-[Illustration] THE LITTLE RED APPLE.
-
-
-Once there was a little red apple.
-
-It was high up in a tree.
-
-A little girl saw the apple.
-
-“Oh, Apple!” she said. “Come down to me.”
-
-But the little red apple did not hear her, for it was fast asleep.
-
-The bright sun came out.
-
-“Oh, Sun! Dear Sun!” said the little girl. “Will you waken the apple?”
-
-The sun kissed the apple, but it did not fall down.
-
-A little bird sat upon the bough of a tree.
-
-“Little Bird, can you waken the apple?”
-
-The bird sang a pretty song, but that did not waken the apple.
-
-“Here comes West Wind,” said the little girl.
-
-“He will waken the apple for me.”
-
-West Wind shook the tree and down fell the apple.
-
-“Thank you, West Wind,” said the little girl.
-
-[Illustration]
-
- The north wind doth blow,
- And we shall have snow,
- And what will the robin do then?
- Poor thing!
-
- He’ll sit in a barn,
- And keep himself warm,
- And hide his head under his wing,
- Poor thing!
-
-
-
-
-THE WIND AND THE SUN.
-
-
- One day West Wind blew the tops of the trees.
- He blew the corn in the fields.
- He blew the apples off the trees.
- Just then the bright sun came out.
- “I am stronger than you,” said West Wind.
- “No! I am stronger than you,” said the sun.
- Then West Wind said, “Do you see that man?
- He has on a warm coat.
- I can make the man take it off.”
- “Can you?” said the sun.
- West Wind blew, and blew, and blew.
- But the man did not take off his coat.
- “This is a cold wind,” he said.
-
-[Illustration]
-
- “Now it is my turn,” said the sun.
- “I can make the man take off his coat.”
- “Do it,” said West Wind.
- The sun came out very hot.
- Soon the man took off his coat.
- “The sun is very hot,” he said.
-
-
-
-
-[Illustration] THE WIND.
-
-
- Who has seen the wind?
- Neither I nor you;
- But when the leaves hang trembling
- The wind is passing through.
-
- Who has seen the wind?
- Neither you nor I;
- But when the trees bow down their heads
- The wind is passing by.

-
-SOMETHING TO TELL.
-
-
- Who has seen the wind?
- Who can sing the wind song?
- When do the leaves hang trembling?
- When do the trees bow their heads?
- What work does North Wind do?
- What work does South Wind do?
- What work does East Wind do?
- What work does West Wind do?
-
- What does the sun do in spring?
- What does the sun do in summer?
- What does the sun do in autumn?
- What does the sun do in winter?
- Did the sun make the apple fall?
- Did the wind make the man take off his coat?
- Is the sun stronger than the wind?

