Grandpa gave me the little dog.
He likes to play with me.
His name is Jack.

Come, Jack; we are going to the barn.

Keep still, Jill. Do not fly away. I can give you a ride if you will keep still.

I have some corn in my pail.
I will feed you at the barn.

I like Jack and Jill, and they like me.

Do you want your breakfast,
Jack?

You shall have it pretty soon.
I must feed the hens now.

My ducks want some breakfast.

Mrs. Căt

Mrs. Mouse

Where are you going, Mrs. Mouse? I am going to the barn with my little mice.

I think they will like the barn. Oh no, Mrs. Mouse, do not go to

the barn!

Mrs. Cat is in the barn.

She will catch your baby mice.
Oh dear! what shall I do?
Come with me, Mrs. Mouse.
I will feed your little mice.
We have no cat here.

Oh thank you, little girl!
I love my baby mice.

I do not want the cat to catch them.

Teacher leads the children to imagine a mouse taking her family up the path to the barn.

Do look at this little pig!

I think he is pretty.

My grandpa had nine baby pigs. He let me take one in for mamma

to see.

I said, “What do you think I have, mamma?"

"A little dog?" "No, mamma. "A little kitty?" "No, mamma; it is a little pig."

'What! a little pig here in the

house!"

"Yes, mamma, a dear little white

pig."

Then I let mamma see it.

She said it was pretty.

I said, “Do you wish to take it,

mamma?"

She didn't wish to take it.
I gave it a saucer of milk.

Then I took it back to the barn.
It ran to its mamma.

This little pig wants something

to eat.

See the hens look at him.

Don't you like the little pig?
The hens have had some corn.
You shall have some corn.
I will get some for you.
Grandpa keeps it in the barn.
