+
+
+--¡Buenos días, amiguita Luisa!
+¿Adónde vas con una muñeca tan
+linda?
+
+--¡Buenos días, abuelito! Voy a ver
+a María.
+
+--¿Porqué no vas a la escuela?
+
+--¡Pero, abuelito! Hoy es día de
+fiesta.
+No tenemos escuela, hoy.
+¿No lo sabía V.?
+María y yo vamos a jugar a las
+muñecas.
+¿Ha visto V. mi muñeca nueva?
+
+--No, no creo haberla visto.
+¿Te ha dado mamá esta muñeca?
+
+--Sí, me la dió el día de mi
+cumpleaños.
+V. sabe que ahora tengo seis años.
+
+--¡Qué muñeca tan bonita!
+¿Dónde está el sombrero de tu muñeca?
+
+--No tiene sombrero, abuelito.
+
+--Tu pobre muñeca va a resfriarse.
+Pídele a tu abuelita que le haga uno.
+Yo sé que ella se lo hará.

+
+           "Good morning, little Louise!
+           Where are you going with such a
+           handsome doll?"
+
+           "Good morning, grandpa! I am going
+           to see Mary."
+
+           "Why aren't you going to school?"
+
+           "Why, grandpa! To-day is a holiday.
+           We do not have school to-day.
+           Didn't you know?
+           Mary and I are going to play with
+           our dolls.
+           Have you seen my new doll?"
+
+           "No, I don't think I have.
+           Did mamma give you that doll?"
+
+           "Yes, she gave it to me on my
+           birthday.
+           You know I am six years old now."
+
+           "What a pretty doll!
+           Where is your doll's hat?"
+
+           "She hasn't any hat, grandpa."
+
+           "Your poor doll will take cold.
+           Ask grandma to make one for her.
+           I know she will."

+chiquita--jabón--muñequitas
+ampollas--recogedor.
+
+
+Mire V. qué coche tan raro tiene mi
+muñeca.
+Estoy en casa de mi abuelo.
+
+Ahora él no tiene niñas chiquitas.
+
+Mamá era su niña chiquita.
+
+Traje a mi muñeca conmigo.
+
+No podía traer el coche de mi muñeca.
+
+Mamá dijo que era demasiado grande.
+
+Mi abuela me buscó un coche.
+
+Ella dijo que el recogedor serviría.
+
+Me parece un coche muy raro.
+
+¡No se caigan, muñequitas mías!
+
+No caerían de muy alto.
+
+Vamos a ver a María.
+
+¡Mire V.! me está buscando.
+
+María y yo vamos a hacer ampollas
+de jabón.
+
+¿Ve V. mi pipa?
+
+La he puesto en la pala.
+
+A mí me gusta hacer ampollas de
+jabón.
+
+¡Son tan bonitas!
+
+
+          car'riage--soap--fall--pipe--blow;
+          dust'pan--bub'bles.--brought.
+
+
+          See what a funny carriage my doll
+          has.
+
+          I am at grandpa's house.
+
+          He hasn't any little girls now.
+
+          Mamma was his little girl.
+
+          I brought my doll with me.
+
+          I couldn't bring my doll's carriage.
+
+          Mamma said it was too big.
+
+          Grandma looked for a carriage for
+          me.
+
+          She said that the dustpan would do.
+
+          I think it's a very funny carriage.
+
+          Don't fall off, dollies!
+
+          They wouldn't fall very far.
+
+          We are going to see Mary.
+
+          See! she is looking for me.
+
+          Mary and I are going to blow soap
+          bubbles.
+
+          Do you see my pipe?
+
+          I put it on the dustpan.
+
+          I like to blow soap bubbles.
+
+          They are so pretty!

+sábado--merienda--ferrocarril
+compañera--violetas--cuchillo.
+
+
+Mamá nos llevó al campo el sábado
+pasado.
+
+Trajimos nuestra merienda en una cesta.
+Dimos un largo paseo en ferro-carril.
+
+Después llegamos a un campo muy
+bonito.
+
+Anita no pudo venir con nosotras.
+
+Ella está enferma.
+
+Ahora no puede ir a ninguna parte.
+
+Anita es mi compañera de juego.
+
+Encontramos unas cuantas violetas
+bonitas.
+
+Había otras flores también.
+
+Me gustan más las violetas.
+
+Encontré una mata de violetas muy
+bonita.
+
+Dije que me gustaría que Anita la
+pudiese ver.
+
+--Y la verá,--dijo mamá.
+
+--Puedes llevársela a su casa.
+
+Ella arrancó la planta con su cuchillo.
+
+Yo la llevé a casa de Anita.
+
+¡Le dió tanto gusto tenerla!
+
+
+          car'ried--vi'o lets--play'mate
+          plant--knife.
+
+
+          Mamma took us to the country last
+          Saturday.
+
+          We carried our lunch in a basket.
+
+          We had a long ride on the cars.
+
+          Then we came to a very pretty field.
+
+          Annie couldn't come with us.
+
+          She is sick.
+
+          She can't go anywhere now.
+
+          Annie is my playmate.
+
+          We found some pretty violets.
+
+          There were other flowers too.
+
+          I like the violets best.
+
+          I found a very pretty violet plant.
+
+          I said I wished Annie could see it.
+
+          "So she shall," said mamma.
+
+          "You can take it to her house."
+
+          She took the plant up with her knife.
+
+          I took it to Annie's house.
+
+          She was so glad to have it!

+
+
+Yo soy un mayito.
+
+Hago mi nido en los prados.
+
+Mira mi hermoso plumaje.
+
+Es blanco y negro.
+
+¿Ve V. a mi compañerita?
+
+Tiene un plumaje oscuro.
+
+A mí me gustan las margaritas y las
+yerbas.
+
+Me balanceo en los jazmines y en
+las zarzas.
+
+Soy tan dichoso y tan alegre.
+
+Vuelo hacia los campos de arroz.
+
+Como todo el arroz que puedo.
+
+Yo creo que el arroz crece para mí.
+
+Cojo insectos, moscas y gusanos.
+
+Y creo que yo podría tener arroz
+también.
+
+En el verano voy al norte.
+
+¡Mayito, mayito! ésta es mi canción.
+
+Buscame en los prados.

+
+
+          I am a bobolink.
+
+          I make my nest in the meadows.
+
+          Look at my fine coat of feathers.
+
+          It is black and white.
+
+          Do you see my little mate?
+
+          She has a dress of dark-colored
+          feathers.
+
+          I like the daisies and the grasses.
+
+          I swing on the jasmines and on the
+          blackberry bushes.
+
+          I am so happy and so gay.
+
+          I fly toward the rice fields.
+
+          I eat all the rice I can.
+
+          I think the rice grows for me.
+
+          I catch bugs, flies, and worms.
+
+          And I think I might have rice too.
+
+          In summer I go north.
+
+          Bobolink, bobolink! this is my song.
+
+          Look for me in the meadows.

+
+
+Hemos estado en los bosques.
+
+¿Ve V. todas nuestras flores?
+
+¿Le gusta a V. nuestro burro?
+
+Se llama Perico.
+
+Perico lleva puestas algunas flores.
+
+Es un burro viejo muy manso.
+
+Le gusta comer cardos.
+
+Encontramos un arroyo muy bonito.
+
+Las lilas crecían cerca del arroyo.
+
+Atravesamos el arroyo sobre piedras.
+
+Merendamos cerca del arroyo.
+
+Jugamos a la gallina ciega en los
+bosques.
+
+¡Cuánto nos divertimos!
+
+Nuestro burro merendó en el campo.
+
+Comió todos los cardos y toda la,
+yerba que pudo.
+
+Enrique nos hizo un columpio.
+
+Lo puso en un castaño grande.
+
+Vamos a coger nueces cuando estén
+maduras.
+
+¿No le gustaría a V. venir con
+nosotros?
+
+
+          don'key--this'tles--brook--li'lacs

+
+
+          We have been in the woods.
+
+          Do you see all our flowers?
+
+          Do you like our donkey?
+
+          His name is Pete.
+
+          Pete is wearing some flowers.
+
+          He is a very gentle old donkey.
+
+          He likes to eat thistles.
+
+          We found a very pretty brook.
+
+          The lilacs were growing near the
+          brook.
+
+          We crossed the brook on stones.
+
+          We had lunch near the brook.
+
+          We played blind man's buff in the
+          woods.
+
+          What fun we had!
+
+          Our donkey had lunch in the field.
+
+          He ate all the thistles and all the
+          grass he could.
+
+          Henry made us a swing.
+
+          He put it on a big chestnut tree.
+
+          We are going nutting when the nuts
+          are ripe.
+
+          Shouldn't you like to come with us?

+
+Mire V. cómo vuelan a sus colmenas.
+

+
+La ponen en sus colmenas.
+
+A María le gusta mirar las abejas.
+
+Le gusta verlas recoger la miel.
+
+No la pican.
+
+A ella le gusta ayudarlas.
+
+María coge una bonita flor.
+
+Se la trae a una abeja.
+
+La abeja vuela hacia la flor.
+
+No la pica.
+
+María observa la abeja recogiendo miel.
+
+Quiere ver cómo lo hace.
+
+Éstas son abejas que hacen miel.

+
+Una abeja sale de un huevo.
+
+Primeramente es un gusano pequeño.
+
+Las abejas lo alimentan de polen.
+
+Recogen el polen de las flores.
+
+El polen parece polvo amarillo.
+
+El gusano se alimenta durante cinco días.
+
+Entonces parece que va a dormir.
+
+Las abejas lo cubren con cera.
+
+Al poco tiempo se despierta.
+
+Sale de su cama de cera.
+
+Es una abeja chiquitina.

+
+          Look at the bees!
+
+          See how they fly to their hives.
+
+          They gather the honey from flowers.
+
+          They put it into their hives.
+
+          Mary likes to watch the bees.
+
+          She likes to see them gather honey.
+
+          They do not sting her.
+
+          She likes to help them.
+
+          Mary picks a pretty flower.
+
+          She takes it to a bee.
+
+          The bee flies toward the flower.
+
+          It does not sting her.
+
+          Mary watches the bee gather honey.
+
+          She wants to see how it does it.
+
+          These are honey bees.

+          A bee comes out of an egg.
+
+          At first it is a little worm.
+
+          The bees feed it on pollen.
+
+          They gather the pollen from flowers.
+
+          Pollen looks like yellow dust.
+
+          The worm is fed for five days.
+
+          Then it seems to go to sleep.
+
+          The bees cover it with wax.
+
+          By and by it wakes up.
+
+          It comes out of its wax bed.
+
+          It is a little baby bee.

+
+
+María jugaba en el jardín un día.
+
+Oyó un zumbido fuerte.
+
+Era demasiado fuerte para una abeja.
+
+Era un colibrí.
+
+María se quedó quieta para mirarlo.
+
+¡Qué bonitas eran sus plumas!
+
+¡Qué aprisa movía las alitas!
+
+Tenía un pico muy largo.
+
+Podía llegar con él al fondo de las
+flores.
+
+El colibrí come miel.
+
+La recoge de las flores.
+
+Es un pájaro muy pequeño.
+
+Tiene un nido de musgo.
+
+El nido contiene dos huevecitos.
+
+¡Qué pequeños deben ser los pajaritos!
+
+María esperaba al colibrí todos los días.
+
+Un día tomó una de las tazas de su
+muñeca.
+
+Puso un poco de azúcar y agua en
+la taza.
+
+Después puso la taza en el jardín.
+
+El colibrí voló hacia la tacita.
+
+Puso su largo pico en la taza.
+
+Le gustó el agua con azúcar.
+
+¡Qué contenta estaba María!
+
+Tenía azúcar para él todos los días.

+
+
+          Mary played in the garden one day.
+
+          She heard a loud humming.
+
+          It was too loud for a bee.
+
+          It was a humming-bird.
+
+          Mary kept still to watch it.
+
+          How pretty its feathers were!
+
+          How fast it moved its little wings!
+
+          It had a very long bill.
+
+          It could reach to the bottom of the
+          flowers with it.
+
+          The humming-bird eats honey.
+
+          It gathers it from the flowers.
+
+          It is a very little bird.
+
+          It has a nest of moss.
+
+          The nest holds two little eggs.
+
+          How tiny the baby birds must be!
+
+          Mary watched for the humming-bird
+          every day.
+
+          One day she took a doll's cup.
+
+          She put a little sugar and water in
+          the cup.
+
+          Then she put the cup in the garden.
+
+          The humming-bird flew to the cup.
+
+          It put its long bill into the cup.
+
+          It liked the water with sugar.
+
+          How pleased Mary was!
+
+          She had sugar for it every day.

+Corro por los árboles todo el verano.
+
+Trabajo con ahínco en el otoño.
+
+Mi roble está cerca de un granero.
+
+En aquel granero hay un caballo manso.
+
+Tiene todos los días maíz para comer.
+
+Él me da un poco de su maíz.
+
+Lleno mis carrillos de maíz.
+
+Después lo traigo a mi nido.
+
+Recojo nueces para el invierno.
+
+En el invierno duermo en el roble.
+
+A veces viene un día de calor.
+
+Entonces me despierto.
+
+Salgo a la claridad del sol.
+
+Después me vuelvo a dormir.
+
+Algún día quizás tú me encuentres
+en mi nido.
+
+Ten la bondad de no quitarme mis
+nueces.
+
+Me costó mucho trabajo conseguirlas.
+
+Yo necesitaré esas nueces en el

+
+          My name is Bunny.
+
+          I live in an oak tree.
+
+          I run among the trees all summer.
+
+          I work hard in the fall.
+
+          My oak tree is near a barn.
+
+          In that barn there is a gentle horse.
+
+          He has corn to eat every day.
+
+          He gives me a little of his corn.
+
+          I fill my cheeks with corn.
+
+          Then I carry it to my nest.
+
+          I gather nuts for the winter.
+
+          In winter I am asleep in the oak
+          tree.
+
+          Sometimes there comes a warm day.
+
+          Then I wake up.
+
+          I come out into the sunshine.
+
+          Then I go back to sleep.
+
+          Some day maybe you will find me in
+          my nest.
+
+          Please do not take away my nuts.
+
+          It was a great deal of work for me
+          to get them.
+
+          I shall need those nuts in the winter.

+
+--Sí, lo dijo. Quiero coger moras.
+
+--¿Cómo nos encontraste?
+
+--Duque me enseñó el camino.
+
+--¿Dónde está él ahora?
+
+--Corrió hacia el bosque.
+Vio allí un conejo pequeño.
+
+--¡Oh, querida mía! Lo asustará.
+
+--Lo llamé, pero no quiso venir.
+¿Tenéis muchas moras en vuestros
+cubos?
+
+--Sí, hemos encontrado algunos
+arbustos grandes.
+
+Catalina encontró un nido monísimo
+en una rama.
+
+Hay cinco huevos en el nido.
+
+Ven, y te lo enseñaremos.
+
+No cojamos moras en ese arbusto.
+
+Asustaríamos a la madre.
+
+Coge tus moras ahora, Gracia.
+
+Luego nos iremos a casa.
+
+--Quiero llenar mi taza para mamá.
+
+Le daré a ella todas mis moras.

+
+          "Yes, she did. I want to pick berries."
+
+          "How did you find us?"
+
+          "Duke showed me the way."
+
+          "Where is he now?"
+
+          "He ran toward the woods.
+           He saw a little rabbit there."
+
+          "Oh, my dear! He will frighten it."
+
+          "I called him, but he wouldn't come.
+          Have you many berries in your
+          pails?"
+
+          "Yes, we found some big bushes."
+
+          Kate found a dear little nest on a
+          branch.
+
+          There are five eggs in the nest.
+
+          Come, and we will show it to you.
+
+          Let's not pick berries on that bush.
+
+          We should frighten the mother.
+
+          Pick your berries now, Grace.
+
+          Then we will go home."
+
+          "I want to get my cup full for
+          mamma.
+
+          I will give her all my berries."

+Un ratoncito vivía en nuestras

+
+Todas las noches salía para jugar.
+
+Venía al cuarto de Sofía.
+
+Le gustaba jugar sobre su escritorio.
+
+Sofía ponía a veces azúcar allí para él.
+
+El ratoncito la encontraba.
+
+Un día mamá lo vio.
+
+Dijo que el gatito debía cogerlo.
+
+Sofía estaba muy triste.
+
+No quería que se lo comiese el gatito.
+
+Habló a papá del ratoncito.
+
+Él le dio una ratonera pequeñita.
+
+Parecía una jaula.
+
+El ratoncito podía vivir en ella.
+
+Puso azúcar en la ratonera.
+
+El ratoncito entró en la ratonera.
+
+Sofía lo mimaba mucho.
+
+Le daba de comer todos los días.
+
+Le daba agua en la tacita de su muñeca.
+
+El ratoncito quiere a Sofía.
+
+Está feliz en su jaula.

+
+
+          A little mouse was living in our
+          walls.
+
+          Every night it came out to play.
+
+          It would come into Sophy's room.
+
+          It liked to play on her desk.
+
+          Sophy would put sugar there for it.
+
+          The little mouse would find it.
+
+          One day mamma saw the mouse.
+
+          She said the kitty ought to catch it.
+
+          Sophy was very sorry.
+
+          She didn't want the kitty to eat it.
+
+          She talked to papa about the mouse.
+
+          He gave her a little bit of a trap.
+
+          It looked like a cage.
+
+          The little mouse could live in it.
+
+          He put sugar in the trap.
+
+          The little mouse went into the trap.
+
+          Sophy made a great pet of it.
+
+          She fed it every day.
+
+          She gave it water in her doll's cup.
+
+          The little mouse loves Sophy.
+
+          It is happy in its cage.

+¡Qué día de Navidad tan feliz tuvo
+Juanita!
+
+Recibió algunos regalos bonitos.
+
+Le dieron tres muñecas grandes.
+
+--Bien, Juanita,--dijo papá,--¿qué
+vas a hacer con tres muñecas?
+
+--Jugaré con ellas,--dijo Juanita.
+
+--Tres muñecas no son demasiado.
+
+¿No le gustaría a V. tener tres niñas,
+papá?
+
+A esto papá no podía responder: No.
+
+El padre de Juanita era médico.
+
+Iba al hospital todos los días.
+
+Un día Juanita fué al hospital con él.
+
+Allí vió a dos niñas.
+
+Tenían que quedarse en cama todo
+el día.
+
+A Juanita le dió mucha lástima.
+
+Cuando volvió a casa, cogió sus
+muñecas.
+
+Vistió dos de ellas con sus trajes más
+bonitos.
+
+Después se las llevó a su padre.
+
+--¿Puedo regalar mis muñecas a las
+niñas?--le preguntó.
+
+--Sí, puedes,--dijo su papá.
+
+Juanita llevó las muñecas a las niñas.
+
+Mira qué contentas están.

+
+          What a happy Christmas Day Jennie
+          had!
+
+          She received some pretty presents.
+
+          They gave her three big dolls.
+
+          "Well, Jennie," said papa, "what are
+          you going to do with three dolls?"
+
+          "I will play with them," said Jennie.
+
+          "Three dolls are not too many.
+
+          Shouldn't you like to have three
+          little girls, papa?"
+
+          Papa couldn't answer "no" to that.
+
+          Jennie's father was a doctor.
+
+          He went to the hospital every day.
+
+          One day Jennie went to the hospital
+          with him.
+
+          She saw two little girls there.
+
+          They had to stay in bed all day.
+
+          Jennie was very sorry about it.
+
+          When she went home, she took her
+          dolls.
+
+          She dressed two of them in their
+          prettiest clothes.
+
+          Then she took them to her father.
+
+          "May I make the little girls a present
+          of my dolls?" she asked him.
+
+          "Yes, you may," said papa.
+
+          Jennie took the dolls to the girls.
+
+          See how pleased they are.
+
+          Jennie was very much pleased too.

+
+Ella dice,--Buenos días, doña
+Florencia.
+
+¿Está V. bien esta mañana?
+
+--No muy bien,--responde ella.
+
+--Pero me alegro de verte.
+
+Un día doña Florencia dió a Elena
+un paquetito.
+
+Era un paquetito de semillas.
+
+--Siémbralas bajo tu ventana,--le
+dijo.
+
+--Antes de mucho tiempo brotarán
+las flores.
+
+Se asomarán y te mirarán.
+
+Yo no puedo ir para decirte: Buenos
+días.
+
+Las flores lo dirán por mí.
+
+A Elena le gustaron mucho las semillas.
+
+Las sembró debajo de su ventana.
+
+Pronto salieron las hojas.
+
+A los pocos días brotaron las flores.
+
+Elena cogió algunas para la anciana.
+
+--Yo digo buenos días una vez

+
+
+          Helen is a dear little girl.
+
+          She likes to make the other people
+          happy.
+
+          A poor old lady lives near her.
+
+          Helen goes to see her.
+
+          She says "Good morning, Mrs. Florence.
+          Are you well this morning?"
+
+          "Not very well," she answers.
+
+          "But I am glad to see you."
+
+          One day Mrs. Florence gave Helen a
+          little package.
+
+          It was a little package of seeds.
+
+          "Sow them under your window," she
+          told her.
+
+          "Before long the blossoms will come
+          out.
+
+          They will peep in at you.
+
+          I cannot come to say good morning
+          to you.
+
+          The blossoms will say it for me."
+
+          Helen liked the seeds very much.
+
+          She sowed them underneath her
+          Window.
+
+          Soon the leaves came out.
+
+          In a few days the flowers came.
+
+          Helen picked some for the old lady.
+
+          "I say good morning only once," said
+          Helen.
+
+          "Your flowers say it over and over."

+
+Ella tomaba una cesta de migajas
+de pan.
+
+Llevaba las migajas a la ventana.
+
+--¡Venid, pajaritos!--decía.
+
+--Mirad lo que tengo para vosotros.
+
+Entonces los pájaros volaban a la
+ventana.
+
+Elena les echaba las migajas para que
+ellos comiesen.
+
+--Aquí hay todo un almuerzo para
+vosotros, pajaritos.
+
+Los pájaros aprendieron a conocer a
+Elena.
+
+Volaban muy cerca de ella.
+
+Elena les daba de comer.
+
+Aprendió los nombres de todos los
+pájaros.
+
+--¡Buenos días, sinsonte!--decía ella.
+
+--Y aquí hay un tordo.
+
+Quiero ver tus huevos, sinsonte.
+
+Son muy bonitos tus huevos.

+El mayito hace su nido en los prados.

+
+          They sang for her as soon as it was
+          light.
+
+          She used to get a basket of bread
+          crumbs.
+
+          She took the crumbs to the window.
+
+          "Come, birdies!" she said.
+
+          "Look what I have for you."
+
+          Then the birds flew to the window.
+
+          Helen threw them the crumbs to eat.
+
+          "Here is a whole breakfast for you,
+          birdies."
+
+          The birds learned to know Helen.
+
+          They would fly very near her.
+
+          Helen would feed them.
+
+          She learned the names of all the
+          birds.
+
+          "Good morning, mocking-bird!" she
+          would say.
+
+          "And here is a thrush".
+
+          I want to see your eggs, mocking-bird.
+
+          Your eggs are very pretty.
+
+          The bobolink makes his nest in the
+          fields.
+
+          I can look into the nest.
+
+          I go to the fields to see him.
+
+          He never comes to see me...

+El padre de Gilberto vivía lejos en el

+
+Un día llevó a Gilberto a ver a los
+indios.
+
+Una india tenía un bebé.
+
+Una india se llama una _squaw_.
+
+Un bebé indio se llama un _papoose_.
+
+El _papoose_ estaba atado a una tabla
+que colgaba de un árbol.
+
+Miró a Gilberto con sus ojos vivos.
+
+--¡Qué bonito es!--dijo Gilberto.
+
+La _squaw_ dejó a Gilberto que lo cogiese,
+
+--Mi pequeño _papoose_,--dijo ella.
+
+--Me gustaría que mamá lo viese,--dijo
+Gilberto.
+
+--¿Puedo llevárselo a mamá?
+
+--No, no te lleves mi _papoose_,--dijo
+la _squaw_.
+
+Gilberto le dió el _papoose_.
+
+Volvió a ponerlo en el árbol.
+
+¡Qué sitio tan raro para un niño!
+
+El viento puede mecerlo.
+
+Los pájaros pueden cantarle.
+
+¿Cree V. que le gustaría a su hermanita?

+
+
+          Gilbert's father lived far off in the
+          West.
+
+          One day he took Gilbert to see the
+          Indians.
+
+          One Indian woman had a baby.
+
+          An Indian woman is called a squaw.
+
+          An Indian baby is called a papoose.
+
+          The papoose was tied to a board
+          hanging on a tree.
+
+          It looked at him with its bright eyes.
+
+          "How pretty it is!" said Gilbert.
+
+          The squaw let Gilbert hold it.
+
+          "My little papoose," said she.
+
+          "I should like to have mamma see
+          it," said Gilbert.
+
+          "May I take it to mamma?"
+
+          "No, don't carry off my papoose,"
+          said the squaw.
+
+          Gilbert gave her the papoose.
+
+          She put it back on the tree.
+
+          What a funny place for a baby!
+
+          The wind can rock it.
+
+          The birds can sing to it.
+
+          Do you think your little sister would
+          like it?

+
+
+Gilberto vió a un muchacho indio.
+
+Estaba cuidando una jaca.
+
+Gilberto empezó a hablar con él.
+
+No podían hablar muy bien.
+
+El indio le enseñó su _wigwam_.
+
+Un _wigwam_ es la casa de un indio.
+
+Es una casita hecha de pieles.
+
+El indio dejó a Gilberto entrar en
+su casa.
+
+Le dio un arco y flechas.
+
+Los indios saben tirar muy bien.
+
+Él enseñó a Gilberto a tirar la flecha.
+
+Gilberto le dió algunas canicas muy
+bonitas.
+
+Le enseñó a jugar a las canicas.
+
+El indio puso una canica en el árbol.
+
+Podía tumbarla con su flecha.
+
+Gilberto no podía hacer lo mismo.
+
+Su flecha se clavó en el árbol.

+
+
+          Gilbert saw an Indian boy.
+
+          He was taking care of a pony.
+
+          Gilbert began to talk with him.
+
+          They couldn't talk very well.
+
+          The Indian showed him his wigwam.
+
+          A wigwam is an Indian's house.
+
+          It is a little house made of skins.
+
+          The Indian let Gilbert go into his
+          house.
+
+          He gave him a bow and arrows.
+
+          Indians can shoot very well.
+
+          He taught Gilbert to shoot an arrow.
+
+          Gilbert gave him some very pretty
+          marbles.
+
+          He showed him how to play marbles.
+
+          The Indian put a marble on the tree.
+
+          He could shoot it off with his arrow.
+
+          Gilbert could not do the same.
+
+          His arrow stuck in the tree.

+
+Los lirios acuáticos crecían en el agua.
+
+--¿Quieren Vds. algunos lirios?--preguntó
+Juan.
+
+--¡Oh sí!--respondieron todas.
+
+Juan remó hacia donde estaban los lirios.
+
+--¡Qué bonitos lirios blancos!--dijo
+Lucía.
+
+--Tengo que llevarlos a casa conmigo.
+Cogió cuantos pudo.
+
+Catalina tenía su falda llena de lirios.
+
+--¡Qué bonitos son!--dijo ella.
+
+--Las hojas son bonitas.
+
+En el lago había peces.

+
+          He took mamma, Lucy, and Kate for
+          a row.
+
+          The water-lilies were growing in the
+          water.
+
+          "Do you want some lilies?" asked
+          John.
+
+          "O yes!" they all answered.
+
+          John rowed toward where the lilies
+          were.
+
+          "What pretty white lilies!" said Lucy.
+
+          "I must take them home with me."
+
+          She picked as many as she could.
+
+          Kate had her lap full of lilies.
+
+          "How pretty they are!" said she.
+
+          "The leaves are pretty."
+
+          In the lake there were fishes.

+
+Parecían botones de cardos.
+

+

+
+Vivían en una casa vieja y parda.
+
+Huían de las olas.
+
+Ellos chapaleaban en el agua.
+
+Les gustaba mirar el fondo del charco.
+
+Un día vieron una linda estrella de mar.
+
+La estrella tenía cinco brazos.
+
+Estos brazos se movían.
+
+Tenían pequeños tentáculos.
+
+Estos tentáculos la ayudaban a moverse.
+
+La boca estaba en el centro de la

+
+          Seaweeds grew in the pool.
+
+          There were pretty sea urchins there.
+
+          They looked like thistle buds.
+
+          Two children played on the rock.
+
+          Their father was a fisherman.
+
+          They lived in an old brown house.
+
+          They ran away from the waves.
+
+          They paddled in the water.
+
+          They liked to look down in the pool.
+
+          One day they saw a pretty starfish.
+
+          The starfish had five arms.
+
+          These arms moved.
+
+          They had little feelers.
+
+          These feelers helped it to move about.
+
+          The mouth was in the middle of the
+          starfish.
+
+          Look at the starfish in the picture.

+          I want to use a bit of this bright
+          yellow silk.
+
+          My nest shall be hung for the breeze
+          to swing.
+
+          I will sit on the tree and sing gayly.
+
+          The mother and the little ones will
+          sleep sweetly.
+
+          Meanwhile I will take good care of
+          my dear birds.
+
+          Look where my nest is, when you
+          pass by the tree.
+
+          You will surely see the soft yellow
+          silk.
+
+          Then you will know it is mine, even
+          if you do not see me.

+
+Ella y Enrique se fueron a jugar.
+
+Un ganso viejo se paseaba por el patio.
+
+Vió el vestido color de rosa a través
+de la palizada.
+
+El ganso viejo quería aquel vestido
+color de rosa.
+
+Metió su cabeza por entre la valla.
+
+Cogió el vestido con su pico grande.
+
+La pobra Pepita tenía miedo.
+
+--¡Oh Enrique, ven!--dijo ella.
+
+--Aquí hay un grandísimo pájaro.
+Quiere mi vestido nuevo.
+
+Enrique cogió un buen palo.
+
+Y dijo: ¡Suéltala, pájaro malvado!
+Tú no puedes llevarte el vestido de
+Pepita.
+
+El viejo ganso soltó el vestido.
+
+Salió corriendo del patio.
+
+Pepita se alegró de verlo huir.