-
-[Illustration] MOTHER TREE AND THE LEAVES.
-
-
- One day Mother Tree said to the leaf-buds,
- “Winter will soon be here.
- I have made you warm winter coats.”
-
- Mother Tree put a coat around every leaf-bud.
-
- “Sunshine will keep you warm,” she said.
- “So I have put some sunshine in every coat.”
-
- Soon all the leaf-buds went to sleep
- for the winter.
-
- Then Mother Tree said to the little green leaves,
- “Now your work is over.
- Take off your green dresses.
- Jack Frost will be here to-night.
- He will give you bright red and yellow dresses.”
-
-
-II
-
- In the morning Mother Tree said,
- “Waken, dear leaves.
-
- It is time to get up.
- See! Here are red and yellow dresses for you.
- Now you may fly away to play in the brown fields.”
- Just then North Wind passed by.
- He saw the leaves hang trembling on Mother Tree.
- “Come!” said North Wind.
- “Come with me.”
- “Goodby, dear Mother Tree,” said the leaves as they flew away.
- Over the brown fields they went with North Wind.
- All day they danced and sang in the brown fields.
- When night came they went to sleep.
-
- Soon they were covered with the soft white snow.
-
-
-
-
-THE LITTLE PINE TREE.
-
-
- Once there was a little pine tree.
- It had long green needles.
- “I wish I had leaves,” said the pine tree.
- “I do not like needles.
- I should like leaves of gold.”
- By and by night came.
- The little pine tree went to sleep.
-
-
-II
-
- In the morning the pine tree had leaves of gold.
- “How happy I am!” said the pine tree.
- “See what pretty leaves I have!”
- Soon a man came into the woods.
- He put all the gold leaves into a bag.
-
-[Illustration]
-
- Then the poor tree had no leaves.
- “Oh! What shall I do?” said the tree.
- “I do not like gold leaves.
- I wish I had leaves of glass.”
- Again it was night.
- The little pine tree went to sleep.
-
-
-III
-
- In the morning the tree had leaves of glass.
- “Now I am happy,” said the pine tree.
- Just then the wind blew the tree.
- It blew all the leaves off the tree.
- They fell down and were broken.
- “Oh! My pretty glass leaves,” said the poor tree.
- “See! They are all broken.
- I do not like leaves of glass.
- I wish I had green leaves.”
- Again night came.
- The little pine tree went to sleep.
-
-
-IV
-
- In the morning the tree had pretty green leaves.
- “I am happy now,” said the pine tree.
- “I have green leaves like the other trees.”
- By and by a little goat came into the woods.
- Soon the goat ate all the leaves off the tree.
- Poor little pine tree!
- Again it had no leaves.
- “I wish I had my long green needles,” said the tree.
- “How happy I should be with needles!”
- Night came.
- Again the pine tree went to sleep.
-
-
-V
-
- In the morning it had long green needles.
- The pine tree was very happy.
- Two little birds flew into the tree.
- They made a nest in the long green needles.
- “I will never wish for leaves again,” said the pine tree.
- “A man took my gold leaves.
- The wind broke my glass leaves.
- A goat ate my green leaves.
- Needles are best for a little pine tree.”
-

-
-[Illustration] THE ANT AND THE DOVE.
-
-
- A little ant fell into the water.
- “Oh, help! Help!” said the ant.
- A dove was in a tree near by.
- She dropped a leaf into the water.
- “Here, little ant, is a leaf.
- Climb upon it,” said the dove.
- Soon the ant came to the shore.
- “Thank you, pretty dove,” said the ant
- “Some day I will help you.”
-
-
-II
-
- One day the dove was in a tree near her nest
- A man came into the woods with a gun.
- He tried to shoot the dove.
- The ant passed by and saw him.
- “Oh, the poor dove!” said the ant.
- “How can I help her?”
- She ran to the man and bit his foot.
- “Oh, my foot! My foot!” said the man.
- Then he ran out of the woods.
- “Thank you,” said the dove.
- “You have helped me, little friend.”
-

-
-STOP, STOP, PRETTY WATER!
-
-
- “Stop, stop, pretty water!”
- Said Mary one day,
- To a bright, happy brook
- That was running away.
-
- “You run on so fast!
- I wish you would stay;
- My boat and my flowers
- You will carry away.
-
- But I will run after:
- Mother says that I may;
- For I would know where
- You are running away.”
-
- So Mary ran on;
- But I have heard say,
- That she never could find
- Where the brook ran away.
- ELIZA LEE FOLLEN.
-
-
-
-
-THE BROOK.
-
-
- One day some raindrops fell out of the sky.
- They went running down a hillside.
- By and by they came to a bright, happy brook.
- “Stop, stop, pretty water!” said the raindrops.
- “Where are you going?”
- “I am going to the sea,” said the brook.
- “I can not stop. I have work to do.
- I water the grass and the flowers.
- The cows come here to drink.
- I make a home for the fishes.
- The birds like my pure cold water.
- The boys and the girls come here to play.
-
-[Illustration]
-
- There are other little brooks.
- They all go my way, so we run on together.”
- “We will go with you, too,” said the raindrops.
- So away they went with the bright, happy brook.
-
-
-
-
-[Illustration] THE THREE BEARS.

