Come^ Ann and Jane, 
 and hear me read my 
 new book, which is 
 full of pleas-ing lit-tle 
 
 tales, and pret-ty pic-tnres. 
 
 Did you e-ver see a hen with 
 her lit-tle chick-ens, and how 
 care-ful she seems of them? 
 
 The chick-ens are such fat 
 lit-tle things. 
 
Aunt lias come to see mo-ther. 
 Un-cle keeps a farm, a long 
 
 ^ay from town. 
 
 But-ter is made from cream* 
 and cheese is made from curds 
 
 Mice are fond of cheese. 
 

 
 ioth curds and cream are got 
 from milko 
 
 Corn grows in the fields, and 
 is oround in the milL 
 
 Ap-ples and pears grow in the 
 or-chard. 
 
 Po-ta-toes grow^ in the fields ; 
 they are the root of a plant. 
 
 Peas and beans grow in the 
 fields^ and al-so in gar-dens.

 Tiiey ran u-bout, and pick up 
 their food so pret-ti-lj ; 
 
 And when they are cold^ they 
 run to their mo-ther. 
 
 liien they creep un-dcr her 
 wings., and that keeps them ve-ry 
 warm and com-fbrt-a-ble.

 The hawk is a bird that eab 
 c] lick-ens. 
 
 When a 
 lien sees a 
 hawk fiy- 
 
 s 
 
 mg m tiie 
 
 air, she calls her chick-ens, and 
 a-thers them iin-der her vv^ings. 
 
 The chick-ens al-ways come. 
 So when your mo-ther bids 
 you do a-ny thing, re-mem-ber 
 
 the chick-ens^ and o-bey her.

 The cows lie down on the 
 2;reeii o rass : 
 
 And we must |ig down on a 
 
 bed^ and go to sleep. 
 
 But when we are a-sleep, wdio 
 will will take care of us ? 
 
 We can-not take care of our- 
 selves. 
 
 But there is One who ne-ver 
 sleeps; that is, God. 
 
 Beg of Him to mvdvA iis. 
 
Let us ask Him to help us to 
 be good ; and to fbr-give us when 
 we have done wrong. 
 
 Let us thank Him for His 
 care o-ver us. He loves to see 
 lis hap-py and good.

 Jane has gone to see the wa- 
 ter-fall, and is sit-ting on a rock, 
 look-ing at it. 
 
 O-rang-es, figs, and grapes, are 
 grown in hot coim-tries^ and are 
 brought to Eng-land in ships. 
 
 Rai-sins are dried grapes, and 
 so are the cur-rants we put in-to 
 pud-dings. 
 
 Cur-rants come from Greece.

 See the kind shep-liercl^ play- 
 ing on his pipe, while he is 
 mind-ing the sheep. 
 
 It is night : the sun is set. 
 
 The lit-tle birds have done ; 
 sing-ing. They sleep on trees. > 
 
 The men have done their day's 
 la-bour ; and the lit-tle chil-dren 
 are ti-red and gone to bed. 
 
How shall we ask Him^ and 
 thank Him? % 
 
 We should go to church, and 
 pray to Him with our voice, and 
 in our hearts. 
 
 We may thank Him in words ; 
 but we must also thank Him in 
 our hearts. 
 
 He sees us in the night, as 
 well as in the day.
