vine bush wild grow

See this funny little tree!

What kind of tree is it?

It is not a tree,
it is a vine.

It is not so tall as some trees.

It looks like a wild rose vine.

Will it have roses on it?

Yes, I think some roses
will grow on it;
but I am not sure.

Wild roses come in June.

Some of them are very sweet.

My roses are not wild.

They do not grow on a vine.

They grow on a bush.

A bush looks like a little tree.

went came would down street sell

Little Henry went to school this morning.

All the children were glad to see
him as he came down the street.

He is a funny little boy, and I am
sure you would like him.

He says he will grow very fast
and soon be a man.

He likes to go to school.

REVIEW.

One day Henry took a pail with
him and went up the hill.

Do you think he went to get a pail
of water? I do not think so.

He went to find violets and wild
flowers in the woods.

After a little he came down; but
he would not let me look in his pail.

He would not tell me how many
flowers were in it.

"Who will buy my wild roses?"
he said. "Who will buy my
sweet violets?

I came down the street to sell my
flowers. But now I must say
they do not sell very well."

sun sunflower know

Do you know the name of this big
yellow flower?

What kind of flower is it?

Oh, I know.

It is a sunflower.

Does it look like the sun?

It likes the sun.

Do you know what
sunflowers are good for?

Yes, they are good to look at.

If you will go to the field on the
hill, you may see many of them.

They are not sweet flowers, like
your violets and some others.

If you will give me one of your
pretty roses, you may have all
the sunflowers I can find.

I like roses and sweet violets.

I like to see big, yellow sunflowers,
too; but I do not care to take
them home with me. Do you?

y you yes yellow y