- One day Golden Locks went into the woods.
- She came to a little house.
- It was the home of three bears.
- Father Bear was a big bear.
- Mother Bear was a middle-sized bear.
- Baby Bear was a little bear.

- She tasted the milk in the big bowl.
- It was too hot.
- She tasted the milk in the middle-sized bowl.

- So she fell fast asleep.
-
-
-V
-
- Soon the three bears came home.
- Father Bear said, in a big voice,
- “=SOME ONE HAS BEEN TASTING MY MILK.=”
- Mother Bear said, in a voice not so big,
- “SOME ONE HAS BEEN TASTING MY MILK.”
- Baby Bear said, in a little voice,
- “SOME ONE HAS BEEN TASTING MY MILK, AND IT IS ALL GONE.”
-
-
-VI
-
- Then Father Bear said, in a big voice, “=SOME ONE
- HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY CHAIR.=”
- Mother Bear said, in a voice not so big,
- “SOME ONE HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY CHAIR.”
- Baby Bear said, in a little voice,

-VII
-
- Then Father Bear said, in a big voice,
- “=SOME ONE HAS BEEN LYING ON MY BED.=”
- Mother Bear said, in a voice not so big,
- “SOME ONE HAS BEEN LYING ON MY BED.”
- Baby Bear said, in a little voice,
- “SOME ONE HAS BEEN LYING ON MY BED, HERE SHE IS, FAST ASLEEP.”
-
-[Illustration]
-
-
-VIII
-
- Just then Golden Locks sat up in bed.
- She saw the three bears looking at her.

-
-[Illustration] THE FOX AND THE CROW.
-
-
- One day a crow flew into a tree.

- “How pretty you are!
- Can you sing, pretty bird?”
- The crow sang, “Caw! Caw! Caw!”
- Down fell the cheese.
- Then the fox ran off with it.

-CHICKEN LITTLE.
-
-
- One day Chicken Little was in the woods.
- A nut fell on her head.
- “Oh, oh! The sky is falling,” said Chicken Little,
- “I must run and tell the king.”

-IV
-

-THE SWING.
-
-
- How do you like to go up in a swing,
- Up in the air so blue?
- Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
- Ever a child can do!
-
- Up in the air and over the wall,
- Till I can see so wide,
- Rivers and trees and cattle and all
- Over the countryside--
-
- Till I look down on the garden green,
- Down on the roof so brown--
- Up in the air I go flying again,
- Up in the air and down!

-[Illustration] THE KIND OLD OAK.
-
- It was time for winter to come.
- There was no green grass in the fields.
- The birds were all in the South.
- Under an old oak-tree, there were some sweet blue violets.
- “Dear oak-tree,” said they.
- “Winter will soon be here.
- We are afraid of the cold.”
- “Do not be afraid, pretty violets,” said the oak.
- “Go to sleep, I will take care of you.”
- So the violets went to sleep.
- The kind old tree dropped a red leaf upon them.
- Then leaf after leaf dropped down.
- Soon the violets were all covered over.
- Winter came but they were not afraid.
- They were fast asleep under the leaves of the kind old oak.

