THE NEW MCGUFFEY FIRST READER

Sometimes these little girls find
pretty shells in the sand.

I think all children like to play
on the beach when the sun is warm,
and the wind does not blow.

only every use driver

What does the man say?

He says, "Good sweet apples,
only two cents each! Ripe, sweet
apples, yellow as gold! Who will
buy my apples this warm summer
morning?"

You can hear him as he goes
down the road. "Who wants to
buy a nice red apple?"

The apples are in the wagon.

The man walks in the road, behind
the wagon, and tells every one that
he has apples to sell.

His little dog rides in the wagon
and looks at the horse.

Is he not a funny driver?

The horse does not go very fast.

He knows that his driver can not
use a whip..

"Oh, who wants to buy some
good apples this bright summer
morning?"

just hand told town brother

Do you know these three boys?

The tall boy in the wagon is
Frank Brown. The little boy is
Henry. He is Frank's brother.

The boy on the horse is John
Day. See how well he can ride!

Frank is a good driver. He sits
in the wagon, and the horse goes
just as he is told.

Frank has a whip in his hand,
but he does not use it.

Henry's little dog runs behind.
Sometimes he has to run very fast
to keep up with the wagon.

Do you know where the boys are
going?

I think they are going to town.

I wonder what they will buy in
town.

Henry says he will buy a book
with pretty pictures in it. He can
not read very well, but he likes to
look at books.

John wants to ride down to the
river and look at the boats. He
would buy a new boat if he could.
But he has only one cent, and what
can he buy with that?

Frank says they will not stay in
town long. They must go home
very soon.

happy often ask bow arrow Robert

The name of this little boy is
Robert. He is a busy boy.

He lives in a big town, and he
does not often see the fields and
the green woods.

Yet he is just as happy as Frank
and John and little Henry.