+

+
+          He saw the pink dress through the
+          fence.
+
+          The gander wanted that pink dress.
+
+          He put his head through the fence.
+
+          He caught the dress in his big bill.
+
+          Poor Josie was afraid.
+
+          "O Henry, come!" said she.
+
+          "Here is a great big bird.
+          He wants my new dress."
+
+          Henry got a good big stick.
+
+          And he said, "Let her go, you naughty
+          bird!
+          You can't have Josie's dress."
+
+          The old gander let go of the dress.
+
+          He went running out of the yard.
+
+          Josie was glad to see him run away.
+
+          She said "Thank you" to Henry.

+
+
+Diego puso un huevo de pato en un

+
+Un patico se crió con los pollos.
+
+¡Qué gracioso era el patico!
+
+Los pollos corrían por todos lados
+y escarbaban la tierra buscando
+gusanos.
+
+El patico no podía escarbar tan bien.
+
+Tenía las patas palmeadas.
+
+Estaban hechas para nadar.
+
+Él quería agua para nadar.
+
+Un día Enriqueta lo encontró.
+
+Lo cogió en sus manos.
+
+--¿Qué tienes, pobre patico?
+
+--¡Pip, pip!--dijo el patico.
+
+--¿Quieres nadar?--dijo Enriqueta.
+
+--¡Pip, pip! Sí, que quiero.
+
+--Tendrás agua.
+
+Enriqueta fué corriendo a casa.
+
+Trajo agua en una palangana.
+
+Puso la palangana en el zacate.
+
+El patico corrió hacia la palangana.
+
+Le gustaba estar en el agua.
+
+La gallina vieja dijo,--¡Clo, clo!
+
+Vas a ahogarte, patico malvado.
+
+Los pollos corrieron hacia la palangana.
+
+Bebieron el agua; pero no podían
+nadar.
+
+La gallina tenía miedo de que se
+ahogasen.
+
+--¡Clo, clo!--dijo ella.
+
+--Aquí está un gusano gordo.
+
+Entonces los pollos corrieron hacia ella.
+
+El patico se quedó y nadó.
+
+Le hubiera gustado que pudiesen nadar
+los pollos también.
+

+
+
+          James put a duck's egg into a hen's nest.
+
+          A duckling hatched out with the
+          chickens.
+
+          How funny the duckling was!
+
+          The chickens ran every way and
+          scratched for worms.
+
+          The duckling could not scratch so well.
+
+          It had web feet.
+
+          They were made for swimming.
+
+          It wanted water to swim in.
+
+          One day Hattie found it.
+
+          She took it up in her hands.
+
+          "What is the matter, poor ducky?"
+
+          "Peep, peep!" said the duckling.
+
+          "Do you want to swim?" said Hattie.
+
+          "Peep, peep! Yes, I do."
+
+          "You shall have some water."
+
+          Hattie went running to the house.
+
+          She brought some water in a pan.
+
+          She set the pan on the grass.
+
+          The duckling ran to the pan.
+
+          It liked to be in the water.
+
+          The old hen said, "Cluck, cluck!
+
+          You will be drowned, you naughty
+          ducky."
+
+          The chickens ran to the pan.
+
+          They drank the water; but they
+          could not swim.
+
+          The hen was afraid that they would
+          drown.
+
+          "Cluck, cluck!" said she.
+
+          "Here is a big worm."
+
+          Then the chickens ran to her.
+
+          The duckling stayed and swam.
+
+          It would have liked it if the chickens
+          could swim too.
+
+          All swimming birds have web feet.
+
+          Some birds wade in the water.

+--¿Adonde vais?--dijo Roberto.
+
+--¿Os apaga el viento?
+
+Creo que sois faroles de hadas.
+
+Preguntaré a mamá lo que sois.
+

+No lucen siempre.

+Hazme el favor de venir y decirme

+
+          They looked like little stars.
+
+          "I must catch one of those stars,"
+          said he.
+
+          The lights did not keep still.
+
+          Sometimes they did not shine.
+
+          "Where do you go?" said Robert.
+
+          "Does the wind blow you out?
+
+          I think you are fairy lanterns.
+
+          I will ask mamma what you are."
+
+          Then he ran to his house.
+
+          "Mamma, the field is full of little
+          stars.
+          They do not always shine.
+          Please come and tell me what they
+          are."
+
+          "They are fireflies, Robert," said his
+          mamma.
+
+          "I will try to catch one for you."
+
+          She caught one and put it in Robert's
+          hand.
+
+          "Where are its wings?" said Robert.
+
+          "This is the mother of the fireflies,"
+          said mamma.
+
+          "Its wings are very small.

+          The flowers wake up when I touch them.
+
+          In the morning I wake the birds.
+
+          Their home is in the tree-tops.
+
+          When they see me they begin to
+          sing.
+
+          I open the lilies on the lake.
+
+          I bring the lily buds up from under
+          water.
+
+         When I touch the seeds the plants

+          This path is called a rainbow.

+--Sí, sí, mira mi centavo.
+
+¿Qué crees que tenía?
+
+Tenía un botón.
+
+Iba a comprar dulces con un botón.
+
+¿No era graciosa la chiquitina?
+
+Creo que el viejo le habría dado

+
+Es un hombre muy bueno.

+
+
+          What do you think our baby did?
+
+          There is an old man who sells candy.
+
+          One day we took baby there.
+
+          We let her buy some candy.
+
+          She gave the old man a cent and he
+          gave her some candy.
+
+          The other day we found her in the street.
+
+          She had put on her cap and cloak.
+
+          She had her doll in one hand.
+
+          "Why, baby! where are you going?" said I.
+
+          "To buy candy!" the baby answered.
+
+          "Why do you take the doll?"
+
+          "The doll wants candy too."
+
+          "You cannot buy candy, dear.
+          You haven't any cent."
+
+          "Yes, yes, see my cent."
+
+          What do you think she had?
+
+          She had a button.
+
+          She was going to buy candy with a button.
+
+          Wasn't baby funny?
+
+          I think the old man would have given
+          her some candy.
+
+          He is a very kind man.

+
+--Algún día aprenderás,--dijo mamá.

+
+--¿Abuelita, quieres enseñarme a

+

+
+Pasados algunos días llegó el del santo.
+
+Ana hizo el deseado pastel.
+
+Lo llevó a su papá.
+
+Lo puso cerca de su plato.
+
+--¡Vaya! ¿qué es esto?--dijo papá.
+
+--Un pastel para el día de tu santo.
+
+--¿Quién me ha hecho este pastel?
+
+--Yo lo he hecho,--dijo Ana;--mi

+
+--¡Es posible! ¿has hecho tú este

+
+          "You shall make him a birthday cake.

+
+          Anna did her best to learn.
+
+          In a few days the birthday came.
+
+          Anna made the cake as she wished.
+
+          She took it to papa.
+
+          She set it near his plate.
+
+          "Well! what is this?" said papa.
+
+          "A birthday cake for you."
+
+          "Who made this cake for me?"
+

+
+          You are a dear girl!

+          said Helen.
+

+          to buy candy.
+
+          Papa had given her ten cents.
+
+          "I can buy lots of candy with ten

+
+          "I wish Marion could eat some candy.
+
+          She has been sick a long time.
+
+          Perhaps I shall find something to give
+          her."
+
+          In front of the candy shop there was
+          a cart.
+
+          In the cart there were plants.
+
+          "Buy a plant, little girl," said the

+
+          "Here is a pretty plant for ten

+
+          "Marion would like to have a plant,"

+
+          "She could see it grow.
+
+          I think I will buy her one.
+
+          Please give me one that has buds.
+
+          I want to give it to a sick girl."
+
+          She took the plant and ran to see
+          Marion.
+
+          "See what I have brought you," said
+          she.
+
+          "O, how pretty it is! Thank you very

+
+
+La Señora Pata dió una tertulia.
+
+Todos los patos del corral estaban allí.
+
+Se fueron todos a nadar en el río.
+
+Hallaron un sitio tranquilo.
+
+--Comeremos nuestra merienda aquí,--dijo
+la Señora Pata.
+
+--Aquí hay muchos insectos.
+
+Es un sitio muy a propósito para

+
+Y se tiró de cabeza al agua.
+
+Y al agua se tiraron también los
+otros patos.
+
+Y luego subieron de nuevo.
+
+Los patos tienen el pico grande y plano.
+
+Llenan sus picos de lodo.
+
+En el lodo hay insectos.
+
+¡Cómo se divierten los patos!
+
+Algunas ranas viejas estaban sentadas
+cerca de los lirios.
+
+Miraban a los patos nadando por los
+alrededores.
+
+--¡Qué extraños son los patos!
+--dijeron ellas.
+
+--¿Cómo está V., Señora Pata?--dijo
+una de las ranas.
+
+--¿Vive V. siempre en el agua?
+
+--No, de ninguna manera,--dijo la
+Señora Pata.
+
+--Nuestra casa está en la hacienda.
+Tenemos una casa como la gente.
+
+--¡Vaya! ¡vaya! ¿porqué les hacen

+
+A nosotras no nos hacen casa.
+
+--Nosotras ponemos huevos para la

+
+          All the ducks in the yard were there.
+
+          They all went swimming in the river.
+
+          They found a quiet place.
+
+          "We will have our lunch here," said
+          Mrs. Duck.
+
+          "There are a great many insects
+          here.
+          It is a first-rate place to find food."
+
+          And she plunged into the water head
+          first.
+
+          And into the water plunged the other
+          ducks too.
+
+          And then they came up again.
+
+          Ducks have large flat beaks.
+
+          They fill their beaks with mud.
+
+          In the mud there are insects.
+
+          What a good time ducks have!
+
+          Some old frogs were sitting near
+          the lilies.
+
+          They looked at the ducks swimming
+          all around.
+
+          "How queer ducks are!" they said.
+
+          "How are you, Mrs. Duck?" said one
+          of the frogs.
+
+          "Do you live in the water all the
+          time?"
+
+          "No indeed," said Mrs. Duck.
+
+          "Our home is at the farm.
+          We have a house like people."
+
+          "Well! well! why do they make you
+          a house?
+
+          They don't make a house for us."
+
+          "We lay eggs for the people," said
+          Mrs. Duck.
+
+          "And so do we lay eggs," said the
+          frog.
+
+          "You lay your eggs in the water.
+          People do not like your eggs.
+          Our eggs are big and good to eat."

+
+Mandó a varias personas a la ciudad.

+
+Corrían siempre por el campo.

+Veían muchas cosas maravillosas.
+
+--¡Qué hermoso mundo es éste!--decían

+
+--No sabíamos antes que fuese tan

+
+--No volverán a la casa de huérfanos,--dijo

+
+--Se quedarán a vivir con nosotros.

+Jaime y Dolores estaban muy contentos.
+
+La madre de Federico le había dicho que
+algunos gusanos se volvían mariposas.
+
+Él quería ver a uno transformarse
+en mariposa.
+
+Un día cogió un gusano en el jardín.
+
+Lo trajo sobre una hoja a su mamá.
+
+Ella le dio una cajita para guardarlo.
+
+Federico le daba a comer hojas frescas
+todos los días.
+
+Poco después el gusano cesó de comer.
+
+Federico creyó que se moriría.
+
+Su mamá le dijo: No, Federico, va
+a dormir.
+
+Cuando se despierte será una mariposa.
+
+El gusano hiló un tejido alrededor
+de su cuerpo.
+
+Estaba pegado a un lado de la caja.
+
+--Se ha muerto, mamá,--dijo Federico.
+
+--No se mueve ni come.
+
+--No se ha muerto,--dijo mamá.
+
+Un día Federico miró la caja.
+
+Vió un insecto de forma extraña.
+
+Sus alas no eran bonitas ni brillantes.
+
+Llamó a su madre para que lo viera.
+
+--Es tu mariposa,--dijo mamá.
+
+---¡Qué extraña y fea es!--dijo
+Federico.
+
+--Yo creía que sería más bonita.
+
+A los pocos momentos empezó a
+moverse y desplegó las alas.
+
+Los colores se volvieron más brillantes.
+
+--¡Oh, qué hermosa!--dijo Federico.
+
+Desplegó sus alas y voló a la ventana.
+
+Federico abrió la ventana y la dejó
+escaparse.
+
+--Ves tú cómo no se había muerto,--dijo
+mamá.
+
+--La mariposa había estado allí siempre.

+          James and Dolores were poor children.
+
+          They had never seen the country.
+
+          They lived in an orphan asylum.
+
+          They hoped to go to the country some
+          day.
+
+          Mr. Blas was a rich farmer who had
+          a very pleasant home.
+
+          He wished to see children in it.
+
+          He sent to several people in the city.
+
+          He asked them to send him two
+          poor children.
+
+          They sent him James and Dolores.
+
+          How happy the children were!
+
+          They were always running in the fields.
+
+          They picked fruits and flowers.
+
+          They heard the birds sing.
+
+          They could help Mr. and Mrs. Blas
+          in many ways.
+
+          James learned to milk the cows.
+
+          Dolores learned to skim the milk.
+
+          James could rake the hay.
+
+          Dolores could rake the hay too.
+
+          The children rode on the hay cart.
+
+          Mr. Blas let them drive the horses.
+
+          They enjoyed taking drives about the
+          country very much.
+
+          They saw many wonderful things.
+
+          "What a beautiful world this is!"
+          they said.
+
+          "We didn't know before that it was
+          so beautiful."
+
+          "They shall not go back to the asylum,"
+          said Mrs. Blas.
+
+          "They shall stay to live with us."
+
+          James and Dolores were very glad.
+
+          Fred's mother had told him that
+          some worms turn to butterflies.
+
+          He wanted to see one change to a
+          butterfly.
+
+          One day he got a worm in the garden.
+
+          He carried it to his mamma on a leaf.
+
+          She gave him a box to keep it in.
+
+          Fred gave it fresh leaves to eat every
+          day.
+
+          Pretty soon the worm stopped eating.
+
+          Fred thought it would die.
+
+          His mamma told him, "No, Fred, it
+          is going to sleep.
+
+          When it wakes up it will be a
+          butterfly."
+
+          The worm spun a web round its body.
+
+          It was stuck to one side of the box.
+
+          "It is dead, mamma," said Fred.
+
+          "It does not move nor eat."
+
+          "It is not dead," said mamma.
+
+          One day Fred looked at the box.
+
+          He saw a strange-looking insect.
+
+          Its wings were not pretty or bright.
+
+          He called his mother to see it.
+
+          "It is your butterfly," said mamma.
+
+          "How queer and ugly it is!" said Fred.
+
+          "I thought it would be prettier."
+
+          In a few moments it began to move,
+          and spread out its wings.
+
+          The colors turned brighter.
+
+          "O, how beautiful!" said Fred.
+
+          It spread its wings and flew to the
+          window.
+
+          Fred opened the window and let it
+          fly out.
+
+          "You see it wasn't dead," said mamma.
+
+          "The butterfly had been there all
+          the time."

+
+--Te escribiré una carta,--contestó

+--Te diré lo que estemos haciendo.
+
+--¿Sabes escribir una carta?--dijo

+
+--¡Oh! sí, la puedo escribir,--dijo
+Inés.
+
+--Ya tengo siete años.
+
+Verás que puedo escribir una carta.
+
+Inés se divirtió mucho.
+
+Un día dijo ella:--Abuelita, ¿puedo
+tomar una pluma?
+
+Quiero escribir a papá.
+
+--Sí,--dijo su abuela,--en el
+escritorio hay plumas.
+
+Inés corrió al escritorio de su abuelo.
+
+--¡Oh abuelita! aquí hay una pluma
+muy rara.
+
+--Ésta es una pluma de ave,--dijo
+la abuela.
+
+--Tu abuelo la cortó para mí.
+Es una pluma de ganso.
+
+En tiempos pasados todo el mundo
+escribía con plumas de ave.
+
+--Me parece muy bonita,--dijo Inés.
+
+--No creo que pueda escribir con ella.
+
+Tomó otra pluma y se fué.
+
+Al poco tiempo volvió al escritorio.
+
+¿Qué vió allí?
+
+La chiquitina había tomado la pluma
+de ave.
+
+Había escrito con ella a su papá.
+
+¡Y qué carta había escrito!
+
+Había derramado la tinta sobre el
+escritorio.
+
+--¡Oh chiquitina, chiquitina! ¿porqué
+has hecho esto?
+
+Mamá envió la carta de la chiquitina
+a su papá.

+
+
+MI QUERIDO PAPÁ:
+
+Nos estamos divertiendo mucho. Mi
+abuelito tiene un gran caballo oscuro. Algunas
+veces me monta en el caballo. ¡Es tan divertido!
+Juego mucho en el campo. Mi abuelito me deja
+pasear sobre los montones de yerba. Cojo moras
+para mi abuelita. Nos dan queso con el café.
+Quisiera que estuvieses aquí con nosotros. La
+chiquitina te ha escrito una carta. Cogió la
+pluma de ave de nuestra abuela, y derramó la
+tinta. ¿Puedes leer su carta? Dice que ha
+escrito: ¿Cómo estás, papá? Te quiero mucho.

+
+          Mamma, Agnes, and baby went to
+          visit grandpa.
+
+          Poor papa could not go.
+
+          He had to stay at home.
+
+          "What shall I do without you?" said he.
+
+          "I will write you a letter," Agnes
+          answered.
+
+          "I will tell you what we are doing."
+
+          "Can you write a letter?" said
+          papa.
+
+          "O yes, I can," said Agnes.
+
+          "I am seven now.
+
+          You shall see that I can write a
+          letter."
+
+          Agnes had a very good time.
+
+          One day she said, "Grandma, may I
+          take a pen?
+
+          I want to write to papa."
+
+          "Yes," said grandma, "there are pens
+          on the desk."
+
+          Agnes ran to grandpa's desk.
+
+          "O grandma! here is such a funny
+          pen!"
+
+          "That is a quill pen," said her
+          grandma.
+
+          "Grandpa made it for me.
+
+          It is a goose quill.
+
+          In old times everybody used to write
+          with quill pens."
+
+          "I think it is very pretty," said
+          Agnes.
+
+          "I don't think I can write with it."
+
+          She took another pen and went off.
+
+          In a little while she went back to
+          the desk.
+
+          What did she see there?
+
+          Baby had taken the quill pen.
+
+          She had been writing to papa with it.
+
+          And what a letter she had written!
+
+          She had spilled the ink over the
+          desk.
+
+          "O baby, baby! what did you do
+          that for?"
+
+          Mamma sent baby's letter to papa.
+
+          He said he was glad to get both
+          Letters.

+
+
+          SITIO GRANDE, JULY 8, 1917.
+
+          DEAR PAPA:
+
+          We are having a very good time.
+          Grandpa has a big bay horse. Sometimes he
+          puts me on the horse's back. It is such fun!
+          I play in the field a great deal. Grandpa lets
+          me walk on the haycocks. I pick berries for
+          grandma. They give us cheese with our coffee.
+          I wish you were here with us. Baby has written
+          you a letter. She took grandma's quill pen,
+          and she spilled the ink. Can you read her
+          letter? She says she wrote "How are you,
+          papa? I love you a great deal."
+
+          Your little girl,
+
+          AGNES.

+
+
+Una niña pobre fué a la escuela con
+Consuelo.
+
+Su vestido era muy viejo.
+
+Su madre no le podía comprar otro
+vestido.
+
+Consuelo se había puesto un nuevo
+delantal blanco.
+
+Se lo puso para ir a la escuela un día.
+
+La pobre Juana la miró.
+
+Hubiera querido tener un delantal
+como aquél.
+
+Cuando Consuelo volvió a casa, se fué
+adonde estaba su mamá.
+
+Y le dijo: Mamá, ¿puedo dar mi
+delantal a Juana?
+
+Su vestido es muy viejo y pobre.
+
+Es una niña tan buena.
+
+Permíteme darle mi delantal.
+
+Su mamá dijo: Sí, puedes dárselo, si
+quieres.
+
+Consuelo dijo a Juana que fuera a
+su casa con ella.
+
+Le regaló el delantal blanco.
+
+La mamá de Consuelo se lo puso a
+Juana.
+
+La pequeña Juana estaba muy contenta.
+
+--Muchas gracias, Consuelo,--dijo
+ella.
+
+--Cubrirá mi vestido viejo.
+
+Nunca me he puesto un delantal tan
+bonito.
+
+Juana se puso el delantal para ir a
+la escuela.
+
+A Consuelo le gustaba verla usándolo.
+
+--No me parecía tan bonito cuando
+yo lo usaba,--se dijo.
+
+--Ahora puedo mirarlo tanto como
+quiera.
+
+Nunca se arrepintió de habérselo
+dado.
+
+
+          wore--a'pron--Consue'lo.
+
+
+          A poor girl went to school with
+          Consuelo.
+
+          Her dress was very old.
+
+          Her mother could not buy her another
+          dress.
+
+          Consuelo had put on a new white
+          apron.
+
+          She put it on to go to school one
+          day.
+
+          Poor Jane looked at her.
+
+          She wished she had an apron like that.
+
+          When Consuelo got home, she went
+          where mamma was.
+
+          And she said to her, "Mamma, may
+          I give Jane my apron?
+
+          Her dress is very old and poor.
+
+          She is such a good girl.
+
+          Let me give her my apron."
+
+          Her mamma said, "Yes, you may if
+          you want to."
+
+          Consuelo told Jane to come home
+          with her.
+
+          She gave her the white apron.
+
+          Consuelo's mamma put it on Jane.
+
+          Little Jane was very happy.
+
+          "Thank you very much, Consuelo,"
+          said she.
+
+          "It will cover up my old dress.
+
+          I never had on such a pretty apron."
+
+          Jane wore the apron to school.
+
+          Consuelo liked to see her using it.
+
+          "It did not look so pretty to me when
+          I wore it," she said to herself.
+
+          "Now I can look at it as much as I
+          want to."
+
+          She was never sorry she had given
+          it to Jane.

+
+          We take water into our mouths.
+
+          The water passes over our gills.
+
+          That is how we breathe.
+
+          When they take us out of the water
+          we die.
+
+          We cannot breathe air without water.
+
+          I am very sorry for you, little girl.
+
+          I wish you could live in the water.
+
+          There are many beautiful things to see."
+
+          "I am glad I am a girl.
+
+          I know there are beautiful things in
+          the water.
+
+          I like to look down into the brooks.

+
+Un día Carlos vió a un marinero viejo
+sentado debajo de una palma.
+
+El marinero tenía una cotorra.
+
+Carlos nunca había visto cotorras.
+
+La vió trepar sobre el marinero viejo.
+
+Una cotorra trepa con su pico al mismo
+tiempo que lo hace con sus patas.
+
+--¿Cómo está V.?--dijo la cotorra.
+
+A Carlos le sorprendió mucho oir
+hablar a un pájaro.
+
+--¿ Quién es V.?--dijo la cotorra.
+
+Carlos le dijo su nombre.
+
+Al marinero viejo esto le hizo reir.
+
+--¿Quiere V. venderme esa cotorra?
+--preguntó Carlos.
+
+--La venderé por ocho pesos,--dijo
+el marinero.
+
+Carlos corrió hacia su padre con la
+cotorra.
+
+--Aquí está un pájaro que habla,
+--dijo él.
+
+--Hágame el favor de comprármelo,
+papá.
+
+--Yo soy un pájaro hermoso,--dijo
+la cotorra,--déme azúcar.
+
+Al padre de Carlos le pareció el pájaro
+muy bien enseñado.

+Lo compró para su niño.

+          His father had a stock farm.
+
+          Beautiful banana trees grew around
+          the house.
+
+          Charles's father had many horses, oxen,
+          and hogs.
+
+          One day Charles saw an old sailor
+          sitting under a palm tree.
+
+          The sailor had a parrakeet.
+
+          Charles had never seen parrakeets.
+
+          He saw it climb over the old sailor.
+
+          A parrakeet climbs with its bill at
+          the same time as with its feet.
+
+          "How do you do?" said the parrakeet.
+
+          Charles was much surprised to hear
+          a bird talk.
+
+          "Who are you?" said the parrakeet.
+
+          Charles told it his name.
+
+          This made the old sailor laugh.
+
+          "Would you sell me that parrakeet?"
+          asked Charles.
+
+          "I will sell it for eight dollars," said
+          the sailor.
+
+          Charles ran to his father with the
+          parrakeet.
+
+          "Here is a bird that talks," said he.
+
+          "Please buy it for me, papa."
+
+          "I'm a pretty bird," said the parrakeet;
+          "give me some sugar."
+
+          Charles's father thought the bird was
+          very well trained.
+
+          He bought it for his boy.

+          The parrakeet was his favorite pet.

+
+          The web begins to look like a wheel.
+
+          See her carry the thread around the
+          others.
+
+          Now her web is done.
+
+          She will settle in the center of the
+          web.
+
+          Some insect will fall into her net.
+
+          And it will be caught in it."

+
+
+En el mar se encuentran cosas
+maravillosas.
+
+En los arrecifes yacen hermosas
+plantas marinas y conchas.
+
+Allí se encuentra el coral.
+
+El coral parece una planta con ramas,
+hojas y flores.
+
+En los arrecifes de la Florida se
+encuentran campos de coral.
+
+Se pueden ver en el agua.
+
+¡Cómo nadan por allí los peces de
+colores!
+
+Parecen ser tan dichosos como los
+pájaros en los bosques.
+
+El coral es una especie de animal.
+
+Cientos de estos corales se pegan en
+el fondo del mar.
+
+Crecen y se ramifican como árboles
+pequeños.
+
+Los erizos, las estrellas de mar y otros
+animales se guarecen entre ellos.
+
+Poco a poco se amontonan los corales
+unos sobre otros y se forma una isla.
+
+Los pájaros y las olas traen semillas
+a la isla.
+
+Las semillas echan raíces y crecen.
+
+Muchos años después vienen gentes
+a vivir en algunas de estas islas.

+
+
+          Wonderful things are to be found in
+          the sea.
+
+          On the reefs lie beautiful seaweeds
+          and shells.
+
+          Coral is found there.
+
+          Coral looks like a plant with branches,
+          leaves, and flowers.
+
+          Beds of coral are found on the Florida
+          Reefs.
+
+          They can be seen in the water.
+
+          How the bright-colored fishes swim
+          about there!
+
+          They look as happy as the birds in
+          the trees.
+
+          The coral is a sort of animal.
+
+          Hundreds of these corals stick themselves
+          to the sea-bottom.
+
+          They grow and branch like little trees.
+
+          The sea urchins, the starfish, and
+          other animals take shelter among
+          them.
+
+          Little by little the corals pile up and
+          an island is formed.
+
+          The birds and the waves carry seeds
+          to the island.
+
+          The seeds make roots and grow.
+
+          Many years afterward people come to
+          live on some of these islands.

+bandada--estanque--vecino.
+
+
+La anciana doña Matilde tenía una
+bandada de gansos.
+
+Quería a sus gansos y los cuidaba
+mucho.
+
+Un día los gansos se escaparon.
+
+¡La pobre anciana! No supo qué hacer.
+
+Fué a la puerta y miró hacia el camino.
+
+No pudo ver ni un solo ganso.
+
+Temía que se hubiesen extraviado.
+
+Juanito y Catalina estaban jugando
+en el patio vecino.
+
+Doña Matilde les preguntó si habían
+visto a sus gansos.
+
+--Los he visto,--dijo Juanito,--iban
+para el estanque.
+
+--¡Dios mío! ¡Dios mío!--dijo doña
+Matilde.
+
+--¿Creéis que volverán?
+
+--Iremos a buscarlos,--dijo Catalina.
+
+Los niños se marcharon en dirección
+del estanque.
+
+Juanito vió los gansos apenas se
+acercó al estanque.

+
+
+          Old Miss Matilda had a flock of geese.
+
+          She was fond of her geese and took
+          great care of them.
+
+          One day the geese got out.
+
+          Poor old lady! She didn't know what
+          to do.
+
+          She went to the gate and looked
+          toward the road.
+
+          She could not see a single goose.
+
+          She was afraid they were lost.
+
+          Johnny and Kate were playing in
+          the yard next door.
+
+          Miss Matilda asked them if they had
+          seen her geese.
+
+          "I saw them," said Johnny, "they
+          were going toward the pond."
+
+          "Dear! dear!" said Miss Matilda.
+
+          "Do you think they will come back?"
+
+          "We'll go looking for them," said Kate.
+
+          The children went off toward the pond.
+
+          Johnny saw the geese almost as soon
+          as he came near the pond.

+

+
+¿Sabes qué flor es?
+
+Es la flor de la yuca.
+
+Nos gusta verla brillar en el sol.
+
+Les gusta a las abejas y a las polillas.
+
+Ellas cogen comida de sus capullos.
+
+La planta de la yuca tiene hojas largas
+y puntiagudas.
+
+Es una planta muy útil.
+
+Catalina tiene una soga para su cabra.
+
+La soga está hecha de las hojas y de
+los tallos de la yuca.
+
+Su madre halla útiles las raíces.
+
+Las arranca y las seca.
+
+Después las usa para jabón.
+
+Lava el cabello de Catalina con ellas.
+
+Catalina tiene un hermoso cabello negro.
+
+La yuca lo pone suave y lustroso.
+
+El fruto de la yuca es bueno para comer.
+
+La madre de Catalina cuece el fruto.
+
+--¡Qué hermosa es la yuca!--dicen
+los niños.
+
+--¡Qué útil es!--dice su madre.
+
+--Nos alegra a todos ver la planta de
+la yuca.
+
+
+          yucca--pointed--dries--soap--glossy.
+
+
+          See this white flower!
+
+          Do you know what it is?
+
+          It is the flower of the yucca.
+
+          We like to see it shining in the sun.
+
+          The bees and the moths like it.
+
+          They gather food from its blossoms.
+
+          The yucca plant has long and pointed
+          leaves.
+
+          It is a very useful plant.
+
+          Katherine has a rope for her goat.
+
+          The rope is made from the leaves
+          and the stems of the yucca.
+
+          Her mother finds the roots useful.
+
+          She digs them up and dries them.
+
+          Then she uses them for soap.
+
+          She washes Katherine's hair with them.
+
+          Katherine has beautiful black hair.
+
+          The yucca makes it soft and glossy.
+
+          The fruit of the yucca is good to eat.
+
+          Katherine's mother cooks the fruit.
+
+          "How beautiful the yucca is!" the
+          children say.
+
+          "How useful it is!" says their mother.
+
+          "We are all glad to see the yucca
+          plant."