-IN THE WOODS.
-
-
- Here are some woodmen.
- They are in the deep woods.
- Two woodmen are cutting down a tree.
- How fast they work!
- See the ax go up and down.
- Soon the tree will fall.
- See! Down it comes!
- Other woodmen cut off the boughs.
- Then they cut the tree into logs.
- By and by they will take the logs to the water.
- They will put the logs on the ice.
- In the spring the warm sunshine will melt the ice.
- Then the water will carry the logs down to the sawmill.
-
-
-
-
-[Illustration] THE HONEST WOODMAN.
-
-
- A woodman was at work near the water.
- He was cutting down a large oak-tree.
- You could hear the chip, chip, chip of his ax.
- He lifted the ax high over his head to give a good blow.
- The ax fell into the water.
- The poor woodman looked down into the deep water.
- He said, “Oh! What shall I do?
- I have lost my good ax!”
-
-
-II
-
- A kind fairy lived in the water.
- She came up out of the water and said,
- “My poor man, why are you crying?”
- “Oh! said the woodman.
- “I have lost my good ax.”
- “Do not cry,” said the fairy.
- “I will get your ax for you.”
- The fairy went down into the deep water.
- Soon she came up with a gold ax.
- “Is this your ax?” said the fairy.
- “Oh, no!” said the
- “That is not my ax.”
- The fairy again went down into the water.
- Soon she came up with a silver ax.
- “Is this your ax?” she said.
- “Oh, no, no!” said the woodman.
- “That is not my old ax.”
-
-
-III
-
- Then the fairy said, “You shall have your ax.”
- She went down into the water again.
- Soon she came up with a steel ax.
-
-[Illustration]
-
- “Oh, thank you!” said the happy woodman. “That is my ax.
- Now I can work.”
- “Yes,” said the fairy, “this is your ax, but it is a steel ax.
- Did you not like the gold ax and the silver ax?”
- “This is my ax,” said the woodman.
- “The gold ax was not mine, and the silver ax was not mine.”
- “You are an honest woodman,” said the fairy.
- “You would take only what is yours.
- So I will give you the gold ax
- and the silver ax.”
- The woodman carried home the gold ax, the silver ax and the steel ax.
- He was very, very happy.

-
-AN OLD RHYME.
-
-
- If all the seas were one sea,
- What a great sea that would be!
- If all the trees were one tree,
- What a great tree that would be!
- If all the axes were one ax,
- What a great ax that would be!
- If all the men were one man,
- What a great man that would be!
- And if the great man took the great ax,
- And cut down the great tree,
- And let it fall into the great sea,
- What a great splash that would be!
-
-
-
-
-[Illustration] AT THE SEASIDE.
-
-
- When I was down beside the sea
- A wooden spade they gave to me
- To dig the sandy shore.
- My holes were empty like a cup,
- In every hole the sea came up,
- Till it could come no more.

-[Illustration] LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD.
-
-
- Once upon a time there was a pretty little girl.
- Her grandmother made her a pretty red hood.
- Then everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood.
- One day her mother made some butter and a cake.
- She put these into a basket and said, “Your grandmother
- is sick, Little Red Riding Hood.
- Will you take this cake and butter to her?”
- “Oh, yes, Mother!” said Little Red Riding Hood.
- “I know the way to Grandmother’s house.”
- She put on her red hood and kissed her mother.
- “Good-by, Little Red Riding Hood,” said her mother.
- “Be a good girl and do not go out of the path.”
-
-[Illustration]
-
-
-II
-
- Little Red Riding Hood sang as she went along.
- When she came to the wood she met a wolf.
- Some woodmen were at work near by.
- The wolf was afraid of the woodmen.
- So he said to Red Riding Hood,
- “Good morning, little girl.
- Where are you going?”
- “I am going to see my grandmother,” said Little Red Riding Hood.
- “I have butter and a cake for her.”
- “Where does your grandmother live?” said the wolf.
- “She lives on the other side of the wood,” said Little Red Riding Hood.
- “The house is near three big trees.”
- “I will go to see your grandmother, too,” said the wolf.
- He went beside Red Riding Hood for a little way.
- Then the wolf said, “Little Red Riding Hood, see
- the pretty flowers all around us.
- Why do you not pick some of them?”
- “Grandmother loves flowers,” said Little Red Riding Hood.
- “I will pick some to put in the basket with the cake and butter.”
- So Little Red Riding Hood went out of the path to look for flowers.
- But the wolf ran through the wood as fast as he could go.
- He saw the grandmother’s house near three big oak trees.
-
-
-III
-

- Blacky was a good pig. He was bright and happy all day long.
-
-
-II
-
- One day the mother pig called the three pigs to her and said,
- “Browny! What kind of a house would you like?”
- “I should like to have a mud house,
- Mother dear,” said Browny.
-
- “And you, Whitey! What kind of a house shall I
- make for you?” said the mother.
- “Oh, I should like a great big cabbage house, Mother!” said Whitey.
- “Blacky dear! What kind of a house would you like?” said the mother pig.
- “A brick house, please, Mother,” said Blacky.
- So the good mother pig made three houses.
- Then the three little pigs went to live in them.
- As they were going away the mother pig said, “If
- Mr. Fox comes to see you, do not let him
- in. He is not a friend.”
-
-

