
rat ; " eee, eee ! "
"Oh, no; you shall not have a
taste!" said the little hen.
" You did not help me plant the
corn.
You did not help me water the
corn.
You did not help me cut down
the corn when it was ripe.
You did not help me take the
corn to the mill to be ground into
meal.
I carried the meal home all by
myself!" said the little hen.
39
"Then, you did not help me make
this big round corn cake.
No, you shall not have a taste!
I shall eat it all myself!" and she
ate the big round corn cake.
40
THE SLY OLD CAT
A big gray cat sat by the tire.
He was very, very big.
"I have had no dinner," said the
big gray cat.
"I am very hungry.
How good a fat mouse would taste ! "
A little mouse peeped out of a
hole in the corner of the room.
The big gray cat saw her.
w There is my dinner," said the big
gray cat, "if I can think of a way
to get that mouse.
She is little, but she is fat.
She will taste very good, I think.
• 41
She will make a fine dinner!"
The big cat sat by the warm fire.
"Good morning, little mouse.
It is a very cold day," said he.
" Come and sit by my warm fire."
The little mouse would not go.
She ran back into the hole.
Soon she peeped out again.
" Oh, what a pretty brown coat you
have!" said the sly old cat.
" How soft and warm it must be !
I never saw a coat so soft and
pretty !
I have a gray coat, but it is not
as soft and pretty as your coat.
42 •
Will you let me pat your pretty,
soft, brown coat?"
The little mouse came out of the
hole in the corner of the room.
The big gray cat jumped — one,
two, three, and the little brown
mouse was gone

43
PUNCH AND JUDY
Punch and Judy were two little
kittens.
Punch was a little white kitten.
Judy was a little gray kitten.
They lived in a little house with
an old woman.
One night Punch caught a mouse.
"I shall have a fine dinner!" said
he. But Judy saw the mouse, too.
" I want that mouse ! " said Judy.
"I want it for my dinner!"
"You shall not have it!" said
Punch. "I caught it. It is mine!"
w I will have it ! " said Judy.
44
" I will have that mouse ! "
Then they began to fight. Punch
bit Judy and Judy bit Punch.
The old woman came into the room.
45
She took her broom from the corner.
She swept the two kittens right
out of the room !
46
It was a very cold, wet night!
The two little kittens had to stay
out in the cold and the wet.
They lay, side by side, on the wet
mat by the door.
They did not want to fight now.
Soon the old woman came to the
door.
She opened the door very wide.
Punch and Judy crept softly in.
They crept softly up to the warm
fire.
They lay down by the warm fire,
side by side, and went to sleep.
A big gray cat ate the mouse.
47
THE OLD WOMAN WHO RODE
ON A BROOM
Once there was a little old woman.
She lived in a little old house.
A cat lived in the little old house,
too.
One day the old woman said to
the cat, "Come, we will go and visit
the Man in the Moon."
" How shall we go ? " asked the cat.
"How shall we get there?"
" We will ride on my new broom,"
said the little old woman.
"You and I will ride on my new
broom."
48
So thev rode away on the new
« •
broom.
Thev rode away, and they rode
• • •
awav. till at last they eame to the
sky.
rr AVe have had a long ride," said
49
the cat. "I am very hungry now.
Shall we not eat our dinner?"
" There is nothing to eat up here.
There is nothing but sky up here,"
said the old woman.
"Come back to the house, then,"
said the cat.
" I am hungry for my dinner."
"I will not go back so soon," said
the little old woman.
"I came out to visit the Man in
the Moon.
I will not go back till I see him."
"Then I will go back to the house
by myself," said the cat.
50
"But how will you get there?"
asked the little old woman.
" You shall not have my new broom."
" I do not want your broom," said
the cat.
"I will go back to the house all
alone.
I will slide down the rainbow!"
And he did!

THE GREEDY OLD MAN
Once upon a time there was a
little old man.
He lived in a little old house.
This little old man had a pretty
white goose.
