Ruth opens her basket. Oh, now I see! Here are cherries, red cherries. Cherries for little Ruth, and cher Nellie has a pet squirrel. He is a gray squirrel. He lives in a tall tree. He runs up the tree like the wind. His little claws are very sharp. Here is a picture of the squirrel. See his long, bushy tail. See his big eyes. He is eating now. Squirrels like nuts. They hide them in the trees. Nellie feeds her squirrel every day. He comes to her door and eats nuts and corn. He comes into the house. “Will you live in my house?" Nellie says. But squirrel runs away. 66 Not I," he says. "I was made to live in a tree. Girls may live in houses, but squir rels live in trees." "I have five cents," says Rose. 66 What shall I buy?" 66 Buy a book," says Kate. Kate likes books. "Buy a drum," says Ned. Boys like drums. "Buy some candy," says Nell. 66 66 66 We all like candy." Buy some ribbon," says Fan. 'Buy a ribbon for your doll.” "Buy a horse," says Jack. 66 Then I can go to ride. I will take you to ride, too." What will five cents buy? |