+
+--Yo llevaré mi pala grande.
+
+Pablo y papá anduvieron por el alfalfar.
+
+--Los brotes están dulces,--dijo Pablo.
+
+--Sí,--dijo papá,--las abejas lo saben.
+
+Mira a ésta cogiendo miel.
+
+Cuando papá llegó a la acequia estaba
+llena de agua clara de las montañas.
+
+--Abre la puerta, Pablo,--dijo papá.
+
+Pablo abrió la puerta de prisa.
+
+El agua entró corriendo dentro del
+campo de alfalfa.
+
+Pablo y papá trabajaron todo el día.
+
+Por la noche estaban muy cansados,
+pero el campo estaba regado.
+
+--¡Qué fresca y verde se ve la alfalfa!--dijo
+Pablo.
+
+--Me alegro que le dimos agua.

+
+          "You may take your hoe," said
+          papa.
+
+          "I will take the big shovel."
+
+          Paul and papa walked through the
+          alfalfa.
+
+          "The blossoms are sweet," said Paul.
+
+          "Yes," said papa, "the bees know it.
+
+          See this one gathering honey."
+
+          When papa came to the ditch it was full
+          of clear water from the mountains.
+
+          "Open the gate, Paul," said papa.
+
+          Paul opened the gate quickly.
+
+          The water ran into the alfalfa field.
+
+          Paul and papa worked all day.
+
+          At night they were very tired, but
+          the field was irrigated.
+
+          "How fresh and green the alfalfa
+          looks!" said Paul.
+
+          "I am glad we gave it some water."
+
+          "Yes," said papa. "It would die without
+          the water."
+
+          "I like the water, too!" said Paul.

+
+
+María vive en una ciudad grande.
+
+Ella tiene una amiga que se llama Luisa.
+
+Luisa vive en un rancho en el campo.
+
+En el rancho hay muchas ovejas.
+
+Un día María fué a visitar a Luisa.
+
+La niñita de la ciudad no había estado
+en el campo nunca.
+
+Le gustaba ver jugar a los corderos.
+
+Una tarde las niñas fueron a pasear.
+
+Estaban paseando cerca del redil de
+las ovejas.
+
+--Mira a ese perro extraño,--dijo María.
+
+--Mira qué nariz tan afilada tiene.
+
+Sus orejas son puntiagudas también.
+
+Mira qué peluda es su cola.
+
+Luisa miró al perro extraño y se rió.
+
+--Ése no es un perro,--dijo ella.
+
+--Ése es un coyote. Llamaré a Turco
+para que le eche fuera.
+
+Turco corrió ladrando tras el coyote.
+
+El coyote se alejó muy de prisa.
+
+Por la noche María oyó un aullido
+extraño.
+
+--¿Qué es eso?--le preguntó a Luisa.
+
+--Ése es el coyote,--dijo Luisa.
+
+--Él aulla porque quiere su cena.
+
+

+
+
+          Mary lives in a large city.
+
+          She has a friend named Louise.
+
+          Louise lives on a ranch in the country.
+
+          On the ranch are many sheep.
+
+          One day Mary went to visit Louise.
+
+          The little city girl had never been
+          in the country before.
+
+          She liked to see the lambs play.
+
+          One evening the girls went to walk.
+
+          They were walking near the sheep pen.
+
+          "Look at that strange dog!" said Mary.
+
+          "See what a sharp nose he has!
+
+          His ears are pointed, too.
+
+          See how bushy his tail is!"
+
+          Louise looked at the strange dog
+          and laughed.
+
+          "That is not a dog," she said.
+
+          "That is a coyote. I'll call Turk to
+          drive him away."
+
+          Turk ran after the coyote and barked.
+
+          The coyote ran off very fast.
+
+          In the night Mary heard a strange
+          cry.
+
+          "What is that?" she asked Louise.
+
+          "It is the coyote," said Louise.
+
+          "He is crying for his supper."

+Juan vive en un rancho.
+
+Su casa está en el verde valle.
+
+El padre de Juan tiene muchas cabras
+en su rancho.
+
+Juan ayuda a su padre a cuidar las
+cabras.
+
+En el verano Juan lleva las cabras
+a las montañas.
+
+A Juan le gustan las montañas.
+
+Él tiene allí una rústica cabaña.
+
+Está entre los árboles cerca de un arroyo.
+
+Todos los días las cabras trepan por
+la ladera de la montaña.
+
+Ellas comen zacate y matojos.
+
+Juan va con ellas a la montaña.
+
+Por la noche las guía abajo de nuevo.
+
+Las guía al redil.
+
+Allí ellas están seguras del peligro.
+
+La cabra da rica y dulce leche.
+
+Juan bebe leche para la cena.
+
+Él hace queso de la leche, también.
+
+Una noche un león saltó dentro del
+redil donde estaban las cabras.
+
+Él intentó coger una cabra.
+
+Juan estaba dormido en su cabaña.
+
+Al oír el ruido, él corrió fuera con
+su escopeta.
+
+El león tuvo miedo y se alejó.

+
+
+          John lives on a ranch.
+
+          His home is in a green valley.
+
+          John's father has many goats on his
+          ranch.
+
+          John helps his father care for the
+          goats.
+
+          In the summer John takes the goats
+          to the mountains.
+
+          John loves the mountains.
+
+          He has a log house there.
+
+          It is among the trees near a stream.
+
+          Every day the goats climb up the side
+          of the mountain.
+
+          They nibble the grass and the bushes.
+
+          John goes with them up the mountain.
+
+          At night he drives them down again.
+
+          He drives them into a pen.
+
+          There they are safe from harm.
+
+          The goats give rich and sweet milk.
+
+          John drinks the milk for his supper.
+
+          He makes cheese from the milk, too.
+
+          One night a mountain lion jumped into
+          the pen where the goats were.
+
+          He tried to catch a goat.
+
+          John was asleep in his log house.
+
+          When he heard the noise, he ran out
+          with his gun.
+
+          The lion was afraid and ran away.

+          <p>She heard a loud humming.</p>
+
+          <p>It was too loud for a bee.</p>
+
+          <p>It was a humming-bird.</p>
+
+          <p>Mary kept still to watch it.</p>
+
+          <p>How pretty its feathers were!</p>
+
+          <p>How fast it moved its little wings!</p>
+
+          <p>It had a very long bill.</p>
+
+          <p>It could reach to the bottom of the<br>
+          flowers with it.</p>
+
+          <p>The humming-bird eats honey.</p>
+
+          <p>It gathers it from the flowers.</p>
+
+          <p>It is a very little bird.</p>
+
+          <p>It has a nest of moss.</p>
+
+          <p>The nest holds two little eggs.</p>
+
+          <p>How tiny the baby birds must be!</p>
+
+          <p>Mary watched for the humming-bird<br>
+          every day.</p>
+
+          <p>One day she took a doll's cup.</p>
+
+          <p>She put a little sugar and water in<br>
+          the cup.</p>
+
+          <p>Then she put the cup in the garden.</p>
+
+          <p>The humming-bird flew to the cup.</p>
+
+          <p>It put its long bill into the cup.</p>
+
+          <p>It liked the water with sugar.</p>
+
+          <p>How pleased Mary was!</p>
+
+          <p>She had sugar for it every day.</p>

+

+

+
+          <p>One day Mrs. Florence gave Helen a<br>
+          little package.</p>
+
+          <p>It was a little package of seeds.</p>
+

+

+

+          some worms turn to butterflies.</p>
+
+          <p>He wanted to see one change to a<br>
+          butterfly.</p>
+
+          <p>One day he got a worm in the garden.</p>
+
+          <p>He carried it to his mamma on a leaf.</p>
+
+          <p>She gave him a box to keep it in.</p>
+
+          <p>Fred gave it fresh leaves to eat every<br>
+          day.</p>
+
+          <p>Pretty soon the worm stopped eating.</p>
+
+          <p>Fred thought it would die.</p>
+
+          <p>His mamma told him, "No, Fred, it<br>
+          is going to sleep.</p>
+
+          <p>When it wakes up it will be a butterfly."</p>
+
+          <p>The worm spun a web round its body.</p><br>
+
+          <p>It was stuck to one side of the box.</p>

+
+          <p>"I thought it would be prettier."</p>
+
+          <p>In a few moments it began to move,<br>
+          and spread out its wings.</p>
+
+          <p>The colors turned brighter.</p>
+
+          <p>"O, how beautiful!" said Fred.</p>
+

+Juego mucho en el campo. Mi abuelito me deja
+pasear sobre los montones de yerba. Cojo moras
+para mi abuelita. Nos dan queso con el café.
+Quisiera que estuvieses aquí con nosotros. La
+chiquitína te ha escrito una carta. Cogió la

+tinta. ¿Puedes leer su carta? Dice que ha
+escrito: ¿Cómo estás, papá? Te quiero mucho.</p>

+          <p>DEAR PAPA:</p>
+
+          <p>We are having a very good time.
+          Grandpa has a big bay horse. Sometimes he
+          puts me on the horse's back. It is such fun!
+          I play in the field a great deal. Grandpa lets
+          me walk on the haycocks. I pick berries for
+          grandma. They give us cheese with our coffee.
+          I wish you were here with us. Baby has written
+          you a letter. She took grandma's quill pen,
+          and she spilled the ink. Can you read her
+          letter? She says she wrote "How are you,

+<p>La vió trepar sobre el marinero viejo.</p>
+
+<p>Una cotorra trepa con su pico al mismo<br>

+
+<p>--¿Cómo está V.?--dijo la cotorra.</p>
+
+<p>A Carlos le sorprendió mucho oir<br>
+hablar a un pájaro.</p>
+
+<p>--¿ Quién es V.?--dijo la cotorra.</p>
+
+<p>Carlos le dijo su nombre.</p>
+
+<p>Al marinero viejo esto le hizo reir.</p>
+
+<p>--¿Quiere V. venderme esa cotorra?<br>--
+preguntó Carlos.</p>
+
+<p>--La venderé por ocho pesos,--dijo<br>
+el marinero.</p>
+
+<p>Carlos corrió hacia su padre con la<br>
+cotorra.</p>
+
+<p>--Aquí está un pájaro que habla,<br>--
+dijo él.</p>
+
+<p>--Hágame el favor de comprármelo,<br>
+papá.</p>
+
+<p>--Yo soy un pájaro hermoso,--dijo<br>
+la cotorra,--déme azúcar.</p>
+
+<p>Al padre de Carlos le pareció el pájaro<br>
+muy bien enseñado.</p>
+
+<p>Lo compró para su niño.</p>
+
+<p>La cotorra fué su gran favorita.</p>

+
+
+--¡Buenos días, amiguita Luisa!
+¿Adónde vas con una muñeca tan
+linda?
+
+--¡Buenos días, abuelito! Voy a ver
+a María.
+
+--¿Porqué no vas a la escuela?
+
+--¡Pero, abuelito! Hoy es día de
+fiesta.
+No tenemos escuela, hoy.
+¿No lo sabía V.?
+María y yo vamos a jugar a las
+muñecas.
+¿Ha visto V. mi muñeca nueva?
+
+--No, no creo haberla visto.
+¿Te ha dado mamá esta muñeca?
+
+--Sí, me la dió el día de mi
+cumpleaños.
+V. sabe que ahora tengo seis años.
+
+--¡Qué muñeca tan bonita!
+¿Dónde está el sombrero de tu muñeca?
+
+--No tiene sombrero, abuelito.
+
+--Tu pobre muñeca va a resfriarse.
+Pídele a tu abuelita que le haga uno.
+Yo sé que ella se lo hará.
+
+
+           hol'iday--hand'some--years.--Lou'ise.
+
+           "Good morning, little Louise!
+           Where are you going with such a
+           handsome doll?"
+
+           "Good morning, grandpa! I am going
+           to see Mary."
+
+           "Why aren't you going to school?"
+
+           "Why, grandpa! To-day is a holiday.
+           We do not have school to-day.
+           Didn't you know?
+           Mary and I are going to play with
+           our dolls.
+           Have you seen my new doll?"
+
+           "No, I don't think I have.
+           Did mamma give you that doll?"
+
+           "Yes, she gave it to me on my
+           birthday.
+           You know I am six years old now."
+
+           "What a pretty doll!
+           Where is your doll's hat?"
+
+           "She hasn't any hat, grandpa."
+
+           "Your poor doll will take cold.
+           Ask grandma to make one for her.
+           I know she will."

+ampollas--recogedor.
+
+
+Mire V. qué coche tan raro tiene mi
+muñeca.
+Estoy en casa de mi abuelo.
+
+Ahora él no tiene niñas chiquitas.
+
+Mamá era su niña chiquita.
+
+Traje a mi muñeca conmigo.
+
+No podía traer el coche de mi muñeca.
+
+Mamá dijo que era demasiado grande.
+
+Mi abuela me buscó un coche.
+
+Ella dijo que el recogedor serviría.
+
+Me parece un coche muy raro.
+
+¡No se caigan, muñequitas mías!
+
+No caerían de muy alto.
+
+Vamos a ver a María.
+
+¡Mire V.! me está buscando.
+
+María y yo vamos a hacer ampollas
+de jabón.
+
+¿Ve V. mi pipa?
+
+La he puesto en la pala.
+
+A mí me gusta hacer ampollas de
+jabón.
+
+¡Son tan bonitas!
+
+
+          car'riage--soap--fall--pipe--blow;
+          dust'pan--bub'bles.--brought.
+
+
+          See what a funny carriage my doll
+          has.
+
+          I am at grandpa's house.
+
+          He hasn't any little girls now.
+
+          Mamma was his little girl.
+
+          I brought my doll with me.
+
+          I couldn't bring my doll's carriage.
+
+          Mamma said it was too big.
+
+          Grandma looked for a carriage for
+          me.
+
+          She said that the dustpan would do.
+
+          I think it's a very funny carriage.
+
+          Don't fall off, dollies!
+
+          They wouldn't fall very far.
+
+          We are going to see Mary.
+
+          See! she is looking for me.
+
+          Mary and I are going to blow soap
+          bubbles.
+
+          Do you see my pipe?
+
+          I put it on the dustpan.
+
+          I like to blow soap bubbles.
+
+          They are so pretty!
+
+
+
+
+sábado--merienda--ferrocarril
+compañera--violetas--cuchillo.
+
+
+Mamá nos llevó al campo el sábado
+pasado.
+
+Trajimos nuestra merienda en una cesta.
+Dimos un largo paseo en ferro-carril.
+
+Después llegamos a un campo muy
+bonito.
+
+Anita no pudo venir con nosotras.
+
+Ella está enferma.
+
+Ahora no puede ir a ninguna parte.
+
+Anita es mi compañera de juego.
+
+Encontramos unas cuantas violetas
+bonitas.
+
+Había otras flores también.
+
+Me gustan más las violetas.
+
+Encontré una mata de violetas muy
+bonita.
+
+Dije que me gustaría que Anita la
+pudiese ver.
+
+--Y la verá,--dijo mamá.
+
+--Puedes llevársela a su casa.
+
+Ella arrancó la planta con su cuchillo.
+
+Yo la llevé a casa de Anita.
+
+¡Le dió tanto gusto tenerla!
+
+
+          car'ried--vi'o lets--play'mate
+          plant--knife.
+
+
+          Mamma took us to the country last
+          Saturday.
+
+          We carried our lunch in a basket.
+
+          We had a long ride on the cars.
+
+          Then we came to a very pretty field.
+
+          Annie couldn't come with us.
+
+          She is sick.
+
+          She can't go anywhere now.
+
+          Annie is my playmate.
+
+          We found some pretty violets.
+
+          There were other flowers too.
+
+          I like the violets best.
+
+          I found a very pretty violet plant.
+
+          I said I wished Annie could see it.
+
+          "So she shall," said mamma.
+
+          "You can take it to her house."
+
+          She took the plant up with her knife.
+
+          I took it to Annie's house.
+
+          She was so glad to have it!
+
+
+
+
+Mayito--plumaje--compañerita--oscuro--yerbas
+Jazmines--arroz--insectos--moscas--verano.
+
+
+Yo soy un mayito.
+
+Hago mi nido en los prados.
+
+Mira mi hermoso plumaje.
+
+Es blanco y negro.
+
+¿Ve V. a mi compañerita?
+
+Tiene un plumaje oscuro.
+
+A mí me gustan las margaritas y las
+yerbas.
+
+Me balanceo en los jazmines y en
+las zarzas.
+
+Soy tan dichoso y tan alegre.
+
+Vuelo hacia los campos de arroz.
+
+Como todo el arroz que puedo.
+
+Yo creo que el arroz crece para mí.
+
+Cojo insectos, moscas y gusanos.
+
+Y creo que yo podría tener arroz
+también.
+
+En el verano voy al norte.
+
+¡Mayito, mayito! ésta es mi canción.
+
+Buscame en los prados.
+
+

+
+
+          I am a bobolink.
+
+          I make my nest in the meadows.
+
+          Look at my fine coat of feathers.
+
+          It is black and white.
+
+          Do you see my little mate?
+
+          She has a dress of dark-colored
+          feathers.
+
+          I like the daisies and the grasses.
+
+          I swing on the jasmines and on the
+          blackberry bushes.
+
+          I am so happy and so gay.
+
+          I fly toward the rice fields.
+
+          I eat all the rice I can.
+
+          I think the rice grows for me.
+
+          I catch bugs, flies, and worms.
+
+          And I think I might have rice too.
+
+          In summer I go north.
+
+          Bobolink, bobolink! this is my song.
+
+          Look for me in the meadows.

+
+Hemos estado en los bosques.
+
+¿Ve V. todas nuestras flores?
+
+¿Le gusta a V. nuestro burro?
+
+Se llama Perico.
+
+Perico lleva puestas algunas flores.
+
+Es un burro viejo muy manso.
+
+Le gusta comer cardos.
+
+Encontramos un arroyo muy bonito.
+
+Las lilas crecían cerca del arroyo.
+
+Atravesamos el arroyo sobre piedras.
+
+Merendamos cerca del arroyo.
+
+Jugamos a la gallina ciega en los
+bosques.
+
+¡Cuánto nos divertimos!
+
+Nuestro burro merendó en el campo.
+
+Comió todos los cardos y toda la,
+yerba que pudo.
+
+Enrique nos hizo un columpio.
+
+Lo puso en un castaño grande.
+
+Vamos a coger nueces cuando estén
+maduras.
+
+¿No le gustaría a V. venir con
+nosotros?

+
+          We have been in the woods.
+
+          Do you see all our flowers?
+
+          Do you like our donkey?
+
+          His name is Pete.
+
+          Pete is wearing some flowers.
+
+          He is a very gentle old donkey.
+
+          He likes to eat thistles.
+
+          We found a very pretty brook.
+
+          The lilacs were growing near the
+          brook.
+
+          We crossed the brook on stones.
+
+          We had lunch near the brook.
+
+          We played blind man's buff in the
+          woods.
+
+          What fun we had!
+
+          Our donkey had lunch in the field.
+
+          He ate all the thistles and all the
+          grass he could.
+
+          Henry made us a swing.
+
+          He put it on a big chestnut tree.
+
+          We are going nutting when the nuts
+          are ripe.
+
+          Shouldn't you like to come with us?

+
+Le gusta verlas recoger la miel.
+
+No la pican.
+
+A ella le gusta ayudarlas.
+
+María coge una bonita flor.
+
+Se la trae a una abeja.
+
+La abeja vuela hacia la flor.
+
+No la pica.
+
+María observa la abeja recogiendo miel.
+
+Quiere ver cómo lo hace.

+
+Las abejas lo alimentan de polen.
+
+Recogen el polen de las flores.
+
+El polen parece polvo amarillo.
+
+El gusano se alimenta durante cinco días.
+
+Entonces parece que va a dormir.
+
+Las abejas lo cubren con cera.
+

+
+          They gather the honey from flowers.
+
+          They put it into their hives.
+
+          Mary likes to watch the bees.
+
+          She likes to see them gather honey.
+
+          They do not sting her.
+
+          She likes to help them.
+
+          Mary picks a pretty flower.
+
+          She takes it to a bee.
+
+          The bee flies toward the flower.
+
+          It does not sting her.
+
+          Mary watches the bee gather honey.
+
+          She wants to see how it does it.
+
+          These are honey bees.

+          They gather the pollen from flowers.
+
+          Pollen looks like yellow dust.
+
+          The worm is fed for five days.
+
+          Then it seems to go to sleep.
+
+          The bees cover it with wax.
+
+          By and by it wakes up.
+
+          It comes out of its wax bed.
+
+          It is a little baby bee.

+
+
+María jugaba en el jardín un día.
+
+Oyó un zumbido fuerte.
+
+Era demasiado fuerte para una abeja.
+
+Era un colibrí.
+
+María se quedó quieta para mirarlo.
+
+¡Qué bonitas eran sus plumas!
+
+¡Qué aprisa movía las alitas!
+
+Tenía un pico muy largo.
+
+Podía llegar con él al fondo de las
+flores.
+
+El colibrí come miel.
+
+La recoge de las flores.
+
+Es un pájaro muy pequeño.
+
+Tiene un nido de musgo.
+
+El nido contiene dos huevecitos.
+
+¡Qué pequeños deben ser los pajaritos!
+
+María esperaba al colibrí todos los días.
+
+Un día tomó una de las tazas de su
+muñeca.
+
+Puso un poco de azúcar y agua en
+la taza.
+
+Después puso la taza en el jardín.
+
+El colibrí voló hacia la tacita.
+
+Puso su largo pico en la taza.
+
+Le gustó el agua con azúcar.
+
+¡Qué contenta estaba María!
+
+Tenía azúcar para él todos los días.

+
+
+          Mary played in the garden one day.
+
+          She heard a loud humming.
+
+          It was too loud for a bee.
+
+          It was a humming-bird.
+
+          Mary kept still to watch it.
+
+          How pretty its feathers were!
+
+          How fast it moved its little wings!
+
+          It had a very long bill.
+
+          It could reach to the bottom of the
+          flowers with it.
+
+          The humming-bird eats honey.
+
+          It gathers it from the flowers.
+
+          It is a very little bird.
+
+          It has a nest of moss.
+
+          The nest holds two little eggs.
+
+          How tiny the baby birds must be!
+
+          Mary watched for the humming-bird
+          every day.
+
+          One day she took a doll's cup.
+
+          She put a little sugar and water in
+          the cup.
+
+          Then she put the cup in the garden.
+
+          The humming-bird flew to the cup.
+
+          It put its long bill into the cup.
+
+          It liked the water with sugar.
+
+          How pleased Mary was!
+
+          She had sugar for it every day.

+
+Mi roble está cerca de un granero.
+
+En aquel granero hay un caballo manso.
+
+Tiene todos los días maíz para comer.
+
+Él me da un poco de su maíz.
+
+Lleno mis carrillos de maíz.
+
+Después lo traigo a mi nido.
+
+Recojo nueces para el invierno.
+
+En el invierno duermo en el roble.
+
+A veces viene un día de calor.
+
+Entonces me despierto.
+
+Salgo a la claridad del sol.
+
+Después me vuelvo a dormir.
+
+Algún día quizás tú me encuentres

+
+Ten la bondad de no quitarme mis

+
+Me costó mucho trabajo conseguirlas.
+
+Yo necesitaré esas nueces en el

+
+          I live in an oak tree.
+
+          I run among the trees all summer.
+
+          I work hard in the fall.
+
+          My oak tree is near a barn.
+
+          In that barn there is a gentle horse.
+
+          He has corn to eat every day.
+
+          He gives me a little of his corn.
+
+          I fill my cheeks with corn.
+
+          Then I carry it to my nest.
+
+          I gather nuts for the winter.
+
+          In winter I am asleep in the oak
+          tree.
+
+          Sometimes there comes a warm day.
+
+          Then I wake up.
+
+          I come out into the sunshine.
+
+          Then I go back to sleep.
+
+          Some day maybe you will find me in
+          my nest.
+
+          Please do not take away my nuts.
+
+          It was a great deal of work for me
+          to get them.
+
+          I shall need those nuts in the winter.

+
+--Duque me enseñó el camino.
+
+--¿Dónde está él ahora?
+
+--Corrió hacia el bosque.
+Vio allí un conejo pequeño.
+
+--¡Oh, querida mía! Lo asustará.
+
+--Lo llamé, pero no quiso venir.
+¿Tenéis muchas moras en vuestros
+cubos?
+
+--Sí, hemos encontrado algunos
+arbustos grandes.
+
+Catalina encontró un nido monísimo
+en una rama.
+
+Hay cinco huevos en el nido.
+
+Ven, y te lo enseñaremos.
+
+No cojamos moras en ese arbusto.
+
+Asustaríamos a la madre.
+
+Coge tus moras ahora, Gracia.
+
+Luego nos iremos a casa.

+
+          "How did you find us?"
+
+          "Duke showed me the way."
+
+          "Where is he now?"
+
+          "He ran toward the woods.
+           He saw a little rabbit there."
+
+          "Oh, my dear! He will frighten it."
+
+          "I called him, but he wouldn't come.
+          Have you many berries in your
+          pails?"
+
+          "Yes, we found some big bushes."
+
+          Kate found a dear little nest on a
+          branch.
+
+          There are five eggs in the nest.
+
+          Come, and we will show it to you.
+
+          Let's not pick berries on that bush.
+
+          We should frighten the mother.
+
+          Pick your berries now, Grace.
+
+          Then we will go home."
+
+          "I want to get my cup full for

+

+

+
+Le gustaba jugar sobre su escritorio.
+
+Sofía ponía a veces azúcar allí para él.
+
+El ratoncito la encontraba.
+
+Un día mamá lo vio.
+
+Dijo que el gatito debía cogerlo.
+
+Sofía estaba muy triste.
+
+No quería que se lo comiese el gatito.
+
+Habló a papá del ratoncito.
+
+Él le dio una ratonera pequeñita.
+
+Parecía una jaula.
+
+El ratoncito podía vivir en ella.
+
+Puso azúcar en la ratonera.
+
+El ratoncito entró en la ratonera.
+
+Sofía lo mimaba mucho.
+
+Le daba de comer todos los días.
+
+Le daba agua en la tacita de su muñeca.
+
+El ratoncito quiere a Sofía.

+
+
+          A little mouse was living in our

+
+          Every night it came out to play.
+
+          It would come into Sophy's room.
+
+          It liked to play on her desk.
+
+          Sophy would put sugar there for it.
+
+          The little mouse would find it.
+
+          One day mamma saw the mouse.
+
+          She said the kitty ought to catch it.
+
+          Sophy was very sorry.
+
+          She didn't want the kitty to eat it.
+
+          She talked to papa about the mouse.
+
+          He gave her a little bit of a trap.
+
+          It looked like a cage.
+
+          The little mouse could live in it.
+
+          He put sugar in the trap.
+
+          The little mouse went into the trap.
+
+          Sophy made a great pet of it.
+
+          She fed it every day.
+
+          She gave it water in her doll's cup.
+
+          The little mouse loves Sophy.
+
+          It is happy in its cage.

+
+Recibió algunos regalos bonitos.
+
+Le dieron tres muñecas grandes.
+
+--Bien, Juanita,--dijo papá,--¿qué
+vas a hacer con tres muñecas?
+
+--Jugaré con ellas,--dijo Juanita.
+
+--Tres muñecas no son demasiado.
+
+¿No le gustaría a V. tener tres niñas,
+papá?
+
+A esto papá no podía responder: No.
+
+El padre de Juanita era médico.
+
+Iba al hospital todos los días.
+
+Un día Juanita fué al hospital con él.
+
+Allí vió a dos niñas.
+
+Tenían que quedarse en cama todo
+el día.
+
+A Juanita le dió mucha lástima.
+
+Cuando volvió a casa, cogió sus
+muñecas.
+
+Vistió dos de ellas con sus trajes más
+bonitos.
+
+Después se las llevó a su padre.
+
+--¿Puedo regalar mis muñecas a las
+niñas?--le preguntó.
+
+--Sí, puedes,--dijo su papá.
+
+Juanita llevó las muñecas a las niñas.
+
+Mira qué contentas están.

+
+          What a happy Christmas Day Jennie
+          had!
+
+          She received some pretty presents.
+
+          They gave her three big dolls.
+
+          "Well, Jennie," said papa, "what are
+          you going to do with three dolls?"
+
+          "I will play with them," said Jennie.
+
+          "Three dolls are not too many.
+
+          Shouldn't you like to have three
+          little girls, papa?"
+
+          Papa couldn't answer "no" to that.
+
+          Jennie's father was a doctor.
+
+          He went to the hospital every day.
+
+          One day Jennie went to the hospital
+          with him.
+
+          She saw two little girls there.
+
+          They had to stay in bed all day.
+
+          Jennie was very sorry about it.
+
+          When she went home, she took her
+          dolls.
+
+          She dressed two of them in their
+          prettiest clothes.
+
+          Then she took them to her father.
+
+          "May I make the little girls a present
+          of my dolls?" she asked him.
+
+          "Yes, you may," said papa.
+
+          Jennie took the dolls to the girls.
+
+          See how pleased they are.
+
+          Jennie was very much pleased too.

+
+Ella dice,--Buenos días, doña

+
+¿Está V. bien esta mañana?
+
+--No muy bien,--responde ella.
+
+--Pero me alegro de verte.
+
+Un día doña Florencia dió a Elena
+un paquetito.
+
+Era un paquetito de semillas.
+
+--Siémbralas bajo tu ventana,--le
+dijo.
+
+--Antes de mucho tiempo brotarán
+las flores.
+
+Se asomarán y te mirarán.
+
+Yo no puedo ir para decirte: Buenos

+
+Las flores lo dirán por mí.
+
+A Elena le gustaron mucho las semillas.
+
+Las sembró debajo de su ventana.
+
+Pronto salieron las hojas.
+
+A los pocos días brotaron las flores.
+
+Elena cogió algunas para la anciana.