One day the little old man went
out to the barn.
There, in some hay, the pretty
white goose had made a nest.
In the nest lay a golden egg I
Every day after that, the goose
laid a golden egg.
Every day the old man went out
to the barn to get the golden egg.
52
"I shall soon be rich," he said.
"I shall soon be rich enough to
buy a fine house."
He had a chest full of golden
eggs, but that was not enough.
He was greedy and wanted more.
53
One day a farmer came to visit
this little old man.
"I have heard about your golden
goose," said he.
"Let me see her.
I may buy her, and if I do, I will
pay you well for her."
They went out to the barn.
The golden goose sat on the nest
that she had made in the hay.
"She is a fine fat goose," said the
farmer.
"Will you sell her to me?"
"No, no!" said the little old man,
"I shall not sell her.
?4
>he lav* more gr.M i<* me than
you can pay ioe.
She has laid a chert full of gold
for rrie!"
".She mast be full of gold!"" said
the farmer.
~Whv not kill her now. and then
you can get the rest of the gold all
at once?"
So the old man killed the pretty
white goose.
Ife killed the goose that laid the
golden eggs.
But there was no gold inside the
pretty goose!
55
LITTLE CHICK
One day Little Red Hen went out
into the garden with her little chick
to get some corn to eat.
A grain of corn stuck fast in Little
Chick's throat.
Little Eed Hen ran to get some
water for Little Chick.
She came to the brook and said,
w Dear brook, please give me some
water.
I want it for Little Chick.
A grain of corn has stuck fast in
Little Chick's throat."
The brook said, "I will give you
56
some water if you will bring me a
cup
»
Away ran Little Eed Hen to the
oak tree.
w Dear oak tree," said she, w please
give me a cup.
57
Won't you please give me one of
your little brown acorn cups?
I want it for the brook.
58
Then the brook will give me water,
and I will give the water to my dear
Little Chick.
A grain of corn has stuck fast in
Little Chick's throat."
"I will give you an acorn cup if
some one will shake my branches,"
said the oak tree.
Away ran Little Eed Hen to the
miller's girl.
"Dear little girl," said she, "please
shake the oak tree's branches.
Then the oak tree will give me an
acorn cup, and I will give the acorn
cup to the brook.
59
The brook will give me some water,
and I will give the water to Little
Chick.
A grain of corn has stuck fast in
Little Chick's throat."
" I will shake the oak tree's branches
if you will give me a pair of shoes,"
said the little girl.
Away ran Little Eed Hen to the
shoemaker.
" Dear shoemaker," said she, w please
give me a pair of shoes.
I want them for the miller's girl.
Then the miller's girl will shake
the oak tree's branches, and the oak
CO
tree will give me a little acorn cup.
I will give the acorn cup to the
brook, and the brook will give me
some water.
I will give the water to my dear
Little Chick.
A grain of corn has stuck fast in
her throat."
"I will give you a pair of shoes
if you will get me some leather,"
said the shoemaker.
Away ran Little Eed Hen to the
cow.
"Dear cow," said she, "please give
me some leather.
61
I want it for the shoemaker.
Then the shoemaker will give me
a pair of shoes.
I will give the shoes to the miller's
girl.

I will give the acorn cup to the
brook, and the brook will give me
some water.
I will give the water to my dear
Little Chick.
A grain of corn has stuck fast in
Little Chick's throat."
"I will give you some leather if
you will get me some hay," said the
cow.
Away ran Little Ked Hen to the
farmer.
She ran as fast as she could to
the farmer.
63
"Dear farmer," said she, "please
give me some hay.
I want it for the cow.
Then the cow will give me some
leather, and I will give the leather
to the shoemaker.

The farmer was sorry for poor
Little Chick.
He was sorry for Little Ked Hen
too.
"Take all the hay you want," said
the farmer.
65
w Thank you ! " said Little Eed Hen,
and she took as much hay as she

Betty-girl looked in the long green
grass, but she could not find her little
gold ring.
