They like to go with him to the
fields and the woods.

May we ride with you, Frank?

Yes, girls, get in! And you, too, boys!

Sit by me and see the good horse go.

Now we will go to the woods to find
flowers and see the pretty birds.

In one tree you can see a nest, but
you can not see the little birds.

You may see the big bird if she
comes to feed the little ones.

She has a pretty home high in the tree.