+
+          A poor old lady lives near her.
+
+          Helen goes to see her.
+
+          She says "Good morning, Mrs. Florence.
+          Are you well this morning?"
+
+          "Not very well," she answers.
+
+          "But I am glad to see you."
+
+          One day Mrs. Florence gave Helen a
+          little package.
+
+          It was a little package of seeds.
+
+          "Sow them under your window," she
+          told her.
+
+          "Before long the blossoms will come
+          out.
+
+          They will peep in at you.
+
+          I cannot come to say good morning
+          to you.
+
+          The blossoms will say it for me."
+
+          Helen liked the seeds very much.
+
+          She sowed them underneath her
+          Window.
+
+          Soon the leaves came out.
+
+          In a few days the flowers came.
+
+          Helen picked some for the old lady.
+
+          "I say good morning only once," said
+          Helen.
+
+          "Your flowers say it over and over."

+
+Llevaba las migajas a la ventana.
+
+--¡Venid, pajaritos!--decía.
+
+--Mirad lo que tengo para vosotros.
+
+Entonces los pájaros volaban a la
+ventana.
+
+Elena les echaba las migajas para que
+ellos comiesen.
+
+--Aquí hay todo un almuerzo para
+vosotros, pajaritos.
+
+Los pájaros aprendieron a conocer a
+Elena.
+
+Volaban muy cerca de ella.
+
+Elena les daba de comer.
+
+Aprendió los nombres de todos los
+pájaros.
+
+--¡Buenos días, sinsonte!--decía ella.
+
+--Y aquí hay un tordo.

+
+          They sang for her as soon as it was
+          light.
+
+          She used to get a basket of bread
+          crumbs.
+
+          She took the crumbs to the window.
+
+          "Come, birdies!" she said.
+
+          "Look what I have for you."
+
+          Then the birds flew to the window.
+
+          Helen threw them the crumbs to eat.
+
+          "Here is a whole breakfast for you,
+          birdies."
+
+          The birds learned to know Helen.
+
+          They would fly very near her.
+
+          Helen would feed them.
+
+          She learned the names of all the
+          birds.
+
+          "Good morning, mocking-bird!" she
+          would say.
+
+          "And here is a thrush".
+
+          I want to see your eggs, mocking-bird.
+
+          Your eggs are very pretty.
+
+          The bobolink makes his nest in the
+          fields.
+
+          I can look into the nest.
+
+          I go to the fields to see him.

+          He never comes to see me...

+
+Un día llevó a Gilberto a ver a los

+
+Una india tenía un bebé.
+
+Una india se llama una _squaw_.
+
+Un bebé indio se llama un _papoose_.
+
+El _papoose_ estaba atado a una tabla
+que colgaba de un árbol.
+
+Miró a Gilberto con sus ojos vivos.
+
+--¡Qué bonito es!--dijo Gilberto.
+
+La _squaw_ dejó a Gilberto que lo cogiese,
+
+--Mi pequeño _papoose_,--dijo ella.
+
+--Me gustaría que mamá lo viese,--dijo
+Gilberto.
+
+--¿Puedo llevárselo a mamá?
+
+--No, no te lleves mi _papoose_,--dijo
+la _squaw_.
+
+Gilberto le dió el _papoose_.
+
+Volvió a ponerlo en el árbol.
+
+¡Qué sitio tan raro para un niño!
+
+El viento puede mecerlo.
+
+Los pájaros pueden cantarle.
+
+¿Cree V. que le gustaría a su hermanita?

+
+
+          Gilbert's father lived far off in the
+          West.
+
+          One day he took Gilbert to see the
+          Indians.
+
+          One Indian woman had a baby.
+
+          An Indian woman is called a squaw.
+
+          An Indian baby is called a papoose.
+
+          The papoose was tied to a board
+          hanging on a tree.
+
+          It looked at him with its bright eyes.
+
+          "How pretty it is!" said Gilbert.
+
+          The squaw let Gilbert hold it.
+
+          "My little papoose," said she.
+
+          "I should like to have mamma see
+          it," said Gilbert.
+
+          "May I take it to mamma?"
+
+          "No, don't carry off my papoose,"
+          said the squaw.
+
+          Gilbert gave her the papoose.
+
+          She put it back on the tree.
+
+          What a funny place for a baby!
+
+          The wind can rock it.
+
+          The birds can sing to it.
+
+          Do you think your little sister would
+          like it?

+Gilberto vió a un muchacho indio.
+
+Estaba cuidando una jaca.
+
+Gilberto empezó a hablar con él.
+
+No podían hablar muy bien.
+
+El indio le enseñó su _wigwam_.
+
+Un _wigwam_ es la casa de un indio.
+
+Es una casita hecha de pieles.
+
+El indio dejó a Gilberto entrar en
+su casa.
+
+Le dio un arco y flechas.
+
+Los indios saben tirar muy bien.
+
+Él enseñó a Gilberto a tirar la flecha.
+
+Gilberto le dió algunas canicas muy

+Le enseñó a jugar a las canicas.
+
+El indio puso una canica en el árbol.
+
+Podía tumbarla con su flecha.

+

+          He was taking care of a pony.
+
+          Gilbert began to talk with him.
+
+          They couldn't talk very well.
+
+          The Indian showed him his wigwam.
+
+          A wigwam is an Indian's house.
+
+          It is a little house made of skins.
+
+          The Indian let Gilbert go into his
+          house.
+
+          He gave him a bow and arrows.
+
+          Indians can shoot very well.
+
+          He taught Gilbert to shoot an arrow.
+
+          Gilbert gave him some very pretty
+          marbles.
+
+          He showed him how to play marbles.
+
+          The Indian put a marble on the tree.
+
+          He could shoot it off with his arrow.
+
+          Gilbert could not do the same.
+
+          His arrow stuck in the tree.

+
+Llevó a mamá, a Lucía y a Catalina a

+
+Los lirios acuáticos crecían en el agua.
+
+--¿Quieren Vds. algunos lirios?--preguntó
+Juan.
+
+--¡Oh sí!--respondieron todas.
+
+Juan remó hacia donde estaban los lirios.
+
+--¡Qué bonitos lirios blancos!--dijo
+Lucía.
+
+--Tengo que llevarlos a casa conmigo.
+Cogió cuantos pudo.
+
+Catalina tenía su falda llena de lirios.
+
+--¡Qué bonitos son!--dijo ella.

+

+
+          He took mamma, Lucy, and Kate for
+          a row.
+
+          The water-lilies were growing in the
+          water.
+
+          "Do you want some lilies?" asked
+          John.
+
+          "O yes!" they all answered.
+
+          John rowed toward where the lilies
+          were.
+
+          "What pretty white lilies!" said Lucy.
+
+          "I must take them home with me."
+
+          She picked as many as she could.
+
+          Kate had her lap full of lilies.
+
+          "How pretty they are!" said she.
+
+          "The leaves are pretty."
+
+          In the lake there were fishes.
+

+
+Parecían botones de cardos.
+

+

+
+Vivían en una casa vieja y parda.
+

+
+Ellos chapaleaban en el agua.
+
+Les gustaba mirar el fondo del charco.
+
+Un día vieron una linda estrella de mar.
+
+La estrella tenía cinco brazos.
+
+Estos brazos se movían.
+
+Tenían pequeños tentáculos.
+
+Estos tentáculos la ayudaban a moverse.

+
+          The pool was in a large rock.
+
+          Seaweeds grew in the pool.
+
+          There were pretty sea urchins there.
+
+          They looked like thistle buds.
+
+          Two children played on the rock.
+
+          Their father was a fisherman.
+
+          They lived in an old brown house.
+
+          They ran away from the waves.
+
+          They paddled in the water.
+
+          They liked to look down in the pool.
+
+          One day they saw a pretty starfish.
+
+          The starfish had five arms.
+
+          These arms moved.
+
+          They had little feelers.
+
+          These feelers helped it to move about.
+
+          The mouth was in the middle of the
+          starfish.
+
+          Look at the starfish in the picture.

+
+          I want to use a bit of this bright

+

+

+
+El ganso viejo quería aquel vestido
+color de rosa.
+
+Metió su cabeza por entre la valla.
+
+Cogió el vestido con su pico grande.
+
+La pobra Pepita tenía miedo.
+
+--¡Oh Enrique, ven!--dijo ella.
+
+--Aquí hay un grandísimo pájaro.
+Quiere mi vestido nuevo.
+
+Enrique cogió un buen palo.
+
+Y dijo: ¡Suéltala, pájaro malvado!
+Tú no puedes llevarte el vestido de

+
+El viejo ganso soltó el vestido.

+Salió corriendo del patio.
+

+
+          He saw the pink dress through the

+
+          The gander wanted that pink dress.
+
+          He put his head through the fence.
+
+          He caught the dress in his big bill.
+
+          Poor Josie was afraid.
+
+          "O Henry, come!" said she.
+
+          "Here is a great big bird.
+          He wants my new dress."
+
+          Henry got a good big stick.
+
+          And he said, "Let her go, you naughty
+          bird!
+          You can't have Josie's dress."
+
+          The old gander let go of the dress.
+
+          He went running out of the yard.
+
+          Josie was glad to see him run away.

+          She said "Thank you" to Henry.

+
+
+Diego puso un huevo de pato en un

+
+Un patico se crió con los pollos.
+
+¡Qué gracioso era el patico!
+
+Los pollos corrían por todos lados
+y escarbaban la tierra buscando
+gusanos.
+
+El patico no podía escarbar tan bien.
+
+Tenía las patas palmeadas.
+
+Estaban hechas para nadar.
+
+Él quería agua para nadar.
+
+Un día Enriqueta lo encontró.
+
+Lo cogió en sus manos.
+
+--¿Qué tienes, pobre patico?
+
+--¡Pip, pip!--dijo el patico.
+
+--¿Quieres nadar?--dijo Enriqueta.
+
+--¡Pip, pip! Sí, que quiero.
+
+--Tendrás agua.
+
+Enriqueta fué corriendo a casa.
+
+Trajo agua en una palangana.
+
+Puso la palangana en el zacate.
+
+El patico corrió hacia la palangana.
+
+Le gustaba estar en el agua.
+
+La gallina vieja dijo,--¡Clo, clo!
+
+Vas a ahogarte, patico malvado.
+
+Los pollos corrieron hacia la palangana.
+
+Bebieron el agua; pero no podían
+nadar.
+
+La gallina tenía miedo de que se
+ahogasen.
+
+--¡Clo, clo!--dijo ella.
+
+--Aquí está un gusano gordo.
+
+Entonces los pollos corrieron hacia ella.
+
+El patico se quedó y nadó.
+
+Le hubiera gustado que pudiesen nadar

+
+
+          James put a duck's egg into a hen's nest.
+
+          A duckling hatched out with the
+          chickens.
+
+          How funny the duckling was!
+
+          The chickens ran every way and
+          scratched for worms.
+
+          The duckling could not scratch so well.
+
+          It had web feet.
+
+          They were made for swimming.
+
+          It wanted water to swim in.
+
+          One day Hattie found it.
+
+          She took it up in her hands.
+
+          "What is the matter, poor ducky?"
+
+          "Peep, peep!" said the duckling.
+
+          "Do you want to swim?" said Hattie.
+
+          "Peep, peep! Yes, I do."
+
+          "You shall have some water."
+
+          Hattie went running to the house.
+
+          She brought some water in a pan.
+
+          She set the pan on the grass.
+
+          The duckling ran to the pan.
+
+          It liked to be in the water.
+
+          The old hen said, "Cluck, cluck!
+
+          You will be drowned, you naughty
+          ducky."
+
+          The chickens ran to the pan.
+
+          They drank the water; but they
+          could not swim.
+
+          The hen was afraid that they would
+          drown.
+
+          "Cluck, cluck!" said she.
+
+          "Here is a big worm."
+
+          Then the chickens ran to her.
+
+          The duckling stayed and swam.
+
+          It would have liked it if the chickens
+          could swim too.
+
+          All swimming birds have web feet.

+Algunas veces no lucían.
+
+--¿Adonde vais?--dijo Roberto.
+
+--¿Os apaga el viento?
+
+Creo que sois faroles de hadas.
+
+Preguntaré a mamá lo que sois.
+
+Entonces corrió hacia su casa.
+
+--Mamá, el campo está lleno de
+estrellitas.
+
+No lucen siempre.
+
+Hazme el favor de venir y decirme
+lo que son.
+
+--Son gusanos de luz, Roberto,--dijo
+su mamá.
+
+--Procuraré coger uno para ti.
+
+Cogió uno y se lo puso en la mano
+a Roberto.
+
+--¿Dónde están sus alas?--dijo
+Roberto.
+
+--Ésta es la madre de los gusanos
+de luz,--dijo la mamá.
+
+--Sus alas son muy pequeñas.
+
+No puede volar muy de prisa.
+
+Mira cómo la luz va y viene.

+
+
+          Robert was in the country.
+
+          One night he saw some lights in
+          the grass.
+
+          They looked like little stars.
+
+          "I must catch one of those stars,"
+          said he.
+
+          The lights did not keep still.
+
+          Sometimes they did not shine.
+
+          "Where do you go?" said Robert.
+
+          "Does the wind blow you out?
+
+          I think you are fairy lanterns.
+
+          I will ask mamma what you are."
+
+          Then he ran to his house.
+
+          "Mamma, the field is full of little
+          stars.
+          They do not always shine.
+          Please come and tell me what they
+          are."
+
+          "They are fireflies, Robert," said his
+          mamma.
+
+          "I will try to catch one for you."
+
+          She caught one and put it in Robert's
+          hand.
+
+          "Where are its wings?" said Robert.
+
+          "This is the mother of the fireflies,"
+          said mamma.
+
+          "Its wings are very small.
+          It cannot fly very fast.
+          See how the light comes and goes."

+
+Me deslizo por sus rayos.
+
+Las flores se despiertan cuando las toco.
+
+Por la mañana despierto a los pájaros.
+
+Sus casas están en la cima de los árboles.
+
+Cuando me ven, empiezan a cantar.
+
+Abro los lirios en el lago.

+
+Unas son encarnadas, otras color de

+
+Hay otras de color verde, azul, morado

+
+Forman una senda a través del cielo.
+
+Esta senda se llama arco iris.
+

+
+          My home is in the sun.
+
+          I glide along its rays.
+
+          The flowers wake up when I touch them.
+
+          In the morning I wake the birds.
+
+          Their home is in the tree-tops.
+
+          When they see me they begin to
+          sing.
+
+          I open the lilies on the lake.
+
+          I bring the lily buds up from under
+          water.
+
+         When I touch the seeds the plants
+         sprout.
+
+         I kiss the fruit, ripen it, and make

+
+         I drink the morning dew.
+
+         I carry water to the clouds.
+

+
+         You need the things the rain fairies
+         do for you.
+
+         They water the lovely flowers.

+
+          They are not dark or heavy now.
+
+          They shine and are bright with colors.
+
+          Some are red, others orange, and some
+          of them yellow.
+
+          There are others green, blue, indigo,
+          or violet.
+
+          They form a path across the sky.
+
+          This path is called a rainbow.
+
+          It is formed by the sun and the drops
+          of water.
+
+          Each drop of water helps form it.

+
+Dió un centavo al viejo y él le dió

+
+El otro día la encontramos en la calle.
+
+Se había puesto su gorra y su abrigo.
+
+Tenía su muñeca en una mano.
+
+--¡Pero chiquitina! ¿adónde vas?--dije yo.
+
+--¡A comprar dulces!--respondió la chiquitina.
+
+--¿Porqué te llevas la muñeca?
+
+--La muñeca quiere dulces también.
+
+--No puedes comprar dulces, querida mía.
+
+No tienes un centavo.
+
+--Sí, sí, mira mi centavo.
+
+¿Qué crees que tenía?
+
+Tenía un botón.
+
+Iba a comprar dulces con un botón.
+
+¿No era graciosa la chiquitina?
+
+Creo que el viejo le habría dado

+
+Es un hombre muy bueno.

+

+

+
+          We let her buy some candy.
+
+          She gave the old man a cent and he
+          gave her some candy.
+
+          The other day we found her in the street.
+
+          She had put on her cap and cloak.
+
+          She had her doll in one hand.
+
+          "Why, baby! where are you going?" said I.
+
+          "To buy candy!" the baby answered.
+
+          "Why do you take the doll?"
+
+          "The doll wants candy too."
+
+          "You cannot buy candy, dear.
+          You haven't any cent."
+
+          "Yes, yes, see my cent."
+
+          What do you think she had?
+
+          She had a button.
+
+          She was going to buy candy with a button.
+
+          Wasn't baby funny?
+
+          I think the old man would have given
+          her some candy.
+
+          He is a very kind man.

+
+Pasados algunos días llegó el del santo.
+
+Ana hizo el deseado pastel.
+
+Lo llevó a su papá.
+
+Lo puso cerca de su plato.

+

+
+          In a few days the birthday came.
+
+          Anna made the cake as she wished.
+
+          She took it to papa.
+

+
+          "I can buy lots of candy with ten

+
+          In the cart there were plants.
+

+
+          Please give me one that has buds.
+
+          I want to give it to a sick girl."
+
+          She took the plant and ran to see

+
+Hallaron un sitio tranquilo.
+
+--Comeremos nuestra merienda aquí,--dijo

+
+--Aquí hay muchos insectos.
+
+Es un sitio muy a propósito para

+Y al agua se tiraron también los

+
+Y luego subieron de nuevo.
+
+Los patos tienen el pico grande y plano.
+
+Llenan sus picos de lodo.
+
+En el lodo hay insectos.
+
+¡Cómo se divierten los patos!
+
+Algunas ranas viejas estaban sentadas

+
+Miraban a los patos nadando por los

+
+--¡Qué extraños son los patos!
+--dijeron ellas.
+
+--¿Cómo está V., Señora Pata?--dijo

+
+--¿Vive V. siempre en el agua?
+
+--No, de ninguna manera,--dijo la

+--Nuestra casa está en la hacienda.
+Tenemos una casa como la gente.

+
+
+          Mrs. Duck gave a party.
+
+          All the ducks in the yard were there.
+
+          They all went swimming in the river.
+
+          They found a quiet place.
+
+          "We will have our lunch here," said
+          Mrs. Duck.
+
+          "There are a great many insects
+          here.
+          It is a first-rate place to find food."
+
+          And she plunged into the water head
+          first.
+
+          And into the water plunged the other
+          ducks too.
+
+          And then they came up again.
+
+          Ducks have large flat beaks.
+
+          They fill their beaks with mud.
+
+          In the mud there are insects.
+
+          What a good time ducks have!
+
+          Some old frogs were sitting near
+          the lilies.
+
+          They looked at the ducks swimming
+          all around.
+
+          "How queer ducks are!" they said.
+
+          "How are you, Mrs. Duck?" said one
+          of the frogs.
+
+          "Do you live in the water all the
+          time?"
+
+          "No indeed," said Mrs. Duck.
+
+          "Our home is at the farm.
+          We have a house like people."
+
+          "Well! well! why do they make you
+          a house?
+
+          They don't make a house for us."
+
+          "We lay eggs for the people," said
+          Mrs. Duck.
+
+          "And so do we lay eggs," said the
+          frog.
+
+          "You lay your eggs in the water.
+          People do not like your eggs.
+          Our eggs are big and good to eat."

+Jaime y Dolores eran niños pobres.
+
+Nunca habían visto el campo.
+
+Vivían en una casa de huérfanos.
+
+Esperaban poder ir un día al campo.
+
+El señor Blas era un campesino rico
+que tenía una casa muy agradable.
+
+Él deseaba ver niños en ella.
+
+Mandó a varias personas a la ciudad.
+
+Les pidió que le enviasen dos niños
+pobres.
+
+Le enviaron a Jaime y Dolores.
+
+¡Qué felices eran los niños!
+
+Corrían siempre por el campo.
+
+Cogían frutas y flores.
+
+Oían cantar a los pájaros.
+
+Podían ayudar al señor Blas y a su
+señora en muchas cosas.
+
+Jaime aprendió a ordeñar las vacas.
+
+Dolores aprendió a desnatar la leche.
+
+Jaime podía rastrillar el heno.
+
+Dolores también podía rastrillar el
+heno.
+
+Los niños paseaban en la carreta del
+heno.
+
+El señor Blas les dejaba guiar los
+caballos.
+
+Les divertía mucho pasear en coche.
+
+Veían muchas cosas maravillosas.
+
+--¡Qué hermoso mundo es éste!--decían
+ellos.
+
+--No sabíamos antes que fuese tan
+hermoso.
+
+--No volverán a la casa de huérfanos,--dijo
+la señora.
+
+--Se quedarán a vivir con nosotros.
+
+Jaime y Dolores estaban muy contentos.
+
+La madre de Federico le había dicho que
+algunos gusanos se volvían mariposas.
+
+Él quería ver a uno transformarse
+en mariposa.
+
+Un día cogió un gusano en el jardín.
+
+Lo trajo sobre una hoja a su mamá.
+
+Ella le dio una cajita para guardarlo.
+
+Federico le daba a comer hojas frescas
+todos los días.
+
+Poco después el gusano cesó de comer.
+
+Federico creyó que se moriría.
+
+Su mamá le dijo: No, Federico, va
+a dormir.
+
+Cuando se despierte será una mariposa.
+
+El gusano hiló un tejido alrededor
+de su cuerpo.
+
+Estaba pegado a un lado de la caja.
+
+--Se ha muerto, mamá,--dijo Federico.
+
+--No se mueve ni come.
+
+--No se ha muerto,--dijo mamá.
+
+Un día Federico miró la caja.
+
+Vió un insecto de forma extraña.
+
+Sus alas no eran bonitas ni brillantes.
+
+Llamó a su madre para que lo viera.
+
+--Es tu mariposa,--dijo mamá.
+
+---¡Qué extraña y fea es!--dijo
+Federico.
+
+--Yo creía que sería más bonita.
+
+A los pocos momentos empezó a
+moverse y desplegó las alas.
+
+Los colores se volvieron más brillantes.
+
+--¡Oh, qué hermosa!--dijo Federico.
+
+Desplegó sus alas y voló a la ventana.
+
+Federico abrió la ventana y la dejó
+escaparse.
+
+--Ves tú cómo no se había muerto,--dijo
+mamá.
+
+--La mariposa había estado allí siempre.

+
+          James and Dolores were poor children.
+
+          They had never seen the country.
+
+          They lived in an orphan asylum.
+
+          They hoped to go to the country some
+          day.
+
+          Mr. Blas was a rich farmer who had
+          a very pleasant home.
+
+          He wished to see children in it.
+
+          He sent to several people in the city.
+
+          He asked them to send him two
+          poor children.
+
+          They sent him James and Dolores.
+
+          How happy the children were!
+
+          They were always running in the fields.
+
+          They picked fruits and flowers.
+
+          They heard the birds sing.
+
+          They could help Mr. and Mrs. Blas
+          in many ways.
+
+          James learned to milk the cows.
+
+          Dolores learned to skim the milk.
+
+          James could rake the hay.
+
+          Dolores could rake the hay too.
+
+          The children rode on the hay cart.
+
+          Mr. Blas let them drive the horses.
+
+          They enjoyed taking drives about the
+          country very much.
+
+          They saw many wonderful things.
+
+          "What a beautiful world this is!"
+          they said.
+
+          "We didn't know before that it was
+          so beautiful."
+
+          "They shall not go back to the asylum,"
+          said Mrs. Blas.
+
+          "They shall stay to live with us."
+
+          James and Dolores were very glad.
+
+          Fred's mother had told him that
+          some worms turn to butterflies.
+
+          He wanted to see one change to a
+          butterfly.
+
+          One day he got a worm in the garden.
+
+          He carried it to his mamma on a leaf.
+
+          She gave him a box to keep it in.
+
+          Fred gave it fresh leaves to eat every
+          day.
+
+          Pretty soon the worm stopped eating.
+
+          Fred thought it would die.
+
+          His mamma told him, "No, Fred, it
+          is going to sleep.
+
+          When it wakes up it will be a
+          butterfly."
+
+          The worm spun a web round its body.
+
+          It was stuck to one side of the box.
+
+          "It is dead, mamma," said Fred.
+
+          "It does not move nor eat."
+
+          "It is not dead," said mamma.
+
+          One day Fred looked at the box.
+
+          He saw a strange-looking insect.
+
+          Its wings were not pretty or bright.
+
+          He called his mother to see it.
+
+          "It is your butterfly," said mamma.
+
+          "How queer and ugly it is!" said Fred.
+
+          "I thought it would be prettier."
+
+          In a few moments it began to move,
+          and spread out its wings.
+
+          The colors turned brighter.
+
+          "O, how beautiful!" said Fred.
+
+          It spread its wings and flew to the
+          window.
+
+          Fred opened the window and let it
+          fly out.
+
+          "You see it wasn't dead," said mamma.
+
+          "The butterfly had been there all
+          the time."

+
+--¿Qué haré yo sin ti?--dijo él.
+
+--Te escribiré una carta,--contestó
+Inés.
+
+--Te diré lo que estemos haciendo.
+
+--¿Sabes escribir una carta?--dijo
+papá.
+
+--¡Oh! sí, la puedo escribir,--dijo
+Inés.
+
+--Ya tengo siete años.
+
+Verás que puedo escribir una carta.
+
+Inés se divirtió mucho.
+
+Un día dijo ella:--Abuelita, ¿puedo
+tomar una pluma?
+
+Quiero escribir a papá.
+
+--Sí,--dijo su abuela,--en el
+escritorio hay plumas.
+
+Inés corrió al escritorio de su abuelo.
+
+--¡Oh abuelita! aquí hay una pluma
+muy rara.
+
+--Ésta es una pluma de ave,--dijo
+la abuela.
+
+--Tu abuelo la cortó para mí.
+Es una pluma de ganso.
+
+En tiempos pasados todo el mundo
+escribía con plumas de ave.
+
+--Me parece muy bonita,--dijo Inés.
+
+--No creo que pueda escribir con ella.
+
+Tomó otra pluma y se fué.
+
+Al poco tiempo volvió al escritorio.
+
+¿Qué vió allí?
+
+La chiquitina había tomado la pluma
+de ave.
+
+Había escrito con ella a su papá.
+
+¡Y qué carta había escrito!
+
+Había derramado la tinta sobre el
+escritorio.
+
+--¡Oh chiquitina, chiquitina! ¿porqué
+has hecho esto?
+
+Mamá envió la carta de la chiquitina
+a su papá.
+
+Él dijo que se alegraba de recibir
+las dos cartas.

+
+
+MI QUERIDO PAPÁ:
+
+Nos estamos divertiendo mucho. Mi
+abuelito tiene un gran caballo oscuro. Algunas
+veces me monta en el caballo. ¡Es tan divertido!
+Juego mucho en el campo. Mi abuelito me deja
+pasear sobre los montones de yerba. Cojo moras
+para mi abuelita. Nos dan queso con el café.
+Quisiera que estuvieses aquí con nosotros. La
+chiquitina te ha escrito una carta. Cogió la
+pluma de ave de nuestra abuela, y derramó la
+tinta. ¿Puedes leer su carta? Dice que ha
+escrito: ¿Cómo estás, papá? Te quiero mucho.
+
+Tu hijita

+
+          Mamma, Agnes, and baby went to
+          visit grandpa.
+
+          Poor papa could not go.
+
+          He had to stay at home.
+
+          "What shall I do without you?" said he.
+
+          "I will write you a letter," Agnes
+          answered.
+
+          "I will tell you what we are doing."
+
+          "Can you write a letter?" said
+          papa.
+
+          "O yes, I can," said Agnes.
+
+          "I am seven now.
+
+          You shall see that I can write a
+          letter."
+
+          Agnes had a very good time.
+
+          One day she said, "Grandma, may I
+          take a pen?
+
+          I want to write to papa."
+
+          "Yes," said grandma, "there are pens
+          on the desk."
+
+          Agnes ran to grandpa's desk.
+
+          "O grandma! here is such a funny
+          pen!"
+
+          "That is a quill pen," said her
+          grandma.
+
+          "Grandpa made it for me.
+
+          It is a goose quill.
+
+          In old times everybody used to write
+          with quill pens."
+
+          "I think it is very pretty," said
+          Agnes.
+
+          "I don't think I can write with it."
+
+          She took another pen and went off.
+
+          In a little while she went back to
+          the desk.
+
+          What did she see there?
+
+          Baby had taken the quill pen.
+
+          She had been writing to papa with it.
+
+          And what a letter she had written!
+
+          She had spilled the ink over the
+          desk.
+
+          "O baby, baby! what did you do
+          that for?"
+
+          Mamma sent baby's letter to papa.
+
+          He said he was glad to get both
+          Letters.

+
+
+          SITIO GRANDE, JULY 8, 1917.
+
+          DEAR PAPA:
+
+          We are having a very good time.
+          Grandpa has a big bay horse. Sometimes he
+          puts me on the horse's back. It is such fun!
+          I play in the field a great deal. Grandpa lets
+          me walk on the haycocks. I pick berries for
+          grandma. They give us cheese with our coffee.
+          I wish you were here with us. Baby has written
+          you a letter. She took grandma's quill pen,
+          and she spilled the ink. Can you read her
+          letter? She says she wrote "How are you,
+          papa? I love you a great deal."
+
+          Your little girl,
+
+          AGNES.

+Una niña pobre fué a la escuela con

+
+Su vestido era muy viejo.
+
+Su madre no le podía comprar otro

+
+Consuelo se había puesto un nuevo
+delantal blanco.
+
+Se lo puso para ir a la escuela un día.
+
+La pobre Juana la miró.
+
+Hubiera querido tener un delantal
+como aquél.
+
+Cuando Consuelo volvió a casa, se fué
+adonde estaba su mamá.
+
+Y le dijo: Mamá, ¿puedo dar mi
+delantal a Juana?
+
+Su vestido es muy viejo y pobre.
+
+Es una niña tan buena.
+
+Permíteme darle mi delantal.
+
+Su mamá dijo: Sí, puedes dárselo, si
+quieres.
+
+Consuelo dijo a Juana que fuera a
+su casa con ella.
+
+Le regaló el delantal blanco.
+
+La mamá de Consuelo se lo puso a
+Juana.
+
+La pequeña Juana estaba muy contenta.
+
+--Muchas gracias, Consuelo,--dijo
+ella.
+
+--Cubrirá mi vestido viejo.
+
+Nunca me he puesto un delantal tan
+bonito.
+
+Juana se puso el delantal para ir a
+la escuela.
+
+A Consuelo le gustaba verla usándolo.
+
+--No me parecía tan bonito cuando
+yo lo usaba,--se dijo.
+
+--Ahora puedo mirarlo tanto como
+quiera.
+
+Nunca se arrepintió de habérselo
+dado.