"O dear! O dear! What shall I
do?" cried she.
Just then Tommy-toad came hopping
along through the green grass.
69
"What is the matter, Betty-girl?"
asked Tommy-toad.
"I have lost my pretty gold ring,"
cried Betty-girl.
"I have looked in the long green
grass, but I cannot find it."
"Stop crying, little Betty-girl," said
Tommy-toad. "I'll find it for you."
Tommy-toad hopped through the
long green grass.
He hopped and he hopped and he
hopped, but he could not find the
pretty gold ring.
"O dear! O dear! What shall I
do?" cried Betty-girl.
70
Just then Benny-bug came along.
" What is the matter ? " asked he.
" Why are you crying, Betty-girl ? "
"I have lost my pretty gold ring,"
cried Betty-girl.
"I have looked in the long green
grass, but I cannot find it."
"Stop crying, little Betty-girl," said
Benny-bug. "I'll find it for you."
Benny-bug crawled through the
long green grass.
He crawled and he crawled, but he
could not find the pretty gold ring.
"O dear! O dear!" cried Betty-girl.
"What shall I do?"
71
Johnny-worm put his head up out
of a hole in the ground.
"What is the matter, Betty-girl?"
asked Johnny-worm.
"I have lost my pretty gold ring,"
cried Betty -girl.
"I have looked and looked in the
long green grass, but I cannot find it
anywhere."
"Stop crying, little Betty-girl," said
Johnny-worm. " I '11 find it for you."
Johnny-worm crawled through .the
long green grass.
He crawled and he crawled, but he
could not find the pretty gold ring.
72
" O dear ! O dear ! " cried Betty-girl.
"What shall I do?"
Billy-goat was in a field near by.
He heard Betty-girl crying.
Billy-goat ran as fast as he could
to Betty-girl.
"What is the matter, Betty-girl?"
asked Billy-goat.
"I have lost my pretty gold ring,"
cried Betty-girl.
"I have looked and looked in the
long green grass, but I cannot find
it anywhere."
"Stop crying," said Billy-goat.
"I'll soon find it for you."
73
Then what do you think Billy-
goat did ?
He began to eat the green grass!
He ate, and he ate, until all the
long green grass was gone!
Then Betty-girl looked and looked,
and there on the ground she found
her pretty gold ring.

CHICKEN LITTLE
Chicken Little was out in the
garden looking for corn.
A leaf from a big oak tree fell
on her back.
"Oh, oh!" said Chicken Little,
"the sky is falling! I will run and
tell the king ! "
Away she ran down the road to
tell the king.
By and by she met Little Eed Hen.
" Where are you going ? " asked
little Eed Hen.
"Where are you going so fast?"
75
"I am going to tell the king the
sky is falling," said Chicken Little.
"How do you know that?" asked
Little Red Hen.
" Oh ! " said Chicken Little, " I heard
it with my ears, I saw it with my
eyes, and a part of it fell on my
back ! "
76
"I am going with you," said
Little Red Hen.
"Come along," said Chicken Little,
and away they ran down the road
as fast as they could go.
By and by they met a duck.
" Where are you two going ? " asked
the duck.
"We are going to tell the king
the sky is falling," said Little Red
Hen.
"How do you know that?" asked
the duck.
" Chicken Little said so. She heard
it with her ears, she saw it with her
77
eyes, and a part of it fell on her
back."
"I am going with you," said the
duck.
" Come along, then," said Little Eed
Hen, and away they all ran down
the road as fast as they could go.
They had not gone very far when
they met a goose.
"Where are you three going so
fast?" asked the goose. .
"We are going to tell the king
the sky is falling," said the duck.
"How do you know that?" asked
the goose.
78
"Little Eed Hen said that Chicken
Little said so. She heard it with her
ears, she saw it with her eyes, and
a part of it fell on her back."
"I am going with yon," said the
goose.
" Then come along," said the duck,
and away the four ran down the road
as fast as they could go.