-
- Browny was very happy in his mud house.
- One day there came a “Tap, tap!” at the door.
- A soft voice said, “Little pig!
- Little pig! Let me come in.”
- “Who are you?” said Browny.
- “I am a friend of your mother’s,” said the soft voice.
- “I want to see your pretty house.”
- “Oh, no!” said Browny. “You are not a friend. You are Mr. Fox.
- You can not come in.”
- Then Mr. Fox made a hole in the mud house.
- He put Browny into a bag and carried him away to his den.

-
- The next day the old fox went to Whitey’s house.
- Greedy little Whitey was eating the cabbage that her house was made of.

- “Who are you?” said Whitey.
- “A friend of your mother’s,” said Mr. Fox.
- “I have something good for you to eat.”
- “No, no! You can not come in.
- You are not a friend,” said Whitey.

- “I am a friend of your mother’s,” said Mr. Fox.
- “Oh, no! You are not,” said Blacky.
- “You can not come in.
- You carried away Whitey and Browny. You are not going to get me.”

- But he could not get into Blacky’s strong brick house.
-
-

-
- The next day Blacky went to town to get a big kettle.
- As he came back he saw Mr. Fox in the woods.

- Blacky got into the kettle.
- It rolled over and over down the hill.
- At the door of the brick house
- Blacky jumped out.
-
-
-VII
-
- Blacky ran into the house as fast as he could go.
- He put the kettle full of water over the fire.
- Mr. Fox was afraid when he saw the big black kettle rolling down the hill.
- When he saw Blacky jump out of the kettle he said,
- “O ho! I will have you now.”
- He ran down to Blacky’s house.
- He tried the door but he could not get in.
- Then he went down the chimney.
- He fell into the kettle of hot water.
- Then Blacky went to get Whitey and Browny.
- Mr. Fox had carried them to his den in the woods.

-
- I’d sit in the middle,
- And hold by both ends.
- Oh, what a bright cradle ’t would be!

- In the beautiful skies,
- And through the bright clouds we would roam.
-
- We would see the sun set
- And see the sun rise,

-
- One warm spring morning
- Father said, “Spring is here!
- The sap will run to-day.
- Come! We will tap the big maple trees.”
-
- “Oh! Oh! What fun!” said John and Mary.
- “Here are the pails,” said Father.
-
-[Illustration]
-
- “We will carry them down to the maple trees.”

- Drop by drop it ran into the pail.
- “It looks like water,” said John.
- “It tastes like water with a little sugar in it,” said Mary.
-
-

-
- Father said, “I will tell you the story of the sap.
- All winter the maple trees were asleep.
- When spring came the warm rain ran down to the roots of the trees.
- ‘Awake!’ said the rain, ‘It is time to grow.’
- The bright sun looked down and said to the trees,
- ‘Awake! It is time for the sap to run.’
- Sap helps the little buds to grow.
- In the spring the maple tree has more sap than it needs.
- So we make a hole in the tree and the sap runs out.
- Maple sugar is made from the sweet sap of the maple tree.”
-
-
-III
-
- Near the maple trees there was a log house.
- The next morning father made a hot fire in the log house.
- “Now we will go to the trees and get the sap,” said father.
- He hung a big kettle over the fire.
- They put the sap into this big kettle.
- After a long time the sap was brown and thick.
- “Here is some good maple syrup,” said father.
- He put the syrup into pans.
- There were big pans and little pans and middle-sized pans.
- “Here is a little pan for you, Mary.
- This one is for you, John,” said father.
- “When the syrup is cold and hard it will be maple sugar.”