+          wore--a'pron--Consue'lo.
+
+
+          A poor girl went to school with
+          Consuelo.
+
+          Her dress was very old.
+
+          Her mother could not buy her another
+          dress.
+
+          Consuelo had put on a new white
+          apron.
+
+          She put it on to go to school one
+          day.
+
+          Poor Jane looked at her.
+
+          She wished she had an apron like that.
+
+          When Consuelo got home, she went
+          where mamma was.
+
+          And she said to her, "Mamma, may
+          I give Jane my apron?
+
+          Her dress is very old and poor.
+
+          She is such a good girl.
+
+          Let me give her my apron."
+
+          Her mamma said, "Yes, you may if
+          you want to."
+
+          Consuelo told Jane to come home
+          with her.
+
+          She gave her the white apron.
+
+          Consuelo's mamma put it on Jane.
+
+          Little Jane was very happy.
+
+          "Thank you very much, Consuelo,"
+          said she.
+
+          "It will cover up my old dress.
+
+          I never had on such a pretty apron."
+
+          Jane wore the apron to school.
+
+          Consuelo liked to see her using it.
+
+          "It did not look so pretty to me when
+          I wore it," she said to herself.
+
+          "Now I can look at it as much as I
+          want to."
+
+          She was never sorry she had given
+          it to Jane.

+

+

+
+          The water passes over our gills.
+
+          That is how we breathe.
+
+          When they take us out of the water
+          we die.
+
+          We cannot breathe air without water.
+
+          I am very sorry for you, little girl.

+
+Un día Carlos vió a un marinero viejo
+sentado debajo de una palma.
+
+El marinero tenía una cotorra.
+
+Carlos nunca había visto cotorras.
+
+La vió trepar sobre el marinero viejo.
+
+Una cotorra trepa con su pico al mismo
+tiempo que lo hace con sus patas.
+
+--¿Cómo está V.?--dijo la cotorra.
+
+A Carlos le sorprendió mucho oir
+hablar a un pájaro.
+
+--¿ Quién es V.?--dijo la cotorra.
+
+Carlos le dijo su nombre.
+
+Al marinero viejo esto le hizo reir.
+
+--¿Quiere V. venderme esa cotorra?
+--preguntó Carlos.
+
+--La venderé por ocho pesos,--dijo
+el marinero.
+
+Carlos corrió hacia su padre con la
+cotorra.
+
+--Aquí está un pájaro que habla,
+--dijo él.
+
+--Hágame el favor de comprármelo,
+papá.
+
+--Yo soy un pájaro hermoso,--dijo
+la cotorra,--déme azúcar.
+
+Al padre de Carlos le pareció el pájaro
+muy bien enseñado.
+
+Lo compró para su niño.
+
+La cotorra fué su gran favorita.

+
+
+          Charles lived near the city of Havana.
+
+          His father had a stock farm.
+
+          Beautiful banana trees grew around
+          the house.
+
+          Charles's father had many horses, oxen,
+          and hogs.
+
+          One day Charles saw an old sailor
+          sitting under a palm tree.
+
+          The sailor had a parrakeet.
+
+          Charles had never seen parrakeets.
+
+          He saw it climb over the old sailor.
+
+          A parrakeet climbs with its bill at
+          the same time as with its feet.
+
+          "How do you do?" said the parrakeet.
+
+          Charles was much surprised to hear
+          a bird talk.
+
+          "Who are you?" said the parrakeet.
+
+          Charles told it his name.
+
+          This made the old sailor laugh.
+
+          "Would you sell me that parrakeet?"
+          asked Charles.
+
+          "I will sell it for eight dollars," said
+          the sailor.
+
+          Charles ran to his father with the
+          parrakeet.
+
+          "Here is a bird that talks," said he.
+
+          "Please buy it for me, papa."
+
+          "I'm a pretty bird," said the parrakeet;
+          "give me some sugar."
+
+          Charles's father thought the bird was
+          very well trained.
+
+          He bought it for his boy.
+
+          The parrakeet was his favorite pet.

+
+          Hundreds of these corals stick themselves

+
+          They grow and branch like little trees.
+
+          The sea urchins, the starfish, and

+
+          Little by little the corals pile up and

+
+          The birds and the waves carry seeds
+          to the island.
+
+          The seeds make roots and grow.

+
+          One day the geese got out.
+
+          Poor old lady! She didn't know what
+          to do.
+
+          She went to the gate and looked
+          toward the road.
+
+          She could not see a single goose.
+
+          She was afraid they were lost.
+
+          Johnny and Kate were playing in
+          the yard next door.
+
+          Miss Matilda asked them if they had
+          seen her geese.
+
+          "I saw them," said Johnny, "they
+          were going toward the pond."
+
+          "Dear! dear!" said Miss Matilda.
+
+          "Do you think they will come back?"
+
+          "We'll go looking for them," said Kate.
+
+          The children went off toward the pond.

+
+          It is a very useful plant.
+
+          Katherine has a rope for her goat.
+
+          The rope is made from the leaves

+          Her mother finds the roots useful.
+
+          She digs them up and dries them.
+
+          Then she uses them for soap.
+
+          She washes Katherine's hair with them.
+
+          Katherine has beautiful black hair.

+          One evening the girls went to walk.
+
+          They were walking near the sheep pen.
+
+          "Look at that strange dog!" said Mary.
+
+          "See what a sharp nose he has!
+
+          His ears are pointed, too.
+
+          See how bushy his tail is!"
+
+          Louise looked at the strange dog
+          and laughed.
+
+          "That is not a dog," she said.
+
+          "That is a coyote. I'll call Turk to
+          drive him away."
+
+          Turk ran after the coyote and barked.
+
+          The coyote ran off very fast.
+
+          In the night Mary heard a strange
+          cry.
+
+          "What is that?" she asked Louise.
+
+          "It is the coyote," said Louise.
+
+          "He is crying for his supper."

+          goats.
+
+          In the summer John takes the goats
+          to the mountains.
+
+          John loves the mountains.
+
+          He has a log house there.
+
+          It is among the trees near a stream.
+
+          Every day the goats climb up the side
+          of the mountain.
+
+          They nibble the grass and the bushes.
+
+          John goes with them up the mountain.
+
+          At night he drives them down again.
+
+          He drives them into a pen.
+
+          There they are safe from harm.
+
+          The goats give rich and sweet milk.
+
+          John drinks the milk for his supper.
+
+          He makes cheese from the milk, too.
+
+          One night a mountain lion jumped into
+          the pen where the goats were.
+
+          He tried to catch a goat.
+
+          John was asleep in his log house.
+
+          When he heard the noise, he ran out
+          with his gun.
+
+          The lion was afraid and ran away.

+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are

+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+

+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:

+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the

+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works

+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free

+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS," WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689

+<p>Puso su largo pico en la taza.</p>

+a los pájaros.</p>
+
+<p>Cantaban para ella así que amanecía.</p>
+
+<p>Ella tomaba una cesta de migajas<br>
+de pan.</p>
+
+<p>Llevaba las migajas a la ventana.</p>
+
+<p>--¡Venid, pajaritos!--decía.</p>
+
+<p>--Mirad lo que tengo para vosotros.</p>
+
+<p>Entonces los pájaros volaban a la<br>
+ventana.</p>
+
+<p>Elena les echaba las migajas para que<br>
+ellos comiesen.</p>
+
+<p>--Aquí hay todo un almuerzo para<br>
+vosotros, pajaritos.</p>
+
+<p>Los pájaros aprendieron a conocer a<br>
+Elena.</p>
+
+<p>Volaban muy cerca de ella.</p>
+
+<p>Elena les daba de comer.</p>
+
+<p>Aprendió los nombres de todos los<br>
+pájaros.</p>
+
+<p>--¡Buenos días, sinsonte!--decía ella.</p><br>
+
+<p>--Y aquí hay un tordo.</p>
+
+<p>Quiero ver tus huevos, sinsonte.</p>
+
+<p>Son muy bonitos tus huevos.</p>
+
+<p>El mayito hace su nido en los prados.</p>
+
+<p>Puedo mirar dentro del nido.</p>
+
+<p>Voy a los prados para verle.</p>
+
+<p>Él nunca viene a verme.</p>

+
+<p>Quisiera que el tren parase aquí.</p>
+
+<p>He visto algunas flores muy lindas.</p>
+
+<p>Allí hay algunos caballos.</p>
+
+<p>¡Mira cómo corren!</p>
+

+
+<p>Mira, mamá, a esos niños.</p>

+<p>Federico creyó que se moriría.</p>
+
+<p>Su mamá le dijo: No, Federico, va<br>
+a dormir.</p>
+
+<p>Cuando se despierte será una mariposa.</p>
+
+<p>El gusano hiló un tejido alrededor<br>
+de su cuerpo.</p>
+
+<p>Estaba pegado a un lado de la caja.</p>
+
+<p>--Se ha muerto, mamá,--dijo Federico.</p>
+
+<p>--No se mueve ni come.</p>
+
+<p>--No se ha muerto,--dijo mamá.</p>
+
+<p>Un día Federico miró la caja.</p>
+
+<p>Vió un insecto de forma extraña.</p>
+
+<p>Sus alas no eran bonitas ni brillantes.</p>
+
+<p>Llamó a su madre para que lo viera.</p>
+
+<p>--Es tu mariposa,--dijo mamá.</p>
+
+<p>--¡Qué extraña y fea es!--dijo Federico.</p>
+
+<p>--Yo creía que sería más bonita.</p>
+
+<p>A los pocos momentos empezó a<br>
+moverse y desplegó las alas.</p>
+
+<p>Los colores se volvieron más brillantes.</p>
+
+<p>--¡Oh, qué hermosa!--dijo Federico.</p>
+
+<p>Desplegó sus alas y voló a la ventana.</p>
+
+<p>Federico abrió la ventana y la dejó<br>
+escaparse.</p>
+
+<p>--Ves tú cómo no se había muerto,--dijo<br>
+mamá.</p>
+
+<p>--La mariposa había estado allí siempre.</p>

+

+

+
+          <p>They heard the birds sing.</p>
+

+

+

+          some worms turn to butterflies.</p>
+
+          <p>He wanted to see one change to a<br>
+          butterfly.</p>
+
+          <p>One day he got a worm in the garden.</p>
+
+          <p>He carried it to his mamma on a leaf.</p>
+
+          <p>She gave him a box to keep it in.</p>
+
+          <p>Fred gave it fresh leaves to eat every<br>

+
+          <p>Pretty soon the worm stopped eating.</p>
+
+          <p>Fred thought it would die.</p>
+
+          <p>His mamma told him, "No, Fred, it<br>
+          is going to sleep.</p>
+
+          <p>When it wakes up it will be a butterfly."</p>
+
+          <p>The worm spun a web round its body.</p><br>
+
+          <p>It was stuck to one side of the box.</p>
+

+

+

+Juego mucho en el campo. Mi abuelito me deja
+pasear sobre los montones de yerba. Cojo moras

+Quisiera que estuvieses aquí con nosotros. La

+          <p>DEAR PAPA:</p>
+
+          <p>We are having a very good time.
+          Grandpa has a big bay horse. Sometimes he
+          puts me on the horse's back. It is such fun!
+          I play in the field a great deal. Grandpa lets
+          me walk on the haycocks. I pick berries for
+          grandma. They give us cheese with our coffee.
+          I wish you were here with us. Baby has written
+          you a letter. She took grandma's quill pen,
+          and she spilled the ink. Can you read her
+          letter? She says she wrote "How are you,

+<p>Carlos vivía cerca de la ciudad de<br>

+
+<p>Su padre tenía un potrero.</p>
+
+<p>Hermosos plátanos crecían alrededor<br>
+de la casa.</p>
+
+<p>El padre de Carlos tenía muchos<br>
+caballos, bueyes y puercos.</p>
+
+<p>Un día Carlos vió a un marinero viejo<br>
+sentado debajo de una palma.</p>
+
+<p>El marinero tenía una cotorra.</p>
+
+<p>Carlos nunca había visto cotorras.</p>
+
+<p>La vió trepar sobre el marinero viejo.</p>
+
+<p>Una cotorra trepa con su pico al mismo<br>
+tiempo que lo hace con sus patas.</p>
+
+<p>--¿Cómo está V.?--dijo la cotorra.</p>
+
+<p>A Carlos le sorprendió mucho oir<br>
+hablar a un pájaro.</p>
+
+<p>--¿ Quién es V.?--dijo la cotorra.</p>
+
+<p>Carlos le dijo su nombre.</p>
+
+<p>Al marinero viejo esto le hizo reir.</p>
+
+<p>--¿Quiere V. venderme esa cotorra?<br>--
+preguntó Carlos.</p>
+
+<p>--La venderé por ocho pesos,--dijo<br>
+el marinero.</p>
+
+<p>Carlos corrió hacia su padre con la<br>
+cotorra.</p>
+
+<p>--Aquí está un pájaro que habla,<br>--
+dijo él.</p>
+
+<p>--Hágame el favor de comprármelo,<br>
+papá.</p>
+
+<p>--Yo soy un pájaro hermoso,--dijo<br>
+la cotorra,--déme azúcar.</p>
+
+<p>Al padre de Carlos le pareció el pájaro<br>
+muy bien enseñado.</p>
+
+<p>Lo compró para su niño.</p>
+
+<p>La cotorra fué su gran favorita.</p>

+
+          <p>One day Charles saw an old sailor<br>
+          sitting under a palm tree.</p>
+

+

+
+          <p>Charles was much surprised to hear<br>
+          a bird talk.</p>
+
+          <p>"Who are you?" said the parrakeet.</p>
+
+          <p>Charles told it his name.</p>
+
+          <p>This made the old sailor laugh.</p>

+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by

+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
+
+An alternative method of locating eBooks:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL

+

+           "Good morning, little Louise!
+           Where are you going with such a
+           handsome doll?"
+
+           "Good morning, grandpa! I am going
+           to see Mary."
+
+           "Why aren't you going to school?"
+
+           "Why, grandpa! To-day is a holiday.
+           We do not have school to-day.
+           Didn't you know?
+           Mary and I are going to play with
+           our dolls.
+           Have you seen my new doll?"
+
+           "No, I don't think I have.
+           Did mamma give you that doll?"
+
+           "Yes, she gave it to me on my
+           birthday.
+           You know I am six years old now."
+
+           "What a pretty doll!
+           Where is your doll's hat?"
+
+           "She hasn't any hat, grandpa."
+
+           "Your poor doll will take cold.
+           Ask grandma to make one for her.

+Ahora �l no tiene ni�as chiquitas.
+
+Mam� era su ni�a chiquita.
+
+Traje a mi mu�eca conmigo.
+
+No pod�a traer el coche de mi mu�eca.
+
+Mam� dijo que era demasiado grande.
+
+Mi abuela me busc� un coche.
+
+Ella dijo que el recogedor servir�a.
+
+Me parece un coche muy raro.
+
+�No se caigan, mu�equitas m�as!
+
+No caer�an de muy alto.
+
+Vamos a ver a Mar�a.
+
+�Mire V.! me est� buscando.
+
+Mar�a y yo vamos a hacer ampollas
+de jab�n.
+
+�Ve V. mi pipa?
+
+La he puesto en la pala.

+          See what a funny carriage my doll
+          has.
+
+          I am at grandpa's house.
+
+          He hasn't any little girls now.
+
+          Mamma was his little girl.
+
+          I brought my doll with me.
+
+          I couldn't bring my doll's carriage.
+
+          Mamma said it was too big.
+
+          Grandma looked for a carriage for
+          me.
+
+          She said that the dustpan would do.
+
+          I think it's a very funny carriage.
+
+          Don't fall off, dollies!
+
+          They wouldn't fall very far.
+
+          We are going to see Mary.
+
+          See! she is looking for me.
+
+          Mary and I are going to blow soap
+          bubbles.
+
+          Do you see my pipe?
+
+          I put it on the dustpan.
+
+          I like to blow soap bubbles.
+
+          They are so pretty!

+
+
+Mam� nos llev� al campo el s�bado
+pasado.
+
+Trajimos nuestra merienda en una cesta.
+Dimos un largo paseo en ferro-carril.
+
+Despu�s llegamos a un campo muy
+bonito.
+
+Anita no pudo venir con nosotras.
+
+Ella est� enferma.
+
+Ahora no puede ir a ninguna parte.
+
+Anita es mi compa�era de juego.
+
+Encontramos unas cuantas violetas
+bonitas.
+
+Hab�a otras flores tambi�n.
+
+Me gustan m�s las violetas.
+
+Encontr� una mata de violetas muy
+bonita.
+
+Dije que me gustar�a que Anita la
+pudiese ver.
+
+--Y la ver�,--dijo mam�.
+
+--Puedes llev�rsela a su casa.
+
+Ella arranc� la planta con su cuchillo.
+
+Yo la llev� a casa de Anita.
+
+�Le di� tanto gusto tenerla!

+
+
+          Mamma took us to the country last
+          Saturday.
+
+          We carried our lunch in a basket.
+
+          We had a long ride on the cars.
+
+          Then we came to a very pretty field.
+
+          Annie couldn't come with us.
+
+          She is sick.
+
+          She can't go anywhere now.
+
+          Annie is my playmate.
+
+          We found some pretty violets.
+
+          There were other flowers too.
+
+          I like the violets best.
+
+          I found a very pretty violet plant.
+
+          I said I wished Annie could see it.
+
+          "So she shall," said mamma.
+
+          "You can take it to her house."
+
+          She took the plant up with her knife.
+
+          I took it to Annie's house.
+
+          She was so glad to have it!

+
+
+Yo soy un mayito.

+Hago mi nido en los prados.
+
+Mira mi hermoso plumaje.
+
+Es blanco y negro.
+
+�Ve V. a mi compa�erita?
+
+Tiene un plumaje oscuro.
+
+A m� me gustan las margaritas y las
+yerbas.
+
+Me balanceo en los jazmines y en
+las zarzas.
+
+Soy tan dichoso y tan alegre.
+
+Vuelo hacia los campos de arroz.
+
+Como todo el arroz que puedo.
+
+Yo creo que el arroz crece para m�.
+
+Cojo insectos, moscas y gusanos.
+
+Y creo que yo podr�a tener arroz
+tambi�n.
+
+En el verano voy al norte.
+
+�Mayito, mayito! �sta es mi canci�n.
+
+Buscame en los prados.

+
+          I am a bobolink.
+
+          I make my nest in the meadows.
+
+          Look at my fine coat of feathers.
+
+          It is black and white.
+
+          Do you see my little mate?
+
+          She has a dress of dark-colored
+          feathers.
+
+          I like the daisies and the grasses.
+
+          I swing on the jasmines and on the
+          blackberry bushes.
+
+          I am so happy and so gay.
+
+          I fly toward the rice fields.
+
+          I eat all the rice I can.
+
+          I think the rice grows for me.
+
+          I catch bugs, flies, and worms.
+
+          And I think I might have rice too.
+
+          In summer I go north.
+
+          Bobolink, bobolink! this is my song.
+
+          Look for me in the meadows.

+�Le gusta a V. nuestro burro?
+
+Se llama Perico.
+
+Perico lleva puestas algunas flores.
+
+Es un burro viejo muy manso.
+
+Le gusta comer cardos.
+
+Encontramos un arroyo muy bonito.
+
+Las lilas crec�an cerca del arroyo.
+
+Atravesamos el arroyo sobre piedras.
+
+Merendamos cerca del arroyo.
+
+Jugamos a la gallina ciega en los
+bosques.
+
+�Cu�nto nos divertimos!
+
+Nuestro burro merend� en el campo.
+
+Comi� todos los cardos y toda la,
+yerba que pudo.
+
+Enrique nos hizo un columpio.
+
+Lo puso en un casta�o grande.
+
+Vamos a coger nueces cuando est�n
+maduras.
+
+�No le gustar�a a V. venir con
+nosotros?

+
+          Do you see all our flowers?
+
+          Do you like our donkey?
+
+          His name is Pete.
+
+          Pete is wearing some flowers.
+
+          He is a very gentle old donkey.
+
+          He likes to eat thistles.
+
+          We found a very pretty brook.
+
+          The lilacs were growing near the
+          brook.
+
+          We crossed the brook on stones.
+
+          We had lunch near the brook.
+
+          We played blind man's buff in the
+          woods.
+
+          What fun we had!
+
+          Our donkey had lunch in the field.
+
+          He ate all the thistles and all the
+          grass he could.
+
+          Henry made us a swing.
+
+          He put it on a big chestnut tree.
+
+          We are going nutting when the nuts
+          are ripe.
+
+          Shouldn't you like to come with us?

+
+No la pican.
+
+A ella le gusta ayudarlas.
+

+
+Una abeja sale de un huevo.
+
+Primeramente es un gusano peque�o.
+
+Las abejas lo alimentan de polen.
+
+Recogen el polen de las flores.
+
+El polen parece polvo amarillo.
+
+El gusano se alimenta durante cinco d�as.
+
+Entonces parece que va a dormir.
+
+Las abejas lo cubren con cera.
+
+Al poco tiempo se despierta.
+
+Sale de su cama de cera.
+
+Es una abeja chiquitina.

+
+          Look at the bees!
+
+          See how they fly to their hives.
+
+          They gather the honey from flowers.
+
+          They put it into their hives.
+
+          Mary likes to watch the bees.
+
+          She likes to see them gather honey.
+
+          They do not sting her.
+
+          She likes to help them.
+
+          Mary picks a pretty flower.
+
+          She takes it to a bee.
+
+          The bee flies toward the flower.
+
+          It does not sting her.
+
+          Mary watches the bee gather honey.
+
+          She wants to see how it does it.
+
+          These are honey bees.

+
+          The bees feed it on pollen.
+
+          They gather the pollen from flowers.
+
+          Pollen looks like yellow dust.
+
+          The worm is fed for five days.
+
+          Then it seems to go to sleep.
+
+          The bees cover it with wax.
+
+          By and by it wakes up.
+

+
+
+Mar�a jugaba en el jard�n un d�a.
+
+Oy� un zumbido fuerte.
+
+Era demasiado fuerte para una abeja.
+
+Era un colibr�.
+
+Mar�a se qued� quieta para mirarlo.
+
+�Qu� bonitas eran sus plumas!
+
+�Qu� aprisa mov�a las alitas!
+
+Ten�a un pico muy largo.
+
+Pod�a llegar con �l al fondo de las

+
+Tiene un nido de musgo.
+
+El nido contiene dos huevecitos.
+
+�Qu� peque�os deben ser los pajaritos!
+
+Mar�a esperaba al colibr� todos los d�as.
+
+Un d�a tom� una de las tazas de su

+
+Puso un poco de az�car y agua en
+la taza.
+
+Despu�s puso la taza en el jard�n.
+
+El colibr� vol� hacia la tacita.
+
+Puso su largo pico en la taza.
+
+Le gust� el agua con az�car.
+
+�Qu� contenta estaba Mar�a!
+
+Ten�a az�car para �l todos los d�as.

+
+
+          Mary played in the garden one day.
+
+          She heard a loud humming.
+
+          It was too loud for a bee.
+
+          It was a humming-bird.
+
+          Mary kept still to watch it.
+
+          How pretty its feathers were!
+
+          How fast it moved its little wings!
+
+          It had a very long bill.
+
+          It could reach to the bottom of the
+          flowers with it.
+
+          The humming-bird eats honey.
+
+          It gathers it from the flowers.
+
+          It is a very little bird.
+
+          It has a nest of moss.
+
+          The nest holds two little eggs.
+
+          How tiny the baby birds must be!
+
+          Mary watched for the humming-bird
+          every day.
+
+          One day she took a doll's cup.
+
+          She put a little sugar and water in
+          the cup.
+
+          Then she put the cup in the garden.
+
+          The humming-bird flew to the cup.
+
+          It put its long bill into the cup.
+
+          It liked the water with sugar.
+
+          How pleased Mary was!
+
+          She had sugar for it every day.

+          He gives me a little of his corn.
+
+          I fill my cheeks with corn.
+
+          Then I carry it to my nest.
+
+          I gather nuts for the winter.

+          In winter I am asleep in the oak
+          tree.
+
+          Sometimes there comes a warm day.
+
+          Then I wake up.
+
+          I come out into the sunshine.
+
+          Then I go back to sleep.
+
+          Some day maybe you will find me in
+          my nest.
+
+          Please do not take away my nuts.
+
+          It was a great deal of work for me
+          to get them.
+
+          I shall need those nuts in the winter.

+

+
+--Duque me ense�� el camino.
+
+--�D�nde est� �l ahora?
+
+--Corri� hacia el bosque.
+Vio all� un conejo peque�o.
+
+--�Oh, querida m�a! Lo asustar�.
+
+--Lo llam�, pero no quiso venir.
+�Ten�is muchas moras en vuestros
+cubos?
+
+--S�, hemos encontrado algunos
+arbustos grandes.
+
+Catalina encontr� un nido mon�simo
+en una rama.
+
+Hay cinco huevos en el nido.
+
+Ven, y te lo ense�aremos.
+
+No cojamos moras en ese arbusto.
+
+Asustar�amos a la madre.
+
+Coge tus moras ahora, Gracia.
+

+

+
+          "How did you find us?"
+
+          "Duke showed me the way."
+
+          "Where is he now?"
+
+          "He ran toward the woods.
+           He saw a little rabbit there."
+
+          "Oh, my dear! He will frighten it."
+
+          "I called him, but he wouldn't come.
+          Have you many berries in your
+          pails?"
+
+          "Yes, we found some big bushes."
+
+          Kate found a dear little nest on a
+          branch.
+
+          There are five eggs in the nest.
+
+          Come, and we will show it to you.
+
+          Let's not pick berries on that bush.
+
+          We should frighten the mother.
+
+          Pick your berries now, Grace.
+
+          Then we will go home."
+
+          "I want to get my cup full for

+

+
+Le gustaba jugar sobre su escritorio.
+
+Sof�a pon�a a veces az�car all� para �l.
+
+El ratoncito la encontraba.
+
+Un d�a mam� lo vio.
+
+Dijo que el gatito deb�a cogerlo.
+
+Sof�a estaba muy triste.
+
+No quer�a que se lo comiese el gatito.
+
+Habl� a pap� del ratoncito.
+
+�l le dio una ratonera peque�ita.
+
+Parec�a una jaula.
+
+El ratoncito pod�a vivir en ella.
+
+Puso az�car en la ratonera.
+
+El ratoncito entr� en la ratonera.
+
+Sof�a lo mimaba mucho.
+
+Le daba de comer todos los d�as.

+
+
+          A little mouse was living in our

+
+          Every night it came out to play.
+
+          It would come into Sophy's room.
+
+          It liked to play on her desk.
+
+          Sophy would put sugar there for it.
+
+          The little mouse would find it.
+
+          One day mamma saw the mouse.
+
+          She said the kitty ought to catch it.
+
+          Sophy was very sorry.
+
+          She didn't want the kitty to eat it.
+
+          She talked to papa about the mouse.
+
+          He gave her a little bit of a trap.
+
+          It looked like a cage.
+
+          The little mouse could live in it.
+
+          He put sugar in the trap.
+
+          The little mouse went into the trap.
+
+          Sophy made a great pet of it.
+
+          She fed it every day.
+
+          She gave it water in her doll's cup.
+
+          The little mouse loves Sophy.
+
+          It is happy in its cage.

+
+--Jugar� con ellas,--dijo Juanita.
+
+--Tres mu�ecas no son demasiado.
+
+�No le gustar�a a V. tener tres ni�as,

+
+A esto pap� no pod�a responder: No.
+
+El padre de Juanita era m�dico.
+
+Iba al hospital todos los d�as.
+
+Un d�a Juanita fu� al hospital con �l.
+
+All� vi� a dos ni�as.
+
+Ten�an que quedarse en cama todo

+
+A Juanita le di� mucha l�stima.
+
+Cuando volvi� a casa, cogi� sus

+
+          What a happy Christmas Day Jennie
+          had!
+
+          She received some pretty presents.
+
+          They gave her three big dolls.
+
+          "Well, Jennie," said papa, "what are
+          you going to do with three dolls?"
+
+          "I will play with them," said Jennie.
+
+          "Three dolls are not too many.
+
+          Shouldn't you like to have three
+          little girls, papa?"
+
+          Papa couldn't answer "no" to that.
+
+          Jennie's father was a doctor.
+
+          He went to the hospital every day.
+
+          One day Jennie went to the hospital
+          with him.
+
+          She saw two little girls there.
+
+          They had to stay in bed all day.
+
+          Jennie was very sorry about it.
+
+          When she went home, she took her
+          dolls.
+
+          She dressed two of them in their
+          prettiest clothes.
+
+          Then she took them to her father.
+
+          "May I make the little girls a present
+          of my dolls?" she asked him.
+
+          "Yes, you may," said papa.
+
+          Jennie took the dolls to the girls.
+
+          See how pleased they are.
+
+          Jennie was very much pleased too.

+

+
+�Est� V. bien esta ma�ana?
+
+--No muy bien,--responde ella.
+
+--Pero me alegro de verte.
+
+Un d�a do�a Florencia di� a Elena

+
+Era un paquetito de semillas.
+
+--Si�mbralas bajo tu ventana,--le

+

+
+Se asomar�n y te mirar�n.
+
+Yo no puedo ir para decirte: Buenos

+
+Las flores lo dir�n por m�.
+
+A Elena le gustaron mucho las semillas.
+
+Las sembr� debajo de su ventana.
+
+Pronto salieron las hojas.
+
+A los pocos d�as brotaron las flores.
+
+Elena cogi� algunas para la anciana.