79
They had not gone very far when
they met a turkey.
" Where are you four going so
fast?" asked the turkey.
"We are going to tell the king
the sky is falling," said the goose.
"How do you know that?" asked
the turkey.
"The duck said that Little Eed
Hen said that Chicken Little said
so."
" How did Chicken Little know
that?" asked the turkey.
"Oh," said the goose, "she heard
it with her ears, she saw it with
80
her eyes, and a part of it fell on
her back."
"I am going with you," said the
turkey.
" All right ! Come along," said the
goose, and away the five went, down
the road to tell the king.
At the foot of a steep hill they
met Mr. Fox.
"Where are you all going so
fast?" asked Mr. Fox.
"We are going to tell the king
the sky is falling," said the turkey.
" Do you know the way ? " asked
Mr. Fox.
81
"Have you ever been to the king's
house ? "
"No, but we heard that the king
lives up at the top of this hill," said
the turkey.
"Oh, no!" said Mr. Fox, "he lives
away over there, across that field.
82
Come with me and I will show you
the way."
"Thank you!" said they, and away
they all ran, across the field after
Mr. Fox.
Mr. Fox led them across the field
to his den.
"This is the way to the king's
house. Come right in," said Mr. Fox,
and he went into his den.
They all went in after Mr. Fox, —
Chicken Little, Eed Hen, the duck,
the goose, and the turkey, — and
— they never came out again!
83
THE THREE GOATS
There was once a little old house.
Three goats lived in the little old
house.
One was Little Billy, one was
Middle Billy, and one was Big Billy.
The little house was near a river.
84
There was a bridge over the river.
On the other side of the river there
was a field.
There was fresh green grass in the
field.
The three goats wanted to go over
the bridge.
They wanted to eat the fresh green
grass.
"The fresh green grass will make
us grow fat," said the three goats.
A wicked fairy lived under the
bridge.
The three goats were afraid of the
wicked fairy.
85
They were afraid to go across the
bridge.
One morning Little Billy said, "I
want some fresh green grass to make
me grow fat. Let us go across the
bridge and get it."
"You go first," said Big Billy.
w All right. I '11 go first," said Little
Billy.
Trip, trip, trip, trip, went brave
Little Billy over the bridge.
" Who is that, tripping over my
bridge?" cried the wicked fairy.
"It is I, Little Billy!" cried the
little goat.
sc
"I am going to the field to eat
the fresh green grass so that I may
grow big and fat."
" I '11 eat you ! " cried the wicked
fairy.
" Oh, no ! Please don't eat me ! "
said Little Billy.
"Eat Middle Bill v. He is fatter
than I am. He will soon come over
the bridge."
"All right. I'll eat Middle Billy.
Run along!" said the wicked fairy,
and away ran Little Billy.
Then came Middle Billy over the
wicked fairy's bridge.
87
Trap, trap, trap, trap, went brave
Middle Billy over the bridge.
"Who is that, trapping over my
bridge?" cried the wicked fairy, look-
ing out from under the bridge.
"It is I, Middle Billy! I am going
to the field to eat the fresh green
grass so that I may grow big and fat."
88
"I'll eat you!" cried the wicked
fairy.
" Oh, no ! " said Middle Billy, " please
don't eat me. Eat my big brother,
Big Billy. He is fatter than I am.
He will soon come over the bridge."
" All right. I '11 eat Big Billy. Eun
along ! " said the wicked fairy, and
across the bridge ran brave Middle
Billy.
Then came Big Billy over the
wicked fairy's bridge.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, went
Big Billy over the bridge.
The bridge shook beneath his feet.
89
"Who is that, tramping over my
bridge ? " cried the wicked fairy, look-
ing out from under the bridge.
"It is I, Big Billy!" cried the
biggest goat.
"I am going over the bridge to
eat the fresh green grass so that I
may grow bigger and fatter!"
" I '11 eat you ! " cried the wicked
fairy.
"Come on up and try it!" cried
Big Billy.