- One day John was lying on the grass under a big maple tree.
- All at once he heard some one tap on the tree.
- “Tap, tip-y, tap, tap, tap! Tap, tip-y, tap, tap, tap!
- John looked all around.
- Then he looked up in the tree.
- He saw a woodpecker making a hole in the tree.
- That is the way a woodpecker builds his nest.
- Some chips fell on the grass beside John.
- “Tap, tap!” went the busy little carpenter.

- A bright happy brook ran through a pleasant meadow.
- The horses and cows and sheep went there to drink.
- When the sheep and lambs went down to drink they passed
- by the bramble bush.
- Sometimes the bramble bush would pick off little pieces of wool.
- The sheep did not like this.
- So they said to the bramble bush, “You are of no use.
- We give the children wool to make warm clothes for the winter.”
- The cows said, “We give the children milk to drink.”
- The horses said, “We work for the children and give them pleasant rides.”
- But the bramble bush did not say a word.
-

-
- One spring morning two pretty birds flew into a tree near the brook.
- The sheep were eating the sweet green grass near by.
- They heard a bird say,
- “We must have something warm and soft for our nest.
- I will see what I can find.”
- He flew down and saw the white wool on the bramble bush.
- “This is what I want,” said the bird.
- “Thank you, Bramble Bush.”
- The bird took some of the wool to his nest.
- Then he flew away to tell the other birds about the wool
- on the bramble bush.
- After that the sheep were kind to Bramble Bush.
- They often gave it wool for the birds to use in making their nests.

- Pretty hen,
- And you spotted cow,
- What say you now?”
- “Yes,” said the animals.
- The oldest girl cooked a good supper.
- Then she and the old man sat down at the table and ate it.
- But she did not think of the poor animals.
- After supper the animals said,
- “You eat and you drink,
- Of _us_ you do not think.
- So you shall have no bed,
- To rest your tired head.”
- Then she had to find her way home alone through the dark wood.

- At noon the second girl set out.
- But the blackbirds had picked up all the seeds.
- She went on and on through the wood.
- At night she came to the little house in the wood.
- “May I stop here all night?” said the second girl.
- “I have lost my way.”
- The old man said,
- “Pretty cock,
- Pretty hen,
- And you spotted cow,
- What say you now?”
- “Yes,” said the animals.
- The second girl cooked a good supper.
- Then she sat down and ate and drank with the old man.
- But the poor animals did not have any supper.
- So they said,
- “You eat and you drink,
- Of _us_ you do not think.
- So you shall have no bed,
- To rest your tired head.”
- Then she, too, had to find her way home alone through the dark wood.
-
-
-IV
-
- The next morning the woodman said to the youngest girl,
- “Bring me my dinner to-day.
- I will drop corn along the path.
- Then you can find your way.”
- At noon the youngest girl went into the wood.
- The doves had picked up the corn and she, too, lost her way.
-
- At night she saw a light and came to the house in the wood.
- “May I stop here all night?” she asked.
- The old man said to the animals,
- “Pretty cock,
- Pretty hen,
- And you spotted cow,
- What say you now?”
- “Yes,” said the three.
- The youngest girl went over to the animals and petted them.
- She cooked a good supper for the old man.
- But before she sat down to eat she gave the cow some hay.
- Then she gave the cock and the hen some corn.
- “Eat this, dear animals,” she said.
- “Then I will bring you some water.”
- After supper the animals said to the old man,
- “She is kind and good.
- Let her stay with us,
- In the house in the wood.”
-
-
-V
-
- Just then the youngest girl saw a bright light.
- She covered her eyes.
- When she looked up she was in a beautiful castle.
- The old man was gone.
- He was now a king’s son.
- The three animals had changed to three men.
- “You were kind and good to my animals,” said the king’s son.
- “So this is your castle.”
- Then the youngest girl sent for her father and sisters.
- They all lived happily together in the beautiful castle.

-[Illustration] THE LITTLE PLANT.
-
-
- In my little garden bed
- Raked so nicely over.
- First the tiny seeds I sow.
- Then with soft earth cover.
-
- Shining down, the great round sun
- Shines upon it often;
- Little raindrops, pattering down,
- Help the seeds to soften.
-
- Then the little plant awakes!
- Down the roots go creeping.
- Up it lifts its little head
- Through the brown earth peeping.
-
- Higher and higher still it grows
- Through the summer hours,
- ’Till some happy day the buds
- Open into flowers.

