"I do not like to sit still. Shall
we hunt for eggs in the barn?"
"No" said John; "I like to play on the grass. Will not papa let us catch
Prince, and go to the big woods?"
"We can put the tent in the cart, and go to some nice spot where the grass
is soft and sweet."
"That will be fine," said Fanny. "I will get my doll, and give her a ride
with us."
"Yes," said John, "and we will get mamma to go, too. She will hang up a
swing for us in the shade."

[Illustration: Girl kneeling by small chicken coop.]
Peep, peep! Where have you gone, little chick? Are you lost? Can't you get
back to the hen?
Oh, here you are! I will take you back. Here, hen, take this little chick
under your wing.
Now, chick, tuck your little, wet feet under you, and go to sleep for a
while.
Peep, peep! How safe the little chick feels now!
LESSON XXIX.

[Illustration: Boys playing with kite. A dog stand by the boys.]
This is a fine day. The sun shines bright. There is a good wind, and my
kite flies high. I can just see it.
The sun shines in my eyes; I will stand in the shade of this high fence.
Why, here comes my dog! He was under the cart.