"I will eat you!" cried the fairy.
"Well, come on up and try it,
then!" said Big Billy.
90
The wicked fairy ran up on the
bridge.
He rushed at Big Billy.
Big Billy rushed at the fairy.
Big Billy tossed the wicked fairy
into the river with his big horns.
The wicked fairy never came back
again, and the three goats ate the
fresh green grass until they grew
big and fat !
91
<i*t.
Ten little boys standing in a line,
One ran away and then there were
nine.
Nine little girls on a garden gate,
One fell off and then there were
eight.
92
Eight little larks flying up to heaven,
One flew away and left only seven.
._S*«&=_
Seven little birds picking up sticks,
One flew to make a nest and then
there were six.
93
Six little ducks; see them splash and
dive !
One came out and left only five.
Five little mice on the barn floor,
The cat caught one and then there
were four.
94
Four little chicks as hungry as can
be,
One found corn and that left three.
Three little boats on the water blue,
One sailed away and left only two.
95
Two little kittens ; see how they run !
One ran up a tree and that left one.
One little frog blinking in the sun,
He hopped away and then there was
none!
96
THE FKOG AND THE OX
"Mother," said a little baby frog,
"may I go out and play?
May I go to the big field and
play ? "
"Yes," said the mother frog, "but
do not go too far."
"No, mother," said the baby frog,
and she hopped to the big field
near by.
A big white ox was in the field.
He was very, very big.
The baby frog had never seen a
big white ox.
97
The big ox frightened the little
baby frog.
She came hopping back to her
mother.
Oh, how fast she went!
" Mother ! mother ! " she cried, " I
just saw the biggest thing!
It was all white.
98
It had four white legs.
It had two big white horns on
its head.
Oh, mother, its four legs were
so big!
Its two horns were so long and
so big!
Oh, I am so frightened! It was
such a big thing ! "
"Was it as big as this?" .asked
the mother, and she swelled herself
away out.
"Oh, it was much bigger!" said
the baby frog.
"Was it as big as this?" asked
99
the mother, and she swelled herself
out some more.
" Oh, it was much, much bigger ! "
cried the baby frog.
" Well, was it as big as this ? "
asked the mother, and she swelled
herself out, and — she burst !

BRAVE JACKY-BOY
Jacky-boy lived in a little house
with his father and mother.
"Father," said Jacky-boy one day,
"I am going away to fight the
Indians ! "
" Very well," said his father, " go
and tell your mother."
"Mother," said Jacky-boy, "I am
going away to fight the Indians."
"Very well," said his mother, "but
don't go too far."
Jacky-boy put on his hat and
took his gun from the corner.
101
"Good- by!" he called to his father
and mother, and off he went.
On the road he met Billy-goat.
"Where are you going, Jacky-
boy ? " asked Billy-goat.
"I am going away to fight the
Indians," answered Jacky-boy.
"May I go?" asked Billy-goat.
102
"I am very brave," said Jacky-boy.
" You must be brave, too. What can
you do? How can you light the
Indians ? "
"Oh, I am very brave," answered
Billy-goat. "I can butt the Indians
with my horns, and I can bleat."
"Well, come along, then," said
Jacky-boy, and the two went on
together.
They had not gone very far when
they met Blacky-sheep.
" Where are you going, Jacky-
boy ? " asked Blacky-sheep.
"We are going to fight the
103
Indians," answered brave Jacky-boy.
"May I go with you?" asked
Blacky-sheep.
"We are very brave," said Jacky-
boy. "You must be brave, too."
"Oh, I am very brave," answered
Blacky-sheep.
" How can you fight the Indians ? "
asked Jacky-boy. "Billy-goat can
butt them with his horns, and he
can bleat. What can you do?"
"Oh, I can butt them with my
horns, and I can bleat, too," answered
Blacky-sheep.
"Then come along," said Jacky-boy,
104
and the three went along together.
They had not gone very far when
they met Piggy-wig.
"Where are you going?" asked
Piggy-wig.