-WORK AND PLAY.
-
-
- Once there was a little girl named Amy.
- She liked to play in the garden and hear the birds sing.
- She said the flowers and birds talked to her.
- One day her mother said, “Amy, you are a large girl now.
- You must help me a little.
- Every day I will give you something to do.”
- “Oh Mother!” said Amy, “I do not like to work.
- Please let me go into the woods and play.”
- “Yes,” said her mother. “You may go and play.
- I have no work for you to do just now.”
- So away Amy ran through the pleasant garden into the woods.
-
-
-II
-
- She saw a pretty squirrel and said,
- “Dear squirrel, do you play and eat nuts all day long?
- You do not work, do you?”
- “Not work?” said the squirrel.
- “Why, I am busy now.
- I must put these nuts in my nest to eat next winter.
- I can not stop to play with you.”
- Just then a bee flew by.
- “Tell me, bee!” said Amy.
- “Have you work to do?”
-
-[Illustration]
-
- “Buzz! Buzz!” said the bee.
- “I am busy now getting honey from the flowers.
- I can not stop to play with you.
- Amy walked through the woods.
- By and by she met an ant with a piece of sugar.
- “I wish you would come and play with me,” said Amy.
- “I am too busy to play with you,” said the ant.
- “I must carry this sugar home for the little ants to eat.”
-
-
-III
-
- Amy sat down under a tree to think about it.
- “The squirrels, the bees, and the ants work from
- morning till night,” said Amy.
- “I will ask the flowers if they have to work.”
- So she ran into the garden.
- “Do flowers have to work?” she said to a pretty red clover.
- “My dear Amy,” said the red clover, “the flowers must all work.
- We are busy now making honey for the bees.
- That is why we are so happy.”
- Amy ran home to her mother and said, “I have come
- back to help you, Mother dear.
- The squirrels, the bees, the ants and the flowers
- all have work to do.
- I should like to work, too.”
- “You may help me sew,” said her mother.
- “Then you will be happy, like the squirrels, the
- bees, the ants, and the flowers.”

