apples, Frank?

I will sell you the green ones
for three cents each. But I must
have more for these yellow ones.
They are sweet apples.

I think I must have four cents
each for these.

Oh, Frank! You want too much for
your apples. We can not buy them
to-day. We can not give so much.

Well, then, children, I will tell
you what I will do. I will give
you as many apples as you want.

Thank you, Frank. You are very
kind. Will you give one of your
sweet apples to each of us?

Yes, here are three apples for
each of you; and I have four to
take home to mother.

Can you tell how many apples
Frank has?

Is he not a good, kind boy to give
all his apples away?

Come, Henry, let us take a walk
this warm morning. Where
would you like to go?

Shall we go to the green woods?

Or shall we go down to the field
and help the boys plant corn?

Tell me which way we shall go.

Oh, let us go out where the wild
flowers grow.

Then we can see the birds in the
trees, and the bees at their work.

Why do the bees fly from flower
to flower? Do they like to
work when the sun is warm?

Tell me why the bees are so busy
all the day.

I will tell you all about them when
we have found one at work.
But come now, let us walk out
to the green woods.

set shines moon bright light night

These four children have gone out
to see the sun set.

The sun is high in the sky now.

By and by it will set behind the hills.

The sun shines in the day time.

It helps to keep us warm.

It gives us light.

When it goes down we have night.

Then the stars come out and shine.

The moon shines at night, too.

But it is not so bright as the sun.

On some nights the moon does not
shine at all.

Do you like to see the moon?

Yes, I like to see it.

I like to see its pretty light.

We can look at the moon; but we
can not look at the sun.

It is too bright for us to look at.