"We are going to fight the
Indians," said Jacky-boy.
"May I go?" asked Piggy- wig.
"We are very brave," said Jacky-
boy. "You may go if you are brave,
too. How can you fight the Indians?
Billy-goat and Blacky-sheep can butt
them and bleat. What can you do
to fight them?"
"Oh, I can bite," said Piggy-wig.
105
"I can squeal and bite."
"Well, come along, then," said
Jacky-boy, and the four went on
together.
Just then Teddy-dog came along
the road.
" Where are you four going ? "
asked Teddy-dog.
"We are going to fight the
Indians," answered Jacky-boy.
"May I go with you?" asked
Teddy-dog.
"We are very brave," said Jacky-
boy. "You must be brave, too."
"Oh, I am very brave," said
106
Teddy- dog. "I am not afraid of
anything."
" How can you fight the Indians ? "
asked Jacky-boy. " Billy-goat • and
Blacky- sheep can butt and bleat,
and Piggy-wig can squeal and bite.
Now what can you do ? "
"I can bite, too," answered Teddy-
dog. "I can bite and bark."
"Well, come along, then," said
Jacky-boy, and the live went on
together.
They soon met Pussy-cat walking,
along the road.
"Where are you going?" asked she.
107
" We are going* away to fight the
Indians," answered Jacky-boy.
"May I go, too?" asked Pussy-cat.
"Are you very brave?" asked
Jacky-boy.
"Oh, yes!" said Pussy-cat. "I am
not afraid of anything."
" How can you fight the Indians ? "
108
asked Jacky-boy. "Billy-goat and
Blacky- sheep can butt and bleat,
Piggy-wig can squeal and bite, and
Teddy- dog can bite and bark. Now
what can you do?"
"Oh, I can scratch and mew," said
brave Pussy-cat.
"Well, come along, then," said
Jacky-boy, and the six went on
together.
They had not gone very far when
they met Dicky- duck.
"Where are you going?" asked he.
"We are going away to fight the
Indians," answered Jacky-boy.
109
"May I go, too?" asked Dicky-
duck.
"Are you very brave?" asked
Jacky-boy.
"Oh, yes!" answered Dicky- duck.
"I am not afraid of anything."
"How can you fight the Indians?"
asked brave Jacky-boy. "Billy-goat
and Blacky- sheep can butt and
bleat, Piggy-wig can squeal and
bite, Teddy- dog can bite and bark,
and Pussy-cat can scratch and mew.
Now what can you do?"
"I can scratch and quack," an-
swered Dicky- duck.
110
" Well, come along, then," said
Jacky-boy, and the seven went down
the road together.
Along the road came Ked-hen and
Gray-rooster.
w Where are you going, Jacky-
boy ? " they asked.
"We are going away to fight the
Indians," answered Jacky-boy.
" May we go with you ? " asked
Ked-hen and Gray-rooster.
" Are you very brave ? " asked
brave Jacky-boy.
" Oh, yes ! " answered they. " We
are not afraid of anything!"
Ill
" How can you fight the Indians ? "
asked Jacky-boy. "Billy-goat and
Blacky- sheep can butt and bleat,
Piggy-wig can squeal and bite, Teddy-
dog can bark and bite, Pussy-cat can
mew and scratch, and Dicky- duck
can scratch and quack. Now what
can you do ? "
"I can scratch and cluck," said
Eed-hen.
"And I can scratch and crow,"
said Gray -rooster.
"Very well, then, come along," said
Jacky-boy, and they all went down
the road together. ;
112
By and by they came to some
dark woods.
"The Indians are in here," said
Jacky-boy. "Be ready now to fight!"
Just then Mr. Wolf peeped out
from behind a tree.
" Oh ! " said Billy-goat, " a wolf \ a
wolf ! " and away he ran.
113
w Oh, a wolf ! a wolf ! " cried Blacky-
sheep, and away she ran after Billy-
goat.