+
+          Helen is a dear little girl.
+
+          She likes to make the other people
+          happy.
+
+          A poor old lady lives near her.
+
+          Helen goes to see her.
+
+          She says "Good morning, Mrs. Florence.
+          Are you well this morning?"
+
+          "Not very well," she answers.
+
+          "But I am glad to see you."
+
+          One day Mrs. Florence gave Helen a
+          little package.
+
+          It was a little package of seeds.
+
+          "Sow them under your window," she
+          told her.
+
+          "Before long the blossoms will come
+          out.
+
+          They will peep in at you.
+
+          I cannot come to say good morning
+          to you.
+
+          The blossoms will say it for me."
+
+          Helen liked the seeds very much.
+
+          She sowed them underneath her
+          Window.
+
+          Soon the leaves came out.
+
+          In a few days the flowers came.
+
+          Helen picked some for the old lady.
+
+          "I say good morning only once," said
+          Helen.
+
+          "Your flowers say it over and over."

+de pan.
+
+Llevaba las migajas a la ventana.
+
+--�Venid, pajaritos!--dec�a.
+
+--Mirad lo que tengo para vosotros.
+
+Entonces los p�jaros volaban a la
+ventana.
+
+Elena les echaba las migajas para que
+ellos comiesen.
+
+--Aqu� hay todo un almuerzo para
+vosotros, pajaritos.
+
+Los p�jaros aprendieron a conocer a

+
+Volaban muy cerca de ella.
+
+Elena les daba de comer.
+
+Aprendi� los nombres de todos los

+
+          They sang for her as soon as it was
+          light.
+
+          She used to get a basket of bread
+          crumbs.
+
+          She took the crumbs to the window.
+
+          "Come, birdies!" she said.
+
+          "Look what I have for you."
+
+          Then the birds flew to the window.
+
+          Helen threw them the crumbs to eat.
+
+          "Here is a whole breakfast for you,
+          birdies."
+
+          The birds learned to know Helen.
+
+          They would fly very near her.
+
+          Helen would feed them.
+
+          She learned the names of all the
+          birds.
+
+          "Good morning, mocking-bird!" she
+          would say.
+
+          "And here is a thrush".
+
+          I want to see your eggs, mocking-bird.
+
+          Your eggs are very pretty.
+
+          The bobolink makes his nest in the
+          fields.
+
+          I can look into the nest.
+
+          I go to the fields to see him.

+
+Una india se llama una _squaw_.
+
+Un beb� indio se llama un _papoose_.
+
+El _papoose_ estaba atado a una tabla

+
+Mir� a Gilberto con sus ojos vivos.
+
+--�Qu� bonito es!--dijo Gilberto.
+
+La _squaw_ dej� a Gilberto que lo cogiese,
+
+--Mi peque�o _papoose_,--dijo ella.
+
+--Me gustar�a que mam� lo viese,--dijo
+Gilberto.
+
+--�Puedo llev�rselo a mam�?
+
+--No, no te lleves mi _papoose_,--dijo
+la _squaw_.
+
+Gilberto le di� el _papoose_.
+
+Volvi� a ponerlo en el �rbol.
+
+�Qu� sitio tan raro para un ni�o!
+
+El viento puede mecerlo.

+
+
+          Gilbert's father lived far off in the

+
+          One day he took Gilbert to see the
+          Indians.
+
+          One Indian woman had a baby.
+
+          An Indian woman is called a squaw.
+
+          An Indian baby is called a papoose.
+
+          The papoose was tied to a board
+          hanging on a tree.
+
+          It looked at him with its bright eyes.
+
+          "How pretty it is!" said Gilbert.
+
+          The squaw let Gilbert hold it.
+
+          "My little papoose," said she.
+
+          "I should like to have mamma see
+          it," said Gilbert.
+
+          "May I take it to mamma?"
+
+          "No, don't carry off my papoose,"
+          said the squaw.
+
+          Gilbert gave her the papoose.
+
+          She put it back on the tree.
+
+          What a funny place for a baby!
+
+          The wind can rock it.
+
+          The birds can sing to it.
+
+          Do you think your little sister would

+
+No pod�an hablar muy bien.
+
+El indio le ense�� su _wigwam_.
+
+Un _wigwam_ es la casa de un indio.
+
+Es una casita hecha de pieles.
+
+El indio dej� a Gilberto entrar en
+su casa.
+
+Le dio un arco y flechas.
+
+Los indios saben tirar muy bien.
+
+�l ense�� a Gilberto a tirar la flecha.
+
+Gilberto le di� algunas canicas muy

+
+Le ense�� a jugar a las canicas.
+
+El indio puso una canica en el �rbol.
+
+Pod�a tumbarla con su flecha.
+
+Gilberto no pod�a hacer lo mismo.
+
+Su flecha se clav� en el �rbol.

+          He was taking care of a pony.
+
+          Gilbert began to talk with him.
+
+          They couldn't talk very well.
+
+          The Indian showed him his wigwam.
+
+          A wigwam is an Indian's house.
+
+          It is a little house made of skins.
+
+          The Indian let Gilbert go into his
+          house.
+
+          He gave him a bow and arrows.
+
+          Indians can shoot very well.
+
+          He taught Gilbert to shoot an arrow.
+
+          Gilbert gave him some very pretty
+          marbles.
+
+          He showed him how to play marbles.
+
+          The Indian put a marble on the tree.
+
+          He could shoot it off with his arrow.
+
+          Gilbert could not do the same.
+
+          His arrow stuck in the tree.

+
+          He took mamma, Lucy, and Kate for

+
+          The water-lilies were growing in the
+          water.
+
+          "Do you want some lilies?" asked
+          John.
+
+          "O yes!" they all answered.
+
+          John rowed toward where the lilies
+          were.
+
+          "What pretty white lilies!" said Lucy.
+
+          "I must take them home with me."
+
+          She picked as many as she could.
+
+          Kate had her lap full of lilies.
+
+          "How pretty they are!" said she.
+
+          "The leaves are pretty."
+
+          In the lake there were fishes.

+
+
+          Down in a little pool lived some
+          starfish.
+
+          The pool was in a large rock.
+
+          Seaweeds grew in the pool.
+
+          There were pretty sea urchins there.
+
+          They looked like thistle buds.
+
+          Two children played on the rock.
+
+          Their father was a fisherman.
+
+          They lived in an old brown house.
+
+          They ran away from the waves.
+
+          They paddled in the water.
+
+          They liked to look down in the pool.
+
+          One day they saw a pretty starfish.
+
+          The starfish had five arms.
+
+          These arms moved.
+
+          They had little feelers.
+
+          These feelers helped it to move about.
+
+          The mouth was in the middle of the
+          starfish.
+
+          Look at the starfish in the picture.
+
+          In the lower one you see the feelers

+
+          I am looking for material to weave

+
+          I want to use a bit of this bright

+
+          My nest shall be hung for the breeze

+

+
+El ganso viejo quer�a aquel vestido

+
+          He saw the pink dress through the

+
+          The gander wanted that pink dress.
+
+          He put his head through the fence.
+
+          He caught the dress in his big bill.
+
+          Poor Josie was afraid.
+
+          "O Henry, come!" said she.
+
+          "Here is a great big bird.
+          He wants my new dress."
+
+          Henry got a good big stick.
+
+          And he said, "Let her go, you naughty

+          You can't have Josie's dress."
+
+          The old gander let go of the dress.
+
+          He went running out of the yard.
+
+          Josie was glad to see him run away.
+
+          She said "Thank you" to Henry.

+
+
+Diego puso un huevo de pato en un

+
+Un patico se cri� con los pollos.
+
+�Qu� gracioso era el patico!
+
+Los pollos corr�an por todos lados
+y escarbaban la tierra buscando
+gusanos.
+
+El patico no pod�a escarbar tan bien.
+
+Ten�a las patas palmeadas.
+
+Estaban hechas para nadar.
+
+�l quer�a agua para nadar.
+
+Un d�a Enriqueta lo encontr�.
+
+Lo cogi� en sus manos.
+
+--�Qu� tienes, pobre patico?
+
+--�Pip, pip!--dijo el patico.
+
+--�Quieres nadar?--dijo Enriqueta.
+
+--�Pip, pip! S�, que quiero.
+
+--Tendr�s agua.
+
+Enriqueta fu� corriendo a casa.
+
+Trajo agua en una palangana.
+
+Puso la palangana en el zacate.
+
+El patico corri� hacia la palangana.
+
+Le gustaba estar en el agua.
+
+La gallina vieja dijo,--�Clo, clo!
+
+Vas a ahogarte, patico malvado.
+
+Los pollos corrieron hacia la palangana.
+
+Bebieron el agua; pero no pod�an
+nadar.
+
+La gallina ten�a miedo de que se
+ahogasen.
+
+--�Clo, clo!--dijo ella.
+
+--Aqu� est� un gusano gordo.
+
+Entonces los pollos corrieron hacia ella.
+
+El patico se qued� y nad�.
+

+
+
+          James put a duck's egg into a hen's nest.
+
+          A duckling hatched out with the
+          chickens.
+
+          How funny the duckling was!
+
+          The chickens ran every way and
+          scratched for worms.
+
+          The duckling could not scratch so well.
+
+          It had web feet.
+
+          They were made for swimming.
+
+          It wanted water to swim in.
+
+          One day Hattie found it.
+
+          She took it up in her hands.
+
+          "What is the matter, poor ducky?"
+
+          "Peep, peep!" said the duckling.
+
+          "Do you want to swim?" said Hattie.
+
+          "Peep, peep! Yes, I do."
+
+          "You shall have some water."
+
+          Hattie went running to the house.
+
+          She brought some water in a pan.
+
+          She set the pan on the grass.
+
+          The duckling ran to the pan.
+
+          It liked to be in the water.
+
+          The old hen said, "Cluck, cluck!
+
+          You will be drowned, you naughty
+          ducky."
+
+          The chickens ran to the pan.
+
+          They drank the water; but they
+          could not swim.
+
+          The hen was afraid that they would
+          drown.
+
+          "Cluck, cluck!" said she.
+
+          "Here is a big worm."
+
+          Then the chickens ran to her.
+
+          The duckling stayed and swam.
+
+          It would have liked it if the chickens
+          could swim too.
+
+          All swimming birds have web feet.

+
+          They looked like little stars.
+
+          "I must catch one of those stars,"
+          said he.
+
+          The lights did not keep still.
+
+          Sometimes they did not shine.
+
+          "Where do you go?" said Robert.
+
+          "Does the wind blow you out?
+
+          I think you are fairy lanterns.
+
+          I will ask mamma what you are."
+
+          Then he ran to his house.
+
+          "Mamma, the field is full of little

+          They do not always shine.
+          Please come and tell me what they

+
+          "They are fireflies, Robert," said his

+
+          "I will try to catch one for you."
+
+          She caught one and put it in Robert's

+

+
+          I am a sun fairy.
+
+          My name is Ray of Light.
+
+          My home is in the sun.
+
+          I glide along its rays.
+
+          The flowers wake up when I touch them.
+
+          In the morning I wake the birds.
+
+          Their home is in the tree-tops.
+
+          When they see me they begin to
+          sing.
+
+          I open the lilies on the lake.
+
+          I bring the lily buds up from under
+          water.
+
+         When I touch the seeds the plants
+         sprout.
+
+         I kiss the fruit, ripen it, and make
+         it sweet.
+
+         I drink the morning dew.
+
+         I carry water to the clouds.
+
+         Some days the rain fairies come.
+
+         Then you do not see me.
+
+         You need the things the rain fairies
+         do for you.
+
+         They water the lovely flowers.
+
+         Nothing could grow without them.

+
+          What a good time they have!
+
+          They are not dark or heavy now.
+
+          They shine and are bright with colors.
+
+          Some are red, others orange, and some
+          of them yellow.
+
+          There are others green, blue, indigo,
+          or violet.
+
+          They form a path across the sky.
+
+          This path is called a rainbow.
+
+          It is formed by the sun and the drops
+          of water.
+
+          Each drop of water helps form it.
+
+          The clouds are dark by themselves.

+
+          There is an old man who sells candy.
+
+          One day we took baby there.
+
+          We let her buy some candy.
+
+          She gave the old man a cent and he
+          gave her some candy.
+
+          The other day we found her in the street.
+
+          She had put on her cap and cloak.
+
+          She had her doll in one hand.
+
+          "Why, baby! where are you going?" said I.
+
+          "To buy candy!" the baby answered.
+
+          "Why do you take the doll?"
+
+          "The doll wants candy too."
+
+          "You cannot buy candy, dear.
+          You haven't any cent."
+
+          "Yes, yes, see my cent."
+
+          What do you think she had?
+
+          She had a button.
+
+          She was going to buy candy with a button.
+
+          Wasn't baby funny?
+
+          I think the old man would have given
+          her some candy.
+
+          He is a very kind man.

+
+          "I can buy lots of candy with ten

+
+          She has been sick a long time.

+
+          Please give me one that has buds.
+
+          I want to give it to a sick girl."
+

+          All the ducks in the yard were there.
+
+          They all went swimming in the river.
+
+          They found a quiet place.
+
+          "We will have our lunch here," said

+
+          "There are a great many insects

+          It is a first-rate place to find food."
+
+          And she plunged into the water head
+          first.
+
+          And into the water plunged the other
+          ducks too.
+
+          And then they came up again.
+
+          Ducks have large flat beaks.
+
+          They fill their beaks with mud.
+
+          In the mud there are insects.
+
+          What a good time ducks have!
+
+          Some old frogs were sitting near

+
+          They looked at the ducks swimming
+          all around.
+
+          "How queer ducks are!" they said.
+
+          "How are you, Mrs. Duck?" said one
+          of the frogs.
+
+          "Do you live in the water all the
+          time?"
+
+          "No indeed," said Mrs. Duck.
+
+          "Our home is at the farm.
+          We have a house like people."
+
+          "Well! well! why do they make you

+
+          They don't make a house for us."
+
+          "We lay eggs for the people," said
+          Mrs. Duck.
+
+          "And so do we lay eggs," said the
+          frog.
+
+          "You lay your eggs in the water.

+Los ni�os paseaban en la carreta del

+
+El se�or Blas les dejaba guiar los
+caballos.
+
+Les divert�a mucho pasear en coche.
+
+Ve�an muchas cosas maravillosas.
+
+--�Qu� hermoso mundo es �ste!--dec�an
+ellos.
+
+--No sab�amos antes que fuese tan
+hermoso.
+
+--No volver�n a la casa de hu�rfanos,--dijo
+la se�ora.
+
+--Se quedar�n a vivir con nosotros.
+
+Jaime y Dolores estaban muy contentos.
+
+La madre de Federico le hab�a dicho que
+algunos gusanos se volv�an mariposas.
+
+�l quer�a ver a uno transformarse
+en mariposa.
+
+Un d�a cogi� un gusano en el jard�n.
+
+Lo trajo sobre una hoja a su mam�.
+
+Ella le dio una cajita para guardarlo.
+
+Federico le daba a comer hojas frescas
+todos los d�as.
+
+Poco despu�s el gusano ces� de comer.
+
+Federico crey� que se morir�a.
+
+Su mam� le dijo: No, Federico, va
+a dormir.
+
+Cuando se despierte ser� una mariposa.
+
+El gusano hil� un tejido alrededor
+de su cuerpo.
+
+Estaba pegado a un lado de la caja.
+
+--Se ha muerto, mam�,--dijo Federico.
+
+--No se mueve ni come.
+
+--No se ha muerto,--dijo mam�.
+
+Un d�a Federico mir� la caja.
+
+Vi� un insecto de forma extra�a.
+
+Sus alas no eran bonitas ni brillantes.
+
+Llam� a su madre para que lo viera.
+
+--Es tu mariposa,--dijo mam�.
+
+---�Qu� extra�a y fea es!--dijo
+Federico.
+
+--Yo cre�a que ser�a m�s bonita.
+
+A los pocos momentos empez� a
+moverse y despleg� las alas.
+
+Los colores se volvieron m�s brillantes.
+
+--�Oh, qu� hermosa!--dijo Federico.
+
+Despleg� sus alas y vol� a la ventana.
+
+Federico abri� la ventana y la dej�
+escaparse.
+
+--Ves t� c�mo no se hab�a muerto,--dijo
+mam�.
+
+--La mariposa hab�a estado all� siempre.

+
+          James and Dolores were poor children.
+
+          They had never seen the country.
+
+          They lived in an orphan asylum.
+
+          They hoped to go to the country some
+          day.
+
+          Mr. Blas was a rich farmer who had
+          a very pleasant home.
+
+          He wished to see children in it.
+
+          He sent to several people in the city.
+
+          He asked them to send him two
+          poor children.
+
+          They sent him James and Dolores.
+
+          How happy the children were!
+
+          They were always running in the fields.
+
+          They picked fruits and flowers.
+
+          They heard the birds sing.
+
+          They could help Mr. and Mrs. Blas
+          in many ways.
+
+          James learned to milk the cows.
+
+          Dolores learned to skim the milk.
+
+          James could rake the hay.
+
+          Dolores could rake the hay too.
+
+          The children rode on the hay cart.
+
+          Mr. Blas let them drive the horses.
+
+          They enjoyed taking drives about the
+          country very much.
+
+          They saw many wonderful things.
+
+          "What a beautiful world this is!"
+          they said.
+
+          "We didn't know before that it was
+          so beautiful."
+
+          "They shall not go back to the asylum,"
+          said Mrs. Blas.
+
+          "They shall stay to live with us."
+
+          James and Dolores were very glad.
+
+          Fred's mother had told him that
+          some worms turn to butterflies.
+
+          He wanted to see one change to a
+          butterfly.
+
+          One day he got a worm in the garden.
+
+          He carried it to his mamma on a leaf.
+
+          She gave him a box to keep it in.
+
+          Fred gave it fresh leaves to eat every
+          day.
+
+          Pretty soon the worm stopped eating.
+
+          Fred thought it would die.
+
+          His mamma told him, "No, Fred, it
+          is going to sleep.
+
+          When it wakes up it will be a
+          butterfly."
+
+          The worm spun a web round its body.
+
+          It was stuck to one side of the box.
+
+          "It is dead, mamma," said Fred.
+
+          "It does not move nor eat."
+
+          "It is not dead," said mamma.
+
+          One day Fred looked at the box.
+
+          He saw a strange-looking insect.
+
+          Its wings were not pretty or bright.
+
+          He called his mother to see it.
+
+          "It is your butterfly," said mamma.
+
+          "How queer and ugly it is!" said Fred.
+
+          "I thought it would be prettier."
+
+          In a few moments it began to move,
+          and spread out its wings.
+
+          The colors turned brighter.
+
+          "O, how beautiful!" said Fred.
+
+          It spread its wings and flew to the
+          window.
+
+          Fred opened the window and let it
+          fly out.
+
+          "You see it wasn't dead," said mamma.
+
+          "The butterfly had been there all
+          the time."

+
+--S�,--dijo su abuela,--en el

+
+In�s corri� al escritorio de su abuelo.
+
+--�Oh abuelita! aqu� hay una pluma

+
+--�sta es una pluma de ave,--dijo

+
+--Tu abuelo la cort� para m�.
+Es una pluma de ganso.
+
+En tiempos pasados todo el mundo
+escrib�a con plumas de ave.
+
+--Me parece muy bonita,--dijo In�s.
+
+--No creo que pueda escribir con ella.
+
+Tom� otra pluma y se fu�.
+
+Al poco tiempo volvi� al escritorio.
+
+�Qu� vi� all�?
+
+La chiquitina hab�a tomado la pluma
+de ave.
+
+Hab�a escrito con ella a su pap�.
+
+�Y qu� carta hab�a escrito!
+
+Hab�a derramado la tinta sobre el

+
+--�Oh chiquitina, chiquitina! �porqu�

+
+
+MI QUERIDO PAP�:
+
+Nos estamos divertiendo mucho. Mi
+abuelito tiene un gran caballo oscuro. Algunas
+veces me monta en el caballo. �Es tan divertido!
+Juego mucho en el campo. Mi abuelito me deja
+pasear sobre los montones de yerba. Cojo moras
+para mi abuelita. Nos dan queso con el caf�.
+Quisiera que estuvieses aqu� con nosotros. La
+chiquitina te ha escrito una carta. Cogi� la
+pluma de ave de nuestra abuela, y derram� la
+tinta. �Puedes leer su carta? Dice que ha
+escrito: �C�mo est�s, pap�? Te quiero mucho.

+Tu hijita

+
+          Mamma, Agnes, and baby went to
+          visit grandpa.
+
+          Poor papa could not go.
+
+          He had to stay at home.
+
+          "What shall I do without you?" said he.
+
+          "I will write you a letter," Agnes
+          answered.
+
+          "I will tell you what we are doing."
+
+          "Can you write a letter?" said
+          papa.
+
+          "O yes, I can," said Agnes.
+
+          "I am seven now.
+
+          You shall see that I can write a
+          letter."
+
+          Agnes had a very good time.
+
+          One day she said, "Grandma, may I
+          take a pen?
+
+          I want to write to papa."
+
+          "Yes," said grandma, "there are pens
+          on the desk."
+
+          Agnes ran to grandpa's desk.
+
+          "O grandma! here is such a funny
+          pen!"
+
+          "That is a quill pen," said her
+          grandma.
+
+          "Grandpa made it for me.
+
+          It is a goose quill.
+
+          In old times everybody used to write
+          with quill pens."
+
+          "I think it is very pretty," said
+          Agnes.
+
+          "I don't think I can write with it."
+
+          She took another pen and went off.
+
+          In a little while she went back to
+          the desk.
+
+          What did she see there?
+
+          Baby had taken the quill pen.
+
+          She had been writing to papa with it.
+
+          And what a letter she had written!
+
+          She had spilled the ink over the
+          desk.
+
+          "O baby, baby! what did you do
+          that for?"
+
+          Mamma sent baby's letter to papa.
+
+          He said he was glad to get both
+          Letters.

+          AGNES'S LETTER TO HER FATHER.
+
+
+          SITIO GRANDE, JULY 8, 1917.
+
+          DEAR PAPA:
+
+          We are having a very good time.
+          Grandpa has a big bay horse. Sometimes he
+          puts me on the horse's back. It is such fun!
+          I play in the field a great deal. Grandpa lets
+          me walk on the haycocks. I pick berries for
+          grandma. They give us cheese with our coffee.
+          I wish you were here with us. Baby has written
+          you a letter. She took grandma's quill pen,
+          and she spilled the ink. Can you read her
+          letter? She says she wrote "How are you,
+          papa? I love you a great deal."
+
+          Your little girl,
+
+          AGNES.

+
+
+Una ni�a pobre fu� a la escuela con
+Consuelo.
+
+Su vestido era muy viejo.
+
+Su madre no le pod�a comprar otro
+vestido.
+
+Consuelo se hab�a puesto un nuevo
+delantal blanco.
+
+Se lo puso para ir a la escuela un d�a.
+
+La pobre Juana la mir�.
+
+Hubiera querido tener un delantal
+como aqu�l.
+
+Cuando Consuelo volvi� a casa, se fu�
+adonde estaba su mam�.
+
+Y le dijo: Mam�, �puedo dar mi
+delantal a Juana?
+
+Su vestido es muy viejo y pobre.
+
+Es una ni�a tan buena.
+
+Perm�teme darle mi delantal.
+
+Su mam� dijo: S�, puedes d�rselo, si
+quieres.
+
+Consuelo dijo a Juana que fuera a
+su casa con ella.
+
+Le regal� el delantal blanco.
+
+La mam� de Consuelo se lo puso a
+Juana.
+
+La peque�a Juana estaba muy contenta.
+
+--Muchas gracias, Consuelo,--dijo
+ella.
+
+--Cubrir� mi vestido viejo.
+
+Nunca me he puesto un delantal tan
+bonito.
+
+Juana se puso el delantal para ir a
+la escuela.
+
+A Consuelo le gustaba verla us�ndolo.
+
+--No me parec�a tan bonito cuando
+yo lo usaba,--se dijo.
+
+--Ahora puedo mirarlo tanto como
+quiera.
+
+Nunca se arrepinti� de hab�rselo
+dado.
+
+
+          wore--a'pron--Consue'lo.
+
+
+          A poor girl went to school with
+          Consuelo.
+
+          Her dress was very old.
+
+          Her mother could not buy her another
+          dress.
+
+          Consuelo had put on a new white
+          apron.
+
+          She put it on to go to school one
+          day.
+
+          Poor Jane looked at her.
+
+          She wished she had an apron like that.
+
+          When Consuelo got home, she went
+          where mamma was.
+
+          And she said to her, "Mamma, may
+          I give Jane my apron?
+
+          Her dress is very old and poor.
+
+          She is such a good girl.
+
+          Let me give her my apron."
+
+          Her mamma said, "Yes, you may if
+          you want to."
+
+          Consuelo told Jane to come home
+          with her.
+
+          She gave her the white apron.
+
+          Consuelo's mamma put it on Jane.
+
+          Little Jane was very happy.
+
+          "Thank you very much, Consuelo,"
+          said she.
+
+          "It will cover up my old dress.
+
+          I never had on such a pretty apron."
+
+          Jane wore the apron to school.
+
+          Consuelo liked to see her using it.
+
+          "It did not look so pretty to me when
+          I wore it," she said to herself.
+
+          "Now I can look at it as much as I
+          want to."
+
+          She was never sorry she had given
+          it to Jane.

+

+          little fishes?
+
+          I could not breathe in the

+
+          "You have lungs, little girl.

+
+          We breathe with our gills.
+
+          The gills are on both sides of our

+
+          There is a little air in water.
+
+          We take water into our mouths.
+
+          The water passes over our gills.
+
+          That is how we breathe.
+
+          When they take us out of the water
+          we die.
+
+          We cannot breathe air without water.
+
+          I am very sorry for you, little girl.
+
+          I wish you could live in the water.
+

+          His father had a stock farm.
+
+          Beautiful banana trees grew around
+          the house.
+
+          Charles's father had many horses, oxen,
+          and hogs.
+
+          One day Charles saw an old sailor
+          sitting under a palm tree.
+
+          The sailor had a parrakeet.
+
+          Charles had never seen parrakeets.
+
+          He saw it climb over the old sailor.
+
+          A parrakeet climbs with its bill at
+          the same time as with its feet.
+
+          "How do you do?" said the parrakeet.
+
+          Charles was much surprised to hear
+          a bird talk.
+
+          "Who are you?" said the parrakeet.
+
+          Charles told it his name.
+
+          This made the old sailor laugh.
+
+          "Would you sell me that parrakeet?"
+          asked Charles.
+
+          "I will sell it for eight dollars," said
+          the sailor.
+
+          Charles ran to his father with the
+          parrakeet.
+

+          "Please buy it for me, papa."
+
+          "I'm a pretty bird," said the parrakeet;
+          "give me some sugar."
+
+          Charles's father thought the bird was
+          very well trained.
+
+          He bought it for his boy.
+
+          The parrakeet was his favorite pet.

+

+

+

+
+          The brooklets run together.

+El coral parece una planta con ramas,

+
+En los arrecifes de la Florida se

+
+Se pueden ver en el agua.

+
+Parecen ser tan dichosos como los

+El coral es una especie de animal.
+
+Cientos de estos corales se pegan en

+
+Crecen y se ramifican como �rboles
+peque�os.
+
+Los erizos, las estrellas de mar y otros
+animales se guarecen entre ellos.
+
+Poco a poco se amontonan los corales
+unos sobre otros y se forma una isla.
+
+Los p�jaros y las olas traen semillas
+a la isla.
+
+Las semillas echan ra�ces y crecen.

+
+          On the reefs lie beautiful seaweeds
+          and shells.
+
+          Coral is found there.
+
+          Coral looks like a plant with branches,
+          leaves, and flowers.
+
+          Beds of coral are found on the Florida
+          Reefs.
+
+          They can be seen in the water.
+
+          How the bright-colored fishes swim
+          about there!
+
+          They look as happy as the birds in
+          the trees.
+
+          The coral is a sort of animal.
+
+          Hundreds of these corals stick themselves
+          to the sea-bottom.
+
+          They grow and branch like little trees.
+
+          The sea urchins, the starfish, and
+          other animals take shelter among
+          them.
+
+          Little by little the corals pile up and
+          an island is formed.
+
+          The birds and the waves carry seeds
+          to the island.
+
+          The seeds make roots and grow.
+
+          Many years afterward people come to
+          live on some of these islands.

+
+
+          Old Miss Matilda had a flock of geese.
+
+          She was fond of her geese and took
+          great care of them.
+
+          One day the geese got out.
+
+          Poor old lady! She didn't know what
+          to do.
+
+          She went to the gate and looked
+          toward the road.
+
+          She could not see a single goose.
+
+          She was afraid they were lost.
+
+          Johnny and Kate were playing in
+          the yard next door.
+
+          Miss Matilda asked them if they had
+          seen her geese.
+
+          "I saw them," said Johnny, "they
+          were going toward the pond."
+
+          "Dear! dear!" said Miss Matilda.
+
+          "Do you think they will come back?"
+
+          "We'll go looking for them," said Kate.
+
+          The children went off toward the pond.
+
+          Johnny saw the geese almost as soon
+          as he came near the pond.

+Nos gusta verla brillar en el sol.
+
+Les gusta a las abejas y a las polillas.
+
+Ellas cogen comida de sus capullos.
+
+La planta de la yuca tiene hojas largas
+y puntiagudas.
+
+Es una planta muy �til.
+
+Catalina tiene una soga para su cabra.
+
+La soga est� hecha de las hojas y de

+
+El fruto de la yuca es bueno para comer.
+

+

+
+          Do you know what it is?
+
+          It is the flower of the yucca.
+
+          We like to see it shining in the sun.
+
+          The bees and the moths like it.
+
+          They gather food from its blossoms.
+
+          The yucca plant has long and pointed
+          leaves.
+
+          It is a very useful plant.
+
+          Katherine has a rope for her goat.
+
+          The rope is made from the leaves
+          and the stems of the yucca.
+
+          Her mother finds the roots useful.
+
+          She digs them up and dries them.
+
+          Then she uses them for soap.
+
+          She washes Katherine's hair with them.
+
+          Katherine has beautiful black hair.
+
+          The yucca makes it soft and glossy.
+
+          The fruit of the yucca is good to eat.
+
+          Katherine's mother cooks the fruit.
+
+          "How beautiful the yucca is!" the
+          children say.
+
+          "How useful it is!" says their mother.
+
+          "We are all glad to see the yucca
+          plant."