-THE THREE BROTHERS.
-
-
- Once there were three brothers.
- Not far from where they lived was the king’s castle.
- A large oak tree grew beside the door.
- It made the castle very dark.
- So the king said, “This tree must be cut down.”
- But no one could cut it down.
- The more they cut the larger the tree grew.
- The king’s castle was on a high hill.
- Every drop of water had to be carried up the hill.
- So the king said, “I must have a well that will hold water all the year.”
- But no one could dig the well.
- At last the king said, “I will give half my kingdom
- to the man who will cut down the tree and
- dig the well.”
-
-
-II
-
- The three brothers set out to go to the king’s castle.
- On their way they passed through a great wood.
- By and by they heard something chopping and cutting.
- “I wonder what it is that is cutting and chopping,”
- said the youngest brother.
- “Did you never hear woodmen before? asked the brothers.
- “Oh, yes!” said the youngest brother.
- “But I should like to know what it is that we hear.
- I am going to find out.”
- So away he went.
- Far off in the woods he saw an ax chopping all alone.
- “Good morning, Ax,” he said.
- “Are you cutting here all by yourself?”
- “Yes,” said the ax.
- “I have been chopping here a hundred years, waiting for you.
- “Well, here I am,” said the youngest brother.
- He put the ax in his bag.
- Then he ran off to catch up with his brothers.
-
-
-III
-
- The three brothers walked on together.
- By and by they came to a high hill.
- They heard something picking and digging.
- “I wonder what it is that is picking,” said the youngest brother.
- “Did you never hear a woodpecker before?” asked the brothers.
- “Yes, I have,” said the youngest brother.
- But I should like to know what it is that we hear.
- I am going to find out.”
- The brothers laughed at him, but away he went.
- Far off in the wood he saw a pick digging all alone.
- “Good morning, Pick,” he said.
- “Are you digging here all by yourself?
- “Yes,” said the pick.
- “I have been picking here a hundred years, waiting for you.”
- “Well, here I am,” said the youngest brother.
- He put the pick in his bag.
- Then he ran down to his brothers.
-
-
-IV
-
- On they went together until they came to a brook.
- They sat down there to rest and to get a drink of water.
- “I wonder where the brook comes from, said the youngest brother.
- Well, did you never see a brook before?” asked the brothers.
-
-[Illustration]
-
- “Yes,” he said, “but I wonder where it comes from.”
- So he followed the brook.
- At last he saw a tiny stream come out of a walnut.
- “Good morning, Walnut,” he said.
- “Are you here all alone?”
- “Yes,” said the walnut.
- “The water has been running here a hundred years, waiting for you.”
- “Here I am,” said the youngest brother.
- He put some moss in the hole in the walnut.
- Then he put it in his bag.
- “Did you find where the water came from?” asked the brothers.
- “Yes,” said the youngest brother.
- “It came out of a hole.”
-
-
-V
-
- The three brothers walked on until they came to the king’s castle.
- So many men had tried to cut down the tree that it was now very large.
- At last the king said, “Every man who tries to cut the
- tree and can not do it must leave the country.”
- The oldest brother tried to cut down the tree.
- But when the tree grew larger they sent him out of the country.
- Then the second brother tried.
- He could not do it, so they sent him out of the country.
- “Now it is my turn,” said the youngest brother.
- He took his ax from the bag, and cut into the tree.
-
-[Illustration]
-
- “My ax, cut for yourself,” he said.
- The ax chopped and chopped.
- Soon the great oak tree fell down.
- Then he took his pick from the bag.
- “My pick, dig for yourself,” he said.
- You never saw such picking and digging.
- Soon it had dug a great deep hole.
- Next he took out his walnut.
- He took the moss from the hole, then dropped the
- walnut far down into the well.
- “Water, run,” he said.
- Soon the well was full of water.
- The youngest brother had cut down the tree and dug the well.
- The king gave him half of his kingdom.
-
-
-
-
-[Illustration] THE LARK AND HER LITTLE ONES.
-
-
- A lark built her nest in a field of wheat.
- After a while there were five little larks in the nest.
- One day the farmer and his son came into the field.
- The farmer looked at the wheat and said, “This wheat is ripe.
- It must be cut.
- We will get our friends to come and help us.”
- “Oh, Mother!” said the little ones.
- “The farmer says the wheat must be cut.
- What shall we do?
- We are not strong enough to fly.”
- “We need not fly away to-day,” said the mother lark.
- “But are you not afraid?” asked the little ones.
- “No,” said the mother lark.
- “The farmer’s friends will not cut his wheat.”
-
-
-II
-
- In a day or two the farmer and his son came again to the field.
- “Where are your friends?” said the farmer.
- “This wheat is ripe. It must be cut.”
- But the farmer’s friends did not come to help him.
- At last the farmer said to his son,
- “This wheat must be cut.
- In the morning I will cut it myself.
- You may help me, my son.”
- “Oh, Mother!” said the little ones,
- “Must we fly away to-day?”
- “Yes,” said the mother lark.
- “It is time for us to fly away.
- In the morning the wheat will be cut.”
-
-
-
-
-[Illustration] MORNING SONG.
-
-
- What does little birdie say,
- In her nest at peep of day?
- “Let me fly,” says little birdie;
- “Mother, let me fly away.”
- Birdie, rest a little longer,
- Till the little wings are stronger.
- So she rests a little longer,
- Then she flies away.
- What does little baby say,
- In her bed at peep of day?
- Baby says, like little birdie,
- “Let me rise and fly away.”
- Baby, sleep a little longer,
- Till the little limbs are stronger.
- If she sleeps a little longer,
- Baby, too, shall fly 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 are 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 information page at

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread 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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.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 forty 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 not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website 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.