"A wolf! a wolf!" cried Piggy-
wig, and away he ran after Billy-
goat and Blacky-sheep.
"A goat! a sheep! a pig!" cried
Mr. Wolf, and away he ran after
the three.
"Well, come along," said Jacky-
boy. "Billy-goat and Blacky-sheep
and Piggy-wig are not very brave,
but we are!" and the rest went on
after Jacky-boy.
Into the dark woods they all went.
114
Just then Mr. Fox peeped out
from behind a tree.
" Oh ! " cried Dicky-duck, " a fox !
a fox!" and away he ran out of the
dark woods.
"Oh, a fox! a fox!" cried Red-
hen, and away she ran after Dicky-
duck.
" A fox ! a fox ! " cried Gray-
rooster, and away he ran after Red-
hen and Dicky-duck.
" A duck ! a hen ! a rooster ! " cried
Mr. Fox, and away he ran out of
the woods, after the three.
" Well, come along," said Jacky-boy.
115
"It seems that Billy-goat and
Blacky-sheep, Piggy-wig and Dicky-
duck, Red-hen and Gray-rooster, are
not very brave. But never mind; we
are!" and Teddy-dog and Pussy-cat
went into the dark woods after brave
Jacky-boy.
116
Oh, how dark the woods were!
Jacky-boy looked first this way
and then that way.
He peeped around one tree and
then another tree.
Teddy-dog and Pussy-cat looked
first this way and then that way.
They peeped around one tree and
then another tree.
"Hark!" said Jacky-boy. "What's
that ? Hark ! don't make a sound ! "
Brave Jacky-boy stood very still
and listened with his head bent.
Brave Teddy-dog stood very still
and listened with his ears up.
117
Brave little Pussy-cat sat very
still and listened and watched with
her bright eyes.
"Hark!" said Jacky-boy again.
"Look over there, behind that old
hollow tree."
Pussy-cat and Teddy-dog looked
quickly over to the old hollow tree.
" Do you see anything over there ? "
asked Jacky-boy.
"No!" said Teddy-dog, "but I
hear something ! "
"I do, too," said Pussy-cat.
"What do you hear?" asked brave
Jacky-boy. " Tell me ! quick ! My gun
• 118
is ready if the Indians are there."
" The Indians are there ! " said
Pussy-cat, "for I hear the sound of
their wings."
" Oh, no ! " said Jacky-boy, " that
cannot be. Indians have no wings.
You hear the sound of their tramp-
ing feet, Pussy-cat."
"That may be," said Pussy-cat,
" but it sounds to me like wings ! "
" Teddy-dog, what do you hear ? "
asked Jacky-boy.
"I hear the sound of voices buzz-
ing in the woods," said Teddy-dog.
" Oh, no ! " said Jacky-boy, " that
119
cannot be. Indians do not buzz. You
hear the sound of their fast-flying*
arrows."
"That may be," said Teddy-dog,
"but it sounds to me like the buzz-
ing of voices."
"We will go on a little farther,"
said Jacky-boy. "Then we shall find
out what it is. Be ready to fight
when you see me point my gun."
They went a little farther into
the woods.
"Oh, I hear something, too!" cried
Jacky-boy, as they came near the
hollow tree. " The Indians are here !
120
Be brave and ready to fight!" Then
Jacky-boy pointed his gun toward
the hollow tree.
Teddy-dog began to bark.
Pussy-cat began to mew.
Out from the hollow tree came a
great black swarm!
"Oh! oh!" cried brave Teddy-dog,
"bees! bees!" and away he ran, as
fast as he could, out of the woods.
"Oh, bees! bees!" cried brave
Pussy-cat, and away she ran, as fast
as she could, after Teddy-dog.
Jacky-boy gave one look toward
the hollow tree.
121
"Bees! bees!" cried brave Jacky-
boy.
He dropped his gun and away he
ran after brave Teddy-dog and brave
Pussy-cat.
Out of the dark woods our brave
Jacky-boy ran toward home as fast
as his little legs could carry him.