+
+Cuando pap� lleg� a la acequia estaba

+
+          "You may take your hoe," said
+          papa.
+
+          "I will take the big shovel."
+
+          Paul and papa walked through the
+          alfalfa.
+
+          "The blossoms are sweet," said Paul.
+
+          "Yes," said papa, "the bees know it.
+
+          See this one gathering honey."
+
+          When papa came to the ditch it was full
+          of clear water from the mountains.
+
+          "Open the gate, Paul," said papa.
+
+          Paul opened the gate quickly.
+
+          The water ran into the alfalfa field.
+
+          Paul and papa worked all day.
+
+          At night they were very tired, but
+          the field was irrigated.
+
+          "How fresh and green the alfalfa
+          looks!" said Paul.
+
+          "I am glad we gave it some water."
+
+          "Yes," said papa. "It would die without
+          the water."
+
+          "I like the water, too!" said Paul.

+
+La ni�ita de la ciudad no hab�a estado

+
+Le gustaba ver jugar a los corderos.
+
+Una tarde las ni�as fueron a pasear.
+
+Estaban paseando cerca del redil de

+
+--Mira a ese perro extra�o,--dijo Mar�a.
+
+--Mira qu� nariz tan afilada tiene.
+
+Sus orejas son puntiagudas tambi�n.
+
+Mira qu� peluda es su cola.
+
+Luisa mir� al perro extra�o y se ri�.
+
+--�se no es un perro,--dijo ella.
+
+--�se es un coyote. Llamar� a Turco
+para que le eche fuera.
+
+Turco corri� ladrando tras el coyote.
+
+El coyote se alej� muy de prisa.
+
+Por la noche Mar�a oy� un aullido

+
+--�Qu� es eso?--le pregunt� a Luisa.
+
+--�se es el coyote,--dijo Luisa.

+
+          Louise lives on a ranch in the country.
+
+          On the ranch are many sheep.
+
+          One day Mary went to visit Louise.
+
+          The little city girl had never been
+          in the country before.
+
+          She liked to see the lambs play.
+
+          One evening the girls went to walk.
+
+          They were walking near the sheep pen.
+
+          "Look at that strange dog!" said Mary.
+
+          "See what a sharp nose he has!
+
+          His ears are pointed, too.
+
+          See how bushy his tail is!"
+
+          Louise looked at the strange dog
+          and laughed.
+
+          "That is not a dog," she said.
+
+          "That is a coyote. I'll call Turk to
+          drive him away."
+
+          Turk ran after the coyote and barked.
+
+          The coyote ran off very fast.
+
+          In the night Mary heard a strange
+          cry.
+
+          "What is that?" she asked Louise.
+
+          "It is the coyote," said Louise.
+
+          "He is crying for his supper."

+
+En el verano Juan lleva las cabras

+
+A Juan le gustan las monta�as.
+
+�l tiene all� una r�stica caba�a.
+
+Est� entre los �rboles cerca de un arroyo.
+
+Todos los d�as las cabras trepan por

+
+Ellas comen zacate y matojos.
+
+Juan va con ellas a la monta�a.
+
+Por la noche las gu�a abajo de nuevo.
+
+Las gu�a al redil.
+
+All� ellas est�n seguras del peligro.
+
+La cabra da rica y dulce leche.
+
+Juan bebe leche para la cena.

+
+Una noche un le�n salt� dentro del

+
+          His home is in a green valley.
+
+          John's father has many goats on his
+          ranch.
+
+          John helps his father care for the
+          goats.
+
+          In the summer John takes the goats
+          to the mountains.
+
+          John loves the mountains.
+
+          He has a log house there.
+
+          It is among the trees near a stream.
+
+          Every day the goats climb up the side
+          of the mountain.
+
+          They nibble the grass and the bushes.
+
+          John goes with them up the mountain.
+
+          At night he drives them down again.
+
+          He drives them into a pen.
+
+          There they are safe from harm.
+
+          The goats give rich and sweet milk.
+
+          John drinks the milk for his supper.
+
+          He makes cheese from the milk, too.
+
+          One night a mountain lion jumped into
+          the pen where the goats were.
+
+          He tried to catch a goat.
+
+          John was asleep in his log house.
+
+          When he heard the noise, he ran out
+          with his gun.
+
+          The lion was afraid and ran away.

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE

+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS," WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
+
+An alternative method of locating eBooks:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL

+
+           "Good morning, grandpa! I am going

+
+           "Why aren't you going to school?"
+
+           "Why, grandpa! To-day is a holiday.

+           You know I am six years old now."
+
+           "What a pretty doll!

+
+Mama dijo que era demasiado grande.
+
+Mi abuela me busco un coche.

+
+          He hasn't any little girls now.
+
+          Mamma was his little girl.
+
+          I brought my doll with me.
+
+          I couldn't bring my doll's carriage.
+
+          Mamma said it was too big.
+
+          Grandma looked for a carriage for
+          me.
+
+          She said that the dustpan would do.
+
+          I think it's a very funny carriage.
+
+          Don't fall off, dollies!
+
+          They wouldn't fall very far.
+
+          We are going to see Mary.
+
+          See! she is looking for me.
+
+          Mary and I are going to blow soap
+          bubbles.
+
+          Do you see my pipe?
+
+          I put it on the dustpan.

+
+          Then we came to a very pretty field.
+
+          Annie couldn't come with us.
+
+          She is sick.
+
+          She can't go anywhere now.
+
+          Annie is my playmate.
+
+          We found some pretty violets.
+
+          There were other flowers too.
+
+          I like the violets best.
+
+          I found a very pretty violet plant.

+          I said I wished Annie could see it.
+
+          "So she shall," said mamma.
+
+          "You can take it to her house."
+
+          She took the plant up with her knife.
+
+          I took it to Annie's house.
+
+          She was so glad to have it!

+

+

+
+          I eat all the rice I can.
+
+          I think the rice grows for me.
+
+          I catch bugs, flies, and worms.
+
+          And I think I might have rice too.
+
+          In summer I go north.

+
+          He likes to eat thistles.
+
+          We found a very pretty brook.
+
+          The lilacs were growing near the
+          brook.
+
+          We crossed the brook on stones.
+
+          We had lunch near the brook.
+

+
+          What fun we had!
+
+          Our donkey had lunch in the field.
+
+          He ate all the thistles and all the

+
+          Henry made us a swing.
+
+          He put it on a big chestnut tree.

+
+          It was a humming-bird.
+
+          Mary kept still to watch it.
+
+          How pretty its feathers were!
+
+          How fast it moved its little wings!
+
+          It had a very long bill.
+
+          It could reach to the bottom of the
+          flowers with it.
+
+          The humming-bird eats honey.
+
+          It gathers it from the flowers.
+
+          It is a very little bird.
+
+          It has a nest of moss.
+
+          The nest holds two little eggs.
+
+          How tiny the baby birds must be!
+
+          Mary watched for the humming-bird
+          every day.
+
+          One day she took a doll's cup.
+
+          She put a little sugar and water in

+
+          Then she put the cup in the garden.
+
+          The humming-bird flew to the cup.

+          It put its long bill into the cup.
+
+          It liked the water with sugar.

+
+          Kate found a dear little nest on a

+
+          There are five eggs in the nest.

+          Come, and we will show it to you.

+          We should frighten the mother.

+          He gave her a little bit of a trap.
+
+          It looked like a cage.
+
+          The little mouse could live in it.
+
+          He put sugar in the trap.
+
+          The little mouse went into the trap.
+
+          Sophy made a great pet of it.
+
+          She fed it every day.
+
+          She gave it water in her doll's cup.

+          She received some pretty presents.
+
+          They gave her three big dolls.
+
+          "Well, Jennie," said papa, "what are
+          you going to do with three dolls?"
+
+          "I will play with them," said Jennie.
+
+          "Three dolls are not too many.
+
+          Shouldn't you like to have three
+          little girls, papa?"
+
+          Papa couldn't answer "no" to that.
+
+          Jennie's father was a doctor.
+
+          He went to the hospital every day.
+
+          One day Jennie went to the hospital
+          with him.
+
+          She saw two little girls there.
+
+          They had to stay in bed all day.
+
+          Jennie was very sorry about it.
+
+          When she went home, she took her
+          dolls.
+
+          She dressed two of them in their
+          prettiest clothes.
+
+          Then she took them to her father.
+
+          "May I make the little girls a present
+          of my dolls?" she asked him.
+
+          "Yes, you may," said papa.
+
+          Jennie took the dolls to the girls.

+          Helen is a dear little girl.
+
+          She likes to make the other people
+          happy.
+
+          A poor old lady lives near her.
+
+          Helen goes to see her.
+
+          She says "Good morning, Mrs. Florence.
+          Are you well this morning?"
+
+          "Not very well," she answers.
+
+          "But I am glad to see you."
+
+          One day Mrs. Florence gave Helen a
+          little package.
+
+          It was a little package of seeds.
+
+          "Sow them under your window," she
+          told her.
+
+          "Before long the blossoms will come
+          out.
+
+          They will peep in at you.
+
+          I cannot come to say good morning
+          to you.
+
+          The blossoms will say it for me."
+
+          Helen liked the seeds very much.
+
+          She sowed them underneath her
+          Window.
+
+          Soon the leaves came out.
+
+          In a few days the flowers came.
+
+          Helen picked some for the old lady.
+
+          "I say good morning only once," said
+          Helen.
+
+          "Your flowers say it over and over."
+
+
+
+
+amanecia--migajas--echaba--tordo.
+
+
+Elena daba los buenos dias tambien
+a los pajaros.
+
+Cantaban para ella asi que amanecia.
+
+Ella tomaba una cesta de migajas
+de pan.
+
+Llevaba las migajas a la ventana.
+
+--iVenid, pajaritos!--decia.
+
+--Mirad lo que tengo para vosotros.
+
+Entonces los pajaros volaban a la
+ventana.
+
+Elena les echaba las migajas para que
+ellos comiesen.
+
+--Aqui hay todo un almuerzo para
+vosotros, pajaritos.
+
+Los pajaros aprendieron a conocer a
+Elena.
+
+Volaban muy cerca de ella.
+
+Elena les daba de comer.
+
+Aprendio los nombres de todos los
+pajaros.
+
+--iBuenos dias, sinsonte!--decia ella.
+
+--Y aqui hay un tordo.
+
+Quiero ver tus huevos, sinsonte.
+
+Son muy bonitos tus huevos.
+
+El mayito hace su nido en los prados.
+
+Puedo mirar dentro del nido.
+
+Voy a los prados para verle.
+
+El nunca viene a verme.
+
+
+          crumbs--learned--near--mock'ing.
+
+
+          Helen used to say good morning to
+          the birds too.
+
+          They sang for her as soon as it was
+          light.
+
+          She used to get a basket of bread
+          crumbs.
+
+          She took the crumbs to the window.
+
+          "Come, birdies!" she said.
+
+          "Look what I have for you."
+
+          Then the birds flew to the window.
+
+          Helen threw them the crumbs to eat.
+
+          "Here is a whole breakfast for you,
+          birdies."
+
+          The birds learned to know Helen.
+
+          They would fly very near her.
+
+          Helen would feed them.
+
+          She learned the names of all the
+          birds.
+
+          "Good morning, mocking-bird!" she
+          would say.
+
+          "And here is a thrush".
+
+          I want to see your eggs, mocking-bird.
+
+          Your eggs are very pretty.
+
+          The bobolink makes his nest in the
+          fields.
+
+          I can look into the nest.
+
+          I go to the fields to see him.
+
+          He never comes to see me...

+
+
+El padre de Gilberto vivia lejos en el
+Oeste.
+
+Un dia llevo a Gilberto a ver a los
+indios.
+
+Una india tenia un bebe.
+
+Una india se llama una _squaw_.
+
+Un bebe indio se llama un _papoose_.
+
+El _papoose_ estaba atado a una tabla
+que colgaba de un arbol.
+
+Miro a Gilberto con sus ojos vivos.
+
+--iQue bonito es!--dijo Gilberto.
+
+La _squaw_ dejo a Gilberto que lo cogiese,
+
+--Mi pequeno _papoose_,--dijo ella.
+
+--Me gustaria que mama lo viese,--dijo
+Gilberto.
+
+--?Puedo llevarselo a mama?
+
+--No, no te lleves mi _papoose_,--dijo
+la _squaw_.
+
+Gilberto le dio el _papoose_.
+
+Volvio a ponerlo en el arbol.
+
+iQue sitio tan raro para un nino!
+
+El viento puede mecerlo.
+
+Los pajaros pueden cantarle.
+
+?Cree V. que le gustaria a su hermanita?
+
+
+          hang'ing--West--In'dian--board

+
+
+          Gilbert's father lived far off in the
+          West.
+
+          One day he took Gilbert to see the
+          Indians.
+
+          One Indian woman had a baby.
+
+          An Indian woman is called a squaw.
+
+          An Indian baby is called a papoose.
+
+          The papoose was tied to a board
+          hanging on a tree.
+
+          It looked at him with its bright eyes.
+
+          "How pretty it is!" said Gilbert.
+
+          The squaw let Gilbert hold it.
+
+          "My little papoose," said she.
+
+          "I should like to have mamma see
+          it," said Gilbert.
+
+          "May I take it to mamma?"
+
+          "No, don't carry off my papoose,"
+          said the squaw.
+
+          Gilbert gave her the papoose.
+
+          She put it back on the tree.
+
+          What a funny place for a baby!
+
+          The wind can rock it.
+
+          The birds can sing to it.
+
+          Do you think your little sister would
+          like it?
+

+
+
+Gilberto vio a un muchacho indio.
+
+Estaba cuidando una jaca.
+
+Gilberto empezo a hablar con el.
+
+No podian hablar muy bien.
+
+El indio le enseno su _wigwam_.
+
+Un _wigwam_ es la casa de un indio.
+
+Es una casita hecha de pieles.
+
+El indio dejo a Gilberto entrar en
+su casa.
+
+Le dio un arco y flechas.
+
+Los indios saben tirar muy bien.
+
+El enseno a Gilberto a tirar la flecha.
+
+Gilberto le dio algunas canicas muy
+bonitas.
+
+Le enseno a jugar a las canicas.
+
+El indio puso una canica en el arbol.
+
+Podia tumbarla con su flecha.
+
+Gilberto no podia hacer lo mismo.
+
+Su flecha se clavo en el arbol.

+
+
+          Gilbert saw an Indian boy.
+
+          He was taking care of a pony.
+
+          Gilbert began to talk with him.
+
+          They couldn't talk very well.
+
+          The Indian showed him his wigwam.
+
+          A wigwam is an Indian's house.
+
+          It is a little house made of skins.
+
+          The Indian let Gilbert go into his
+          house.
+
+          He gave him a bow and arrows.
+
+          Indians can shoot very well.
+
+          He taught Gilbert to shoot an arrow.
+
+          Gilbert gave him some very pretty
+          marbles.
+
+          He showed him how to play marbles.
+
+          The Indian put a marble on the tree.
+
+          He could shoot it off with his arrow.
+
+          Gilbert could not do the same.
+
+          His arrow stuck in the tree.

+
+Juan tiene un bonito bote nuevo.
+
+El puede remar muy bien.
+
+Llevo a mama, a Lucia y a Catalina a
+dar un paseo en bote.
+
+Los lirios acuaticos crecian en el agua.
+
+--?Quieren Vds. algunos lirios?--pregunto
+Juan.
+
+--iOh si!--respondieron todas.
+
+Juan remo hacia donde estaban los lirios.
+
+--iQue bonitos lirios blancos!--dijo
+Lucia.
+
+--Tengo que llevarlos a casa conmigo.
+Cogio cuantos pudo.
+
+Catalina tenia su falda llena de lirios.
+
+--iQue bonitos son!--dijo ella.
+
+--Las hojas son bonitas.
+
+En el lago habia peces.
+
+A Catalina le gustaba ver nadar a
+los peces.
+
+Les daba a comer migajas de pan.

+
+          He can row very well.
+
+          He took mamma, Lucy, and Kate for
+          a row.
+
+          The water-lilies were growing in the
+          water.
+
+          "Do you want some lilies?" asked
+          John.
+
+          "O yes!" they all answered.
+
+          John rowed toward where the lilies
+          were.
+
+          "What pretty white lilies!" said Lucy.
+
+          "I must take them home with me."
+
+          She picked as many as she could.
+
+          Kate had her lap full of lilies.
+
+          "How pretty they are!" said she.
+
+          "The leaves are pretty."
+
+          In the lake there were fishes.
+
+          Kate liked to see the fishes swim.
+
+          She fed them bread-crumbs.

+
+Habia bonitos erizos alli.
+
+Parecian botones de cardos.
+
+Dos ninos jugaban sobre la roca.
+
+Su padre era pescador.
+
+Vivian en una casa vieja y parda.
+
+Huian de las olas.
+
+Ellos chapaleaban en el agua.
+
+Les gustaba mirar el fondo del charco.
+
+Un dia vieron una linda estrella de mar.
+
+La estrella tenia cinco brazos.
+
+Estos brazos se movian.
+
+Tenian pequenos tentaculos.
+
+Estos tentaculos la ayudaban a moverse.
+
+La boca estaba en el centro de la

+
+          The pool was in a large rock.
+
+          Seaweeds grew in the pool.
+
+          There were pretty sea urchins there.
+
+          They looked like thistle buds.
+
+          Two children played on the rock.
+
+          Their father was a fisherman.
+
+          They lived in an old brown house.
+
+          They ran away from the waves.
+
+          They paddled in the water.
+
+          They liked to look down in the pool.
+
+          One day they saw a pretty starfish.
+
+          The starfish had five arms.
+
+          These arms moved.
+
+          They had little feelers.
+
+          These feelers helped it to move about.
+
+          The mouth was in the middle of the
+          starfish.
+
+          Look at the starfish in the picture.
+
+          In the lower one you see the feelers

+
+Quiero usar un poco de esta brillante

+
+Mi nido estara colgado, para que la

+
+Yo me sentare en el arbol y cantare
+alegremente.
+
+La madre y los pequenos dormiran
+dulcemente.
+
+Entre tanto, yo cuidare mucho a mis
+queridos pajaros.
+
+Mire V. donde esta mi nido cuando

+

+          It is going to be such a soft, cozy
+          nest!
+
+          I am looking for material to weave
+          the nest.
+
+          I want to use a bit of this bright
+          yellow silk.
+
+          My nest shall be hung for the breeze
+          to swing.
+
+          I will sit on the tree and sing gayly.
+
+          The mother and the little ones will
+          sleep sweetly.
+
+          Meanwhile I will take good care of
+          my dear birds.
+
+          Look where my nest is, when you
+          pass by the tree.
+
+          You will surely see the soft yellow
+          silk.
+
+          Then you will know it is mine, even

+Un ganso viejo se paseaba por el patio.
+
+Vio el vestido color de rosa a traves

+
+El ganso viejo queria aquel vestido
+color de rosa.
+
+Metio su cabeza por entre la valla.
+
+Cogio el vestido con su pico grande.
+
+La pobra Pepita tenia miedo.
+
+--iOh Enrique, ven!--dijo ella.
+
+--Aqui hay un grandisimo pajaro.
+Quiere mi vestido nuevo.
+
+Enrique cogio un buen palo.
+
+Y dijo: iSueltala, pajaro malvado!
+Tu no puedes llevarte el vestido de
+Pepita.
+
+El viejo ganso solto el vestido.
+
+Salio corriendo del patio.
+
+Pepita se alegro de verlo huir.

+

+          the yard.
+
+          He saw the pink dress through the
+          fence.
+
+          The gander wanted that pink dress.
+
+          He put his head through the fence.
+
+          He caught the dress in his big bill.
+
+          Poor Josie was afraid.
+
+          "O Henry, come!" said she.
+
+          "Here is a great big bird.
+          He wants my new dress."
+
+          Henry got a good big stick.
+
+          And he said, "Let her go, you naughty
+          bird!
+          You can't have Josie's dress."
+
+          The old gander let go of the dress.
+
+          He went running out of the yard.
+
+          Josie was glad to see him run away.
+
+          She said "Thank you" to Henry.

+
+          Now they are playing with sand.
+

+
+          She is bringing it in her pail.
+
+          Annie has made two sand pies.
+
+          Now she is making another.
+
+          Put on your hat, Annie.
+
+          The sun will burn your face.
+
+          It will not hurt me.
+

+

+Diego puso un huevo de pato en un

+
+Un patico se crio con los pollos.
+
+iQue gracioso era el patico!
+
+Los pollos corrian por todos lados
+y escarbaban la tierra buscando
+gusanos.
+
+El patico no podia escarbar tan bien.
+
+Tenia las patas palmeadas.
+
+Estaban hechas para nadar.
+
+El queria agua para nadar.
+
+Un dia Enriqueta lo encontro.
+
+Lo cogio en sus manos.
+
+--?Que tienes, pobre patico?
+
+--iPip, pip!--dijo el patico.
+
+--?Quieres nadar?--dijo Enriqueta.
+
+--iPip, pip! Si, que quiero.
+
+--Tendras agua.
+
+Enriqueta fue corriendo a casa.
+
+Trajo agua en una palangana.
+
+Puso la palangana en el zacate.
+
+El patico corrio hacia la palangana.
+
+Le gustaba estar en el agua.
+
+La gallina vieja dijo,--iClo, clo!
+
+Vas a ahogarte, patico malvado.
+
+Los pollos corrieron hacia la palangana.
+
+Bebieron el agua; pero no podian
+nadar.
+
+La gallina tenia miedo de que se
+ahogasen.
+
+--iClo, clo!--dijo ella.
+
+--Aqui esta un gusano gordo.
+
+Entonces los pollos corrieron hacia ella.
+
+El patico se quedo y nado.
+
+Le hubiera gustado que pudiesen nadar

+          James put a duck's egg into a hen's nest.
+
+          A duckling hatched out with the
+          chickens.
+
+          How funny the duckling was!
+
+          The chickens ran every way and
+          scratched for worms.
+
+          The duckling could not scratch so well.
+
+          It had web feet.
+
+          They were made for swimming.
+
+          It wanted water to swim in.
+
+          One day Hattie found it.
+
+          She took it up in her hands.
+
+          "What is the matter, poor ducky?"
+
+          "Peep, peep!" said the duckling.
+
+          "Do you want to swim?" said Hattie.
+
+          "Peep, peep! Yes, I do."
+
+          "You shall have some water."
+
+          Hattie went running to the house.
+
+          She brought some water in a pan.
+
+          She set the pan on the grass.
+
+          The duckling ran to the pan.
+
+          It liked to be in the water.
+
+          The old hen said, "Cluck, cluck!
+
+          You will be drowned, you naughty
+          ducky."
+
+          The chickens ran to the pan.
+
+          They drank the water; but they
+          could not swim.
+
+          The hen was afraid that they would
+          drown.
+
+          "Cluck, cluck!" said she.
+
+          "Here is a big worm."
+
+          Then the chickens ran to her.
+
+          The duckling stayed and swam.
+
+          It would have liked it if the chickens
+          could swim too.
+
+          All swimming birds have web feet.
+
+          Some birds wade in the water.
+
+          They have long legs.

+

+--?Adonde vais?--dijo Roberto.
+
+--?Os apaga el viento?
+
+Creo que sois faroles de hadas.
+
+Preguntare a mama lo que sois.
+
+Entonces corrio hacia su casa.
+
+--Mama, el campo esta lleno de

+
+No lucen siempre.
+
+Hazme el favor de venir y decirme

+
+--Son gusanos de luz, Roberto,--dijo

+
+          One night he saw some lights in
+          the grass.
+
+          They looked like little stars.
+
+          "I must catch one of those stars,"
+          said he.
+
+          The lights did not keep still.
+
+          Sometimes they did not shine.
+
+          "Where do you go?" said Robert.
+
+          "Does the wind blow you out?
+
+          I think you are fairy lanterns.
+
+          I will ask mamma what you are."
+
+          Then he ran to his house.
+
+          "Mamma, the field is full of little
+          stars.
+          They do not always shine.
+          Please come and tell me what they
+          are."
+
+          "They are fireflies, Robert," said his
+          mamma.
+
+          "I will try to catch one for you."
+
+          She caught one and put it in Robert's
+          hand.
+
+          "Where are its wings?" said Robert.
+
+          "This is the mother of the fireflies,"
+          said mamma.
+
+          "Its wings are very small.
+          It cannot fly very fast.

+
+          The flowers wake up when I touch them.
+
+          In the morning I wake the birds.
+
+          Their home is in the tree-tops.
+
+          When they see me they begin to
+          sing.
+
+          I open the lilies on the lake.
+
+          I bring the lily buds up from under

+

+
+          They form a path across the sky.
+
+          This path is called a rainbow.

+          We let her buy some candy.
+
+          She gave the old man a cent and he
+          gave her some candy.
+
+          The other day we found her in the street.
+
+          She had put on her cap and cloak.
+
+          She had her doll in one hand.
+
+          "Why, baby! where are you going?" said I.
+
+          "To buy candy!" the baby answered.
+
+          "Why do you take the doll?"
+
+          "The doll wants candy too."
+
+          "You cannot buy candy, dear.
+          You haven't any cent."
+
+          "Yes, yes, see my cent."
+
+          What do you think she had?
+
+          She had a button.
+
+          She was going to buy candy with a button.
+
+          Wasn't baby funny?
+
+          I think the old man would have given
+          her some candy.
+
+          He is a very kind man.

+Dejaba a Elena acariciarla.
+
+Elena le daba yerba para comer.
+
+Le gustaba ver a Juan ordenarla.
+
+Elena bebio leche fresca.
+
+Puso un poco de nata en sus fresas.
+
+Le unto mantequilla a su pan.
+
+--Maruja me da muchas cosas,--dijo
+Elena.
+
+Elena fue a ver a su tia Ana el
+verano siguiente.
+
+--Maruja tiene algo que ensenarte,--dijo
+su tio Enrique.
+
+La llevo al campo.
+
+Alli habia un bonito ternero.
+
+--iOh, que mono eres, ternerito!--dijo
+Elena.
+
+Elena le dio yerba.
+
+Comia en su mano.
+
+Al ternero le gustaba mucho Elena.

+
+          Molly was Aunt Ann's cow.
+
+          She was a very good cow.
+
+          She let Helen stroke her.
+
+          Helen gave her grass to eat.
+
+          She liked to see John milk her.
+
+          Helen drank fresh milk.
+
+          She put a little cream on her strawberries.
+
+          She spread butter on her bread.
+
+          "Molly gives me a great many things,"
+          said Helen.
+
+          Helen went to see Aunt Ann the next
+          summer.
+
+          "Molly has something to show you,"
+          said Uncle Henry.
+
+          He took her to the field.
+
+          There was a pretty calf in the field.
+
+          "O, little calf, how nice you are!"
+          said Helen.
+
+          Helen gave it grass.
+
+          It ate out of her hand.
+
+          The calf liked Helen very much.

+
+
+Lucia iba a la dulceria a comprar

+
+Su papa le habia dado diez centavos.
+
+--Yo puedo comprar muchos dulces
+con diez centavos,--dijo ella.
+
+--Me gustaria que Marianita pudiese
+comer algunos dulces.
+
+Ha estado enferma mucho tiempo.
+
+Quiza encuentre algo que darle.
+
+Delante de la dulceria habia una carreta.
+
+En la carreta habia plantas.
+
+--Compra una planta, chiquita,--dijo
+el hombre.
+
+--Aqui tienes, una planta bonita por
+diez centavos.
+
+--A Marianita le gustaria tener una
+planta,--dijo Lucia.
+
+--Ella podria verla crecer.
+
+Creo que le comprare una.
+
+Tenga V. la bondad de darme una
+que tenga botones.
+
+Quiero darla a una nina enferma.
+
+Tomo la planta y corrio a ver a
+Marianita.
+
+--Mira lo que te traigo,--dijo ella.
+
+--iOh, que bonita es! Muchas gracias,
+Lucia.
+
+Me gustara verla crecer.
+
+Mira los libros de dibujos que me
+ha traido Enrique.
+
+--Si, me dijo que los tenia para ti.
+?Te encuentras mejor? Queremos
+que estes buena.
+
+--Si, espero estar buena pronto.
+Manana voy a dar un paseo en coche
+con el medico.
+
+Todos han sido muy buenos conmigo.

+Casi me alegro de haber estado enferma.

+
+
+          Lucy was going to the candy shop
+          to buy candy.
+
+          Papa had given her ten cents.
+
+          "I can buy lots of candy with ten
+          cents," she said.
+
+          "I wish Marion could eat some candy.
+
+          She has been sick a long time.
+
+          Perhaps I shall find something to give
+          her."
+
+          In front of the candy shop there was
+          a cart.
+
+          In the cart there were plants.
+
+          "Buy a plant, little girl," said the
+          man.
+
+          "Here is a pretty plant for ten
+          cents."
+
+          "Marion would like to have a plant,"
+          said Lucy.
+
+          "She could see it grow.
+
+          I think I will buy her one.
+
+          Please give me one that has buds.
+
+          I want to give it to a sick girl."
+
+          She took the plant and ran to see
+          Marion.
+
+          "See what I have brought you," said
+          she.
+
+          "O, how pretty it is! Thank you very
+          much, Lucy.
+
+          I shall like to see it grow.
+
+          Look at the picture books Henry
+          brought me."
+
+          "Yes, he told me he had them for you.
+          Are you better? We want you to be
+          well."
+
+          "Yes, I hope to be well soon.
+
+          To-morrow I am going to ride with
+          the doctor.
+
+          Everybody has been very good to me.

