LESSON. 5.

BRAVE HUGH.

ce OO OVUM

Hugh was out for a
walk one day in the
town, and as he went
downone of the streets,
a boy threw a stone
at him, and hurt him.

Hugh told him not to |

throw stones; but the

bad boy only made §
faces at him. Hugh}
went on, but by-and-

by he heard a loud
cry. He cast a look
back, and saw the bad

 

 

 

 

 

boy on the ground, and some horses just about
to go over him. Hugh tan and’ caught the
horses’ heads, and held them whilé:the bad boy
got up. So, though the boy had hurt him with
a stone, he saved the lad’s life at the risk of his
own, for the horses might have gone over him.
Was not Hugh a good, kind boy?
