LESSON? 2:
grows bread mouse look _ stalk

rich sheaf flour shall house
enough flies means stile —_ drive

Wheat grows in the rich earth
to make us bread. Men cut it
down, and tie it up like this, in
what is said to be a sheaf. The
grain is ground at the mill, and
it is then the flour, that we make
into bread. Cook makes it, not I.
A small mouse has put her nest
in the wheat. Look at her. Here
she is on the stalk of the wheat.
Hers is a small house, but it is big
enough for her. Do you see the
bee that flies over the sheaf ?

 

This boy does not live in the
town. He has a whip, and he
means to get over the stile, and go
to the wheat field, to drive the cart
home. He is a good boy. |