+
+
+La Senora Pata dio una tertulia.
+
+Todos los patos del corral estaban alli.
+
+Se fueron todos a nadar en el rio.
+
+Hallaron un sitio tranquilo.
+
+--Comeremos nuestra merienda aqui,--dijo
+la Senora Pata.
+
+--Aqui hay muchos insectos.
+
+Es un sitio muy a proposito para
+hallar comida.
+
+Y se tiro de cabeza al agua.
+
+Y al agua se tiraron tambien los
+otros patos.
+
+Y luego subieron de nuevo.
+
+Los patos tienen el pico grande y plano.
+
+Llenan sus picos de lodo.
+
+En el lodo hay insectos.
+
+iComo se divierten los patos!
+
+Algunas ranas viejas estaban sentadas
+cerca de los lirios.
+
+Miraban a los patos nadando por los
+alrededores.
+
+--iQue extranos son los patos!
+--dijeron ellas.
+
+--?Como esta V., Senora Pata?--dijo
+una de las ranas.
+
+--?Vive V. siempre en el agua?
+
+--No, de ninguna manera,--dijo la
+Senora Pata.
+
+--Nuestra casa esta en la hacienda.
+Tenemos una casa como la gente.
+
+--iVaya! ivaya! ?porque les hacen
+a Vds. una casa?
+
+A nosotras no nos hacen casa.
+
+--Nosotras ponemos huevos para la
+gente,--dijo la Senora Pata.
+
+--Y nosotras tambien ponemos huevos,--dijo
+la rana.
+
+--Vds. ponen sus huevos en el agua.
+A la gente no les gustan sus huevos.
+Nuestros huevos son grandes y buenos
+para comer.

+
+
+          Mrs. Duck gave a party.
+
+          All the ducks in the yard were there.
+
+          They all went swimming in the river.
+
+          They found a quiet place.
+
+          "We will have our lunch here," said
+          Mrs. Duck.
+
+          "There are a great many insects
+          here.
+          It is a first-rate place to find food."
+
+          And she plunged into the water head
+          first.
+
+          And into the water plunged the other
+          ducks too.
+
+          And then they came up again.
+
+          Ducks have large flat beaks.
+
+          They fill their beaks with mud.
+
+          In the mud there are insects.
+
+          What a good time ducks have!
+
+          Some old frogs were sitting near
+          the lilies.
+
+          They looked at the ducks swimming
+          all around.
+
+          "How queer ducks are!" they said.
+
+          "How are you, Mrs. Duck?" said one
+          of the frogs.
+
+          "Do you live in the water all the
+          time?"
+
+          "No indeed," said Mrs. Duck.
+
+          "Our home is at the farm.
+          We have a house like people."
+
+          "Well! well! why do they make you
+          a house?
+
+          They don't make a house for us."
+
+          "We lay eggs for the people," said
+          Mrs. Duck.
+
+          "And so do we lay eggs," said the
+          frog.
+
+          "You lay your eggs in the water.
+          People do not like your eggs.
+          Our eggs are big and good to eat."

+Jaime y Dolores eran ninos pobres.
+
+Nunca habian visto el campo.
+
+Vivian en una casa de huerfanos.
+
+Esperaban poder ir un dia al campo.
+
+El senor Blas era un campesino rico
+que tenia una casa muy agradable.
+
+El deseaba ver ninos en ella.
+
+Mando a varias personas a la ciudad.
+
+Les pidio que le enviasen dos ninos
+pobres.
+
+Le enviaron a Jaime y Dolores.
+
+iQue felices eran los ninos!
+
+Corrian siempre por el campo.
+
+Cogian frutas y flores.
+
+Oian cantar a los pajaros.
+
+Podian ayudar al senor Blas y a su
+senora en muchas cosas.
+
+Jaime aprendio a ordenar las vacas.
+
+Dolores aprendio a desnatar la leche.
+
+Jaime podia rastrillar el heno.
+
+Dolores tambien podia rastrillar el
+heno.
+
+Los ninos paseaban en la carreta del
+heno.
+
+El senor Blas les dejaba guiar los
+caballos.
+
+Les divertia mucho pasear en coche.
+
+Veian muchas cosas maravillosas.
+
+--iQue hermoso mundo es este!--decian
+ellos.
+
+--No sabiamos antes que fuese tan
+hermoso.
+
+--No volveran a la casa de huerfanos,--dijo
+la senora.
+
+--Se quedaran a vivir con nosotros.
+
+Jaime y Dolores estaban muy contentos.
+
+La madre de Federico le habia dicho que
+algunos gusanos se volvian mariposas.
+
+El queria ver a uno transformarse
+en mariposa.
+
+Un dia cogio un gusano en el jardin.
+
+Lo trajo sobre una hoja a su mama.
+
+Ella le dio una cajita para guardarlo.
+
+Federico le daba a comer hojas frescas
+todos los dias.
+
+Poco despues el gusano ceso de comer.
+
+Federico creyo que se moriria.
+
+Su mama le dijo: No, Federico, va
+a dormir.
+
+Cuando se despierte sera una mariposa.
+
+El gusano hilo un tejido alrededor
+de su cuerpo.
+
+Estaba pegado a un lado de la caja.
+
+--Se ha muerto, mama,--dijo Federico.
+
+--No se mueve ni come.
+
+--No se ha muerto,--dijo mama.
+
+Un dia Federico miro la caja.
+
+Vio un insecto de forma extrana.
+
+Sus alas no eran bonitas ni brillantes.
+
+Llamo a su madre para que lo viera.
+
+--Es tu mariposa,--dijo mama.
+
+---iQue extrana y fea es!--dijo
+Federico.
+
+--Yo creia que seria mas bonita.
+
+A los pocos momentos empezo a
+moverse y desplego las alas.
+
+Los colores se volvieron mas brillantes.
+
+--iOh, que hermosa!--dijo Federico.
+
+Desplego sus alas y volo a la ventana.
+
+Federico abrio la ventana y la dejo
+escaparse.
+
+--Ves tu como no se habia muerto,--dijo
+mama.
+
+--La mariposa habia estado alli siempre.

+
+          James and Dolores were poor children.
+
+          They had never seen the country.
+
+          They lived in an orphan asylum.
+
+          They hoped to go to the country some
+          day.
+
+          Mr. Blas was a rich farmer who had
+          a very pleasant home.
+
+          He wished to see children in it.
+
+          He sent to several people in the city.
+
+          He asked them to send him two
+          poor children.
+
+          They sent him James and Dolores.
+
+          How happy the children were!
+
+          They were always running in the fields.
+
+          They picked fruits and flowers.
+
+          They heard the birds sing.
+
+          They could help Mr. and Mrs. Blas
+          in many ways.
+
+          James learned to milk the cows.
+
+          Dolores learned to skim the milk.
+
+          James could rake the hay.
+
+          Dolores could rake the hay too.
+
+          The children rode on the hay cart.
+
+          Mr. Blas let them drive the horses.
+
+          They enjoyed taking drives about the
+          country very much.
+
+          They saw many wonderful things.
+
+          "What a beautiful world this is!"
+          they said.
+
+          "We didn't know before that it was
+          so beautiful."
+
+          "They shall not go back to the asylum,"
+          said Mrs. Blas.
+
+          "They shall stay to live with us."
+
+          James and Dolores were very glad.
+
+          Fred's mother had told him that
+          some worms turn to butterflies.
+
+          He wanted to see one change to a
+          butterfly.
+
+          One day he got a worm in the garden.
+
+          He carried it to his mamma on a leaf.
+
+          She gave him a box to keep it in.
+
+          Fred gave it fresh leaves to eat every
+          day.
+
+          Pretty soon the worm stopped eating.
+
+          Fred thought it would die.
+
+          His mamma told him, "No, Fred, it
+          is going to sleep.
+
+          When it wakes up it will be a
+          butterfly."
+
+          The worm spun a web round its body.
+
+          It was stuck to one side of the box.
+
+          "It is dead, mamma," said Fred.
+
+          "It does not move nor eat."
+
+          "It is not dead," said mamma.
+
+          One day Fred looked at the box.
+
+          He saw a strange-looking insect.
+
+          Its wings were not pretty or bright.
+
+          He called his mother to see it.
+
+          "It is your butterfly," said mamma.
+
+          "How queer and ugly it is!" said Fred.
+
+          "I thought it would be prettier."
+
+          In a few moments it began to move,
+          and spread out its wings.
+
+          The colors turned brighter.
+
+          "O, how beautiful!" said Fred.
+
+          It spread its wings and flew to the
+          window.
+
+          Fred opened the window and let it
+          fly out.
+
+          "You see it wasn't dead," said mamma.
+
+          "The butterfly had been there all
+          the time."

+
+El pobre papa no pudo ir.
+
+Tuvo que quedarse en casa.
+
+--?Que hare yo sin ti?--dijo el.
+
+--Te escribire una carta,--contesto
+Ines.
+
+--Te dire lo que estemos haciendo.
+
+--?Sabes escribir una carta?--dijo
+papa.
+
+--iOh! si, la puedo escribir,--dijo
+Ines.
+
+--Ya tengo siete anos.
+
+Veras que puedo escribir una carta.
+
+Ines se divirtio mucho.
+
+Un dia dijo ella:--Abuelita, ?puedo
+tomar una pluma?
+
+Quiero escribir a papa.
+
+--Si,--dijo su abuela,--en el
+escritorio hay plumas.
+
+Ines corrio al escritorio de su abuelo.
+
+--iOh abuelita! aqui hay una pluma
+muy rara.
+
+--Esta es una pluma de ave,--dijo
+la abuela.
+
+--Tu abuelo la corto para mi.
+Es una pluma de ganso.
+
+En tiempos pasados todo el mundo
+escribia con plumas de ave.
+
+--Me parece muy bonita,--dijo Ines.
+
+--No creo que pueda escribir con ella.
+
+Tomo otra pluma y se fue.
+
+Al poco tiempo volvio al escritorio.
+
+?Que vio alli?
+
+La chiquitina habia tomado la pluma
+de ave.
+
+Habia escrito con ella a su papa.
+
+iY que carta habia escrito!
+
+Habia derramado la tinta sobre el
+escritorio.
+
+--iOh chiquitina, chiquitina! ?porque
+has hecho esto?
+
+Mama envio la carta de la chiquitina
+a su papa.
+
+El dijo que se alegraba de recibir
+las dos cartas.

+CARTA DE INES A SU PADRE.
+
+
+SITIO GRANDE, 8 de Julio de 1917.
+
+
+MI QUERIDO PAPA:
+
+Nos estamos divertiendo mucho. Mi
+abuelito tiene un gran caballo oscuro. Algunas
+veces me monta en el caballo. iEs tan divertido!
+Juego mucho en el campo. Mi abuelito me deja
+pasear sobre los montones de yerba. Cojo moras
+para mi abuelita. Nos dan queso con el cafe.
+Quisiera que estuvieses aqui con nosotros. La
+chiquitina te ha escrito una carta. Cogio la
+pluma de ave de nuestra abuela, y derramo la
+tinta. ?Puedes leer su carta? Dice que ha
+escrito: ?Como estas, papa? Te quiero mucho.
+
+Tu hijita
+
+INES.

+
+          Mamma, Agnes, and baby went to
+          visit grandpa.
+
+          Poor papa could not go.
+
+          He had to stay at home.
+
+          "What shall I do without you?" said he.
+
+          "I will write you a letter," Agnes
+          answered.
+
+          "I will tell you what we are doing."
+
+          "Can you write a letter?" said
+          papa.
+
+          "O yes, I can," said Agnes.
+
+          "I am seven now.
+
+          You shall see that I can write a
+          letter."
+
+          Agnes had a very good time.
+
+          One day she said, "Grandma, may I
+          take a pen?
+
+          I want to write to papa."
+
+          "Yes," said grandma, "there are pens
+          on the desk."
+
+          Agnes ran to grandpa's desk.
+
+          "O grandma! here is such a funny
+          pen!"
+
+          "That is a quill pen," said her
+          grandma.
+
+          "Grandpa made it for me.
+
+          It is a goose quill.
+
+          In old times everybody used to write
+          with quill pens."
+
+          "I think it is very pretty," said
+          Agnes.
+
+          "I don't think I can write with it."
+
+          She took another pen and went off.
+
+          In a little while she went back to
+          the desk.
+
+          What did she see there?
+
+          Baby had taken the quill pen.
+
+          She had been writing to papa with it.
+
+          And what a letter she had written!
+
+          She had spilled the ink over the
+          desk.
+
+          "O baby, baby! what did you do
+          that for?"
+
+          Mamma sent baby's letter to papa.
+
+          He said he was glad to get both
+          Letters.

+          AGNES'S LETTER TO HER FATHER.
+
+
+          SITIO GRANDE, JULY 8, 1917.
+
+          DEAR PAPA:
+
+          We are having a very good time.
+          Grandpa has a big bay horse. Sometimes he
+          puts me on the horse's back. It is such fun!
+          I play in the field a great deal. Grandpa lets
+          me walk on the haycocks. I pick berries for
+          grandma. They give us cheese with our coffee.
+          I wish you were here with us. Baby has written
+          you a letter. She took grandma's quill pen,
+          and she spilled the ink. Can you read her
+          letter? She says she wrote "How are you,
+          papa? I love you a great deal."
+
+          Your little girl,
+
+          AGNES.

+delantal--cubrira--arrepintio.
+
+
+Una nina pobre fue a la escuela con
+Consuelo.
+
+Su vestido era muy viejo.
+
+Su madre no le podia comprar otro
+vestido.
+
+Consuelo se habia puesto un nuevo
+delantal blanco.
+
+Se lo puso para ir a la escuela un dia.
+
+La pobre Juana la miro.
+
+Hubiera querido tener un delantal
+como aquel.
+
+Cuando Consuelo volvio a casa, se fue
+adonde estaba su mama.
+
+Y le dijo: Mama, ?puedo dar mi
+delantal a Juana?
+
+Su vestido es muy viejo y pobre.
+
+Es una nina tan buena.
+
+Permiteme darle mi delantal.
+
+Su mama dijo: Si, puedes darselo, si
+quieres.
+
+Consuelo dijo a Juana que fuera a
+su casa con ella.
+
+Le regalo el delantal blanco.
+
+La mama de Consuelo se lo puso a
+Juana.
+
+La pequena Juana estaba muy contenta.
+
+--Muchas gracias, Consuelo,--dijo
+ella.
+
+--Cubrira mi vestido viejo.
+
+Nunca me he puesto un delantal tan
+bonito.
+
+Juana se puso el delantal para ir a
+la escuela.
+
+A Consuelo le gustaba verla usandolo.
+
+--No me parecia tan bonito cuando
+yo lo usaba,--se dijo.
+
+--Ahora puedo mirarlo tanto como
+quiera.
+
+Nunca se arrepintio de haberselo
+dado.
+
+
+          wore--a'pron--Consue'lo.
+
+
+          A poor girl went to school with
+          Consuelo.
+
+          Her dress was very old.
+
+          Her mother could not buy her another
+          dress.
+
+          Consuelo had put on a new white
+          apron.
+
+          She put it on to go to school one
+          day.
+
+          Poor Jane looked at her.
+
+          She wished she had an apron like that.
+
+          When Consuelo got home, she went
+          where mamma was.
+
+          And she said to her, "Mamma, may
+          I give Jane my apron?
+
+          Her dress is very old and poor.
+
+          She is such a good girl.
+
+          Let me give her my apron."
+
+          Her mamma said, "Yes, you may if
+          you want to."
+
+          Consuelo told Jane to come home
+          with her.
+
+          She gave her the white apron.
+
+          Consuelo's mamma put it on Jane.
+
+          Little Jane was very happy.
+
+          "Thank you very much, Consuelo,"
+          said she.
+
+          "It will cover up my old dress.
+
+          I never had on such a pretty apron."
+
+          Jane wore the apron to school.
+
+          Consuelo liked to see her using it.
+
+          "It did not look so pretty to me when
+          I wore it," she said to herself.
+
+          "Now I can look at it as much as I
+          want to."
+
+          She was never sorry she had given
+          it to Jane.

+--iQue fresca esta el agua
+en el arroyo!
+
+Los peces parecen estar
+muy contentos.
+
+?Como podeis vivir ahi,
+pececitos?
+
+Yo no podria respirar en el
+agua.
+
+--Tu tienes pulmones, nina.
+Tu respiras con tus pulmones.
+Nosotros respiramos con nuestras
+agallas.
+
+Las agallas estan en ambos lados de
+nuestra cabeza.
+
+Hay un poco de aire en el agua.
+
+Tomamos agua en nuestras bocas.
+
+El agua pasa por nuestras agallas.
+
+De esta manera respiramos.
+
+Cuando nos sacan del agua nos morimos.
+
+No podemos respirar aire sin agua.
+
+Lo siento mucho por ti, nina.
+
+Me gustaria que pudieses vivir en el
+agua.
+
+Hay muchas cosas hermosas que ver.
+
+--Me alegro de ser una nina.
+
+Yo se que hay cosas hermosas en el
+agua.
+
+Me gusta mirar al fondo de los arroyos.
+
+Me gusta mirar las cimas de las
+montanas y el cielo.
+
+El mundo todo es muy maravilloso.

+
+
+          "How cool the water in
+          the brook is!
+
+          The fishes seem to be very
+          happy.
+
+          How can you live there,
+          little fishes?
+
+          I could not breathe in the
+          water."
+
+          "You have lungs, little girl.
+
+          You breathe with your lungs.
+
+          We breathe with our gills.
+
+          The gills are on both sides of our
+          heads.
+
+          There is a little air in water.
+
+          We take water into our mouths.
+
+          The water passes over our gills.
+
+          That is how we breathe.
+
+          When they take us out of the water
+          we die.
+
+          We cannot breathe air without water.
+
+          I am very sorry for you, little girl.
+
+          I wish you could live in the water.
+
+          There are many beautiful things to see."
+
+          "I am glad I am a girl.
+
+          I know there are beautiful things in
+          the water.
+
+          I like to look down into the brooks.
+
+          I like to look at the mountain-tops
+          and the sky.
+
+          All the world is very wonderful."

+potrero--platanos--marinero--cotorra.
+
+
+Carlos vivia cerca de la ciudad de
+la Habana.
+
+Su padre tenia un potrero.
+
+Hermosos platanos crecian alrededor
+de la casa.
+
+El padre de Carlos tenia muchos
+caballos, bueyes y puercos.
+
+Un dia Carlos vio a un marinero viejo
+sentado debajo de una palma.
+
+El marinero tenia una cotorra.
+
+Carlos nunca habia visto cotorras.
+
+La vio trepar sobre el marinero viejo.
+
+Una cotorra trepa con su pico al mismo
+tiempo que lo hace con sus patas.
+
+--?Como esta V.?--dijo la cotorra.
+
+A Carlos le sorprendio mucho oir
+hablar a un pajaro.
+
+--? Quien es V.?--dijo la cotorra.
+
+Carlos le dijo su nombre.
+
+Al marinero viejo esto le hizo reir.
+
+--?Quiere V. venderme esa cotorra?
+--pregunto Carlos.
+
+--La vendere por ocho pesos,--dijo
+el marinero.
+
+Carlos corrio hacia su padre con la
+cotorra.
+
+--Aqui esta un pajaro que habla,
+--dijo el.
+
+--Hagame el favor de comprarmelo,
+papa.
+
+--Yo soy un pajaro hermoso,--dijo
+la cotorra,--deme azucar.
+
+Al padre de Carlos le parecio el pajaro
+muy bien ensenado.
+
+Lo compro para su nino.
+
+La cotorra fue su gran favorita.
+
+
+          stock--ba'na'na--sailor--par'ra'keet

+
+
+          Charles lived near the city of Havana.
+
+          His father had a stock farm.
+
+          Beautiful banana trees grew around
+          the house.
+
+          Charles's father had many horses, oxen,
+          and hogs.
+
+          One day Charles saw an old sailor
+          sitting under a palm tree.
+
+          The sailor had a parrakeet.
+
+          Charles had never seen parrakeets.
+
+          He saw it climb over the old sailor.
+
+          A parrakeet climbs with its bill at
+          the same time as with its feet.
+
+          "How do you do?" said the parrakeet.
+
+          Charles was much surprised to hear
+          a bird talk.
+
+          "Who are you?" said the parrakeet.
+
+          Charles told it his name.
+
+          This made the old sailor laugh.
+
+          "Would you sell me that parrakeet?"
+          asked Charles.
+
+          "I will sell it for eight dollars," said
+          the sailor.
+
+          Charles ran to his father with the
+          parrakeet.
+
+          "Here is a bird that talks," said he.
+
+          "Please buy it for me, papa."
+
+          "I'm a pretty bird," said the parrakeet;
+          "give me some sugar."
+
+          Charles's father thought the bird was
+          very well trained.
+
+          He bought it for his boy.
+
+          The parrakeet was his favorite pet.

+
+La niebla en el aire forma
+una nube.
+
+Poco a poco las nubes se
+ponen muy espesas.
+
+Empieza a llover.
+
+La lluvia cae sobre el cerro.
+
+Forma un riachuelo.
+
+Los riachuelos corren y se juntan.
+
+Forman un bonito arroyo.
+
+Los arroyos se deslizan por los lados
+de los cerros.
+
+Riegan los campos y los bosques.
+
+Desembocan en los rios.
+
+Los rios desembocan en el mar.

+
+          What good can that tiny little
+          thing do?
+
+          The mist in the air forms a
+          cloud.
+
+          Little by little the clouds get
+          very thick.
+
+          It begins to rain.
+
+          The rain falls on the hill.
+
+          It forms a brooklet.
+
+          The brooklets run together.
+
+          They form a pretty brook.
+
+          The brooks glide down the hillsides.
+
+          They water the fields and the
+          woods.
+
+          They flow into the rivers.
+
+          The rivers flow into the sea.

+--No, Emilia,--dijo mama.
+
+--Vamos a observar a la arana.
+
+Creo que esta haciendo su telarana.
+
+Ahora esta hilando.
+
+Mirala fijar el hilo a la ventana.
+
+Lo trae, y lo fija abajo.
+
+Vuelve otra vez para reforzarlo.
+
+Ahora esta hilando de traves.
+
+La telarana empieza a parecer una

+
+Mirala llevar el hilo alrededor de
+los otros.
+
+Ahora esta acabada su telarana.
+
+Se situara en el centro de la

+
+          "No, Emily," said mamma.
+
+          "We'll watch the spider.
+
+          I think she is making her web.
+
+          Now she is spinning.
+
+          See her fasten the thread to the
+          window.
+
+          She carries it and fastens it below.
+
+          She goes back again to strengthen it.
+
+          Now she is spinning across.
+
+          The web begins to look like a wheel.
+
+          See her carry the thread around the
+          others.
+
+          Now her web is done.
+
+          She will settle in the center of the

+En los arrecifes de la Florida se
+encuentran campos de coral.
+
+Se pueden ver en el agua.
+
+iComo nadan por alli los peces de

+
+Parecen ser tan dichosos como los
+pajaros en los bosques.
+
+El coral es una especie de animal.
+
+Cientos de estos corales se pegan en
+el fondo del mar.
+
+Crecen y se ramifican como arboles
+pequenos.
+
+Los erizos, las estrellas de mar y otros
+animales se guarecen entre ellos.
+
+Poco a poco se amontonan los corales
+unos sobre otros y se forma una isla.
+
+Los pajaros y las olas traen semillas
+a la isla.
+
+Las semillas echan raices y crecen.
+
+Muchos anos despues vienen gentes
+a vivir en algunas de estas islas.

+
+          On the reefs lie beautiful seaweeds
+          and shells.
+
+          Coral is found there.
+
+          Coral looks like a plant with branches,
+          leaves, and flowers.
+
+          Beds of coral are found on the Florida
+          Reefs.
+
+          They can be seen in the water.
+
+          How the bright-colored fishes swim
+          about there!
+
+          They look as happy as the birds in
+          the trees.
+
+          The coral is a sort of animal.
+
+          Hundreds of these corals stick themselves
+          to the sea-bottom.
+
+          They grow and branch like little trees.
+
+          The sea urchins, the starfish, and
+          other animals take shelter among
+          them.
+
+          Little by little the corals pile up and
+          an island is formed.
+
+          The birds and the waves carry seeds
+          to the island.
+
+          The seeds make roots and grow.
+
+          Many years afterward people come to
+          live on some of these islands.

+
+--?Creeis que volveran?

+
+          Old Miss Matilda had a flock of geese.
+
+          She was fond of her geese and took
+          great care of them.
+
+          One day the geese got out.
+
+          Poor old lady! She didn't know what
+          to do.
+
+          She went to the gate and looked
+          toward the road.
+
+          She could not see a single goose.
+
+          She was afraid they were lost.
+
+          Johnny and Kate were playing in
+          the yard next door.
+
+          Miss Matilda asked them if they had
+          seen her geese.
+
+          "I saw them," said Johnny, "they
+          were going toward the pond."
+
+          "Dear! dear!" said Miss Matilda.
+
+          "Do you think they will come back?"
+
+          "We'll go looking for them," said Kate.
+
+          The children went off toward the pond.
+
+          Johnny saw the geese almost as soon
+          as he came near the pond.

+
+Mira esta flor blanca.
+
+?Sabes que flor es?
+
+Es la flor de la yuca.
+
+Nos gusta verla brillar en el sol.
+
+Les gusta a las abejas y a las polillas.
+
+Ellas cogen comida de sus capullos.
+
+La planta de la yuca tiene hojas largas
+y puntiagudas.
+
+Es una planta muy util.
+
+Catalina tiene una soga para su cabra.
+
+La soga esta hecha de las hojas y de
+los tallos de la yuca.
+
+Su madre halla utiles las raices.
+
+Las arranca y las seca.
+
+Despues las usa para jabon.
+
+Lava el cabello de Catalina con ellas.
+
+Catalina tiene un hermoso cabello negro.
+
+La yuca lo pone suave y lustroso.
+
+El fruto de la yuca es bueno para comer.
+
+La madre de Catalina cuece el fruto.
+
+--iQue hermosa es la yuca!--dicen
+los ninos.
+
+--iQue util es!--dice su madre.
+
+--Nos alegra a todos ver la planta de
+la yuca.

+
+
+          See this white flower!
+
+          Do you know what it is?
+
+          It is the flower of the yucca.
+
+          We like to see it shining in the sun.
+
+          The bees and the moths like it.
+
+          They gather food from its blossoms.
+
+          The yucca plant has long and pointed
+          leaves.
+
+          It is a very useful plant.
+
+          Katherine has a rope for her goat.
+
+          The rope is made from the leaves
+          and the stems of the yucca.
+
+          Her mother finds the roots useful.
+
+          She digs them up and dries them.
+
+          Then she uses them for soap.
+
+          She washes Katherine's hair with them.
+
+          Katherine has beautiful black hair.
+
+          The yucca makes it soft and glossy.
+
+          The fruit of the yucca is good to eat.
+
+          Katherine's mother cooks the fruit.
+
+          "How beautiful the yucca is!" the
+          children say.
+
+          "How useful it is!" says their mother.

+
+Cuando papa llego a la acequia estaba

+

+
+Pablo abrio la puerta de prisa.
+
+El agua entro corriendo dentro del

+
+Pablo y papa trabajaron todo el dia.
+
+Por la noche estaban muy cansados,

+
+--iQue fresca y verde se ve la alfalfa!--dijo

+
+          "You may take your hoe," said
+          papa.
+
+          "I will take the big shovel."
+
+          Paul and papa walked through the

+
+          "The blossoms are sweet," said Paul.
+
+          "Yes," said papa, "the bees know it.
+
+          See this one gathering honey."
+
+          When papa came to the ditch it was full

+
+          "Open the gate, Paul," said papa.
+
+          Paul opened the gate quickly.
+
+          The water ran into the alfalfa field.
+
+          Paul and papa worked all day.
+
+          At night they were very tired, but
+          the field was irrigated.
+
+          "How fresh and green the alfalfa
+          looks!" said Paul.
+
+          "I am glad we gave it some water."
+
+          "Yes," said papa. "It would die without
+          the water."
+
+          "I like the water, too!" said Paul.

+
+Un dia Maria fue a visitar a Luisa.
+
+La ninita de la ciudad no habia estado

+
+Le gustaba ver jugar a los corderos.
+
+Una tarde las ninas fueron a pasear.
+
+Estaban paseando cerca del redil de
+las ovejas.
+
+--Mira a ese perro extrano,--dijo Maria.
+
+--Mira que nariz tan afilada tiene.
+
+Sus orejas son puntiagudas tambien.
+
+Mira que peluda es su cola.
+
+Luisa miro al perro extrano y se rio.
+
+--Ese no es un perro,--dijo ella.
+
+--Ese es un coyote. Llamare a Turco
+para que le eche fuera.
+
+Turco corrio ladrando tras el coyote.
+
+El coyote se alejo muy de prisa.
+
+Por la noche Maria oyo un aullido
+extrano.
+
+--?Que es eso?--le pregunto a Luisa.
+
+--Ese es el coyote,--dijo Luisa.

+
+          Louise lives on a ranch in the country.
+
+          On the ranch are many sheep.
+
+          One day Mary went to visit Louise.
+
+          The little city girl had never been
+          in the country before.
+
+          She liked to see the lambs play.
+
+          One evening the girls went to walk.
+
+          They were walking near the sheep pen.
+
+          "Look at that strange dog!" said Mary.
+
+          "See what a sharp nose he has!
+
+          His ears are pointed, too.
+
+          See how bushy his tail is!"
+
+          Louise looked at the strange dog
+          and laughed.
+
+          "That is not a dog," she said.
+
+          "That is a coyote. I'll call Turk to
+          drive him away."
+
+          Turk ran after the coyote and barked.
+
+          The coyote ran off very fast.
+
+          In the night Mary heard a strange
+          cry.
+
+          "What is that?" she asked Louise.
+
+          "It is the coyote," said Louise.
+
+          "He is crying for his supper."

+Esta entre los arboles cerca de un arroyo.
+
+Todos los dias las cabras trepan por

+

+

+
+          John helps his father care for the

+
+          In the summer John takes the goats
+          to the mountains.
+
+          John loves the mountains.
+
+          He has a log house there.
+
+          It is among the trees near a stream.
+
+          Every day the goats climb up the side
+          of the mountain.
+
+          They nibble the grass and the bushes.
+
+          John goes with them up the mountain.
+
+          At night he drives them down again.
+
+          He drives them into a pen.
+
+          There they are safe from harm.
+
+          The goats give rich and sweet milk.
+
+          John drinks the milk for his supper.
+
+          He makes cheese from the milk, too.
+
+          One night a mountain lion jumped into
+          the pen where the goats were.
+
+          He tried to catch a goat.
+
+          John was asleep in his log house.
+
+          When he heard the noise, he ran out
+          with his gun.
+
+          The lion was afraid and ran away.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
