IN THE WOOD.

  

<x. The boys and girls have gone
into the woods to play. The
nuts are ripe, and Tom wants to
knock some down with his stick.
Nell and Ann pick some from a
low bush; Rose is on her knees
to look at the ants at work, and
Ned throws stones into the pond at the leaves.
The sun shines, but they are in the shade, and
do not feel too warm under the fine old trees.
By-and-by, Nurse will bring out some cups and
the teapot, and they will have tea; the boughs of
the oak-tree will shade them. Ann will drink
milk, she does not like tea; but all six of them

will eat the nice cake Nurse gives them.
