+Introduction.
+
+
+ Here are Tot, Tom and Toby:
+ There are lots of things to see;
+ There are dogs and cats and horses and goats,
+ As happy as they can be.
+
+ Turn the leaves gently. The dogs and the cats,
+ And the little children, too,
+ Will be hurt if you tear them. How would you feel
+ If any one tore up you?
+
+
+
+
+"FLY LITTLE BIRD AWAY."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ A lit-tle girl
+ Read in her book,
+ How a wick-ed boy
+ A wild bird took
+ From out its nest
+ In the green-wood tree
+ A cap-tive now
+ 'Tis forced to be,
+ And flutters its poor wings all day long,
+ And beats the bars of its cage so strong.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ "Poor lit-tle bird!"
+ She soft-ly cried;
+ Then on her head
+ Her hood she tied,
+ Took down the cage
+ Of her own bird,
+ Opened the door,
+ With joy-ous word.
+ "Fly, lit-tle bird, a-way," quoth she,
+ Back to your home in the green-wood tree.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ A-way, a-way,
+ The glad bird flew,
+ Far out of sight,
+ In heav-ens blue.
+ The wee girl watched
+ With won-der-ing eye,
+ Till it had fad-ed
+ In the sky,
+ Then sat her down, and cried, "Boo-hoo!
+ My bird is gone! What shall I do?"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ Her pin-a-fore
+ With tears was wet:
+ "My bird a-gain,
+ I'll nev-er get."
+ At last she raised
+ Her weep-ing eye,
+ And there at hand,
+ What should she spy
+ But bird-ie hop-ping in his door,
+ Tired of his free-dom, back once more.
+
+
+
+
+MAY DAY.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ One day, all in the sweet spring weather,
+ Two lit-tle folk went out to-geth-er.
+ Oh the bright May-day!
+ Sun was shining, birds were sing-ing,
+ Flow-ers bloom-ing, May-bells ring-ing!
+ Oh the glad May-day!
+
+ So they two went forth a May-ing,
+ Laugh-ing, dan-cing, sing-ing, say-ing
+ "Oh the bright May-day!
+ What care we for moth-er's warn-ing?
+ Who would bide at home this morn-ing?
+ Oh the glad May-day!"
+
+
+
+
+HI DIDDLE, DIDDLE!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ Hi! Diddle, Diddle!
+ The Cat and the Fiddle!
+ The Cow jumped over the Moon.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ The Little Dog laughed to see such sport,
+ And the Dish ran away with the Spoon.

+JACK AND JILL.
+

+
+These are Jack and Jill. Do you not see their pail? They fill it with
+salt wa-ter.

+
+"What a sweet lit-tle lamb!" said May. "No: it is a wolf. I must run:
+he will eat me."
+
+
+
+
+DOLL AND I.
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ "Oh, dear! On, dear!
+ 'Tis al-most nine.
+ The birds all sing,
+ The sun does shine.
+ Poor Doll and I
+ To school must go:
+ I don't see why,
+ We hate it so.
+ I hate those let-ters. They twist and turn.
+ There's no use try-ing: I'll nev-er learn.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ "Hur-rah! hur-rah!
+ At last it's two!
+ I am so glad!
+ What shall we do?
+ Come, Doll, let's run.
+ I'll nev-er go,
+ When I get big,
+ To school, I know;
+ But ev-er-y min-ute of the day
+ I'll spend just as I like, in play."
+
+
+
+
+THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT.
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Hold it tight, Tom, dear," said May. "Mam-ma will be pleased at her
+birth-day gift. I think it is just love-ly." But the words were not out
+of her mouth when Tom caught his foot and fell at full length on the
+car-pet. Crash! went the vase that was to have been mam-ma's pres-ent
+in-to bits.
+
+May burst in-to tears, but she stopped all at once when she saw that Tom
+did not get up, and that his face was grow-ing ve-ry white. "Oh! Tom,"
+she cried, "is a-ny-thing the matter?"
+
+"My knee," groaned Tom, "it hurts aw-ful-ly."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+May ran at once for pa-pa. He came, and Tom was lift-ed up and put to
+bed, and the doc-tor was sent for. It was found that his knee was bad-ly
+hurt, and that he must not get out of bed for a month. Hard work it was
+for Tom, but May stayed by him all the time, and at the month's end he
+was well a-gain.

+ROVER PASSES BY.
+
+[Illustration: IN DANGER.]
+
+ A scared little couple,
+ Fright in each eye!
+ O what is the matter?
+ A dog passes by!
+ Bow-wow!
+
+ I'm sure 'tis a big dog,
+ Or kitty'd not hide,
+ And her brave little mistress
+ So nearly have cried!
+ Bow-wow!
+
+
+
+
+"THE SEA FOAM"
+
+
+One bright spring day Tom got out his new sail-boat, "The Sea Foam."
+Dol-ly went with him, and they set out for the pond. They had but just
+put the boat in the wa-ter, when they saw their cous-in Grace. She had
+a doll in her arms, which she was car-ry-ing with great care; and she
+had her eyes on the ground as she walked a-long.
