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. 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. He lives in a tall house not far from the river. In the summer time he can see the ships as they sail up the river. His father has a boat, and sometimes Robert goes sailing in it. One day Robert saw a man with some bows and arrows to sell. "How much do you ask for your arrows?" he said. "Only three cents each," said the man. "Would you like to buy one?" Robert did not buy an arrow. He went home and made one that was just as good. Do you think he can use it? What does the summer bring? Green leaves, pretty flowers, busy bees, and birds of many kinds. It is then that we play in the woods and by the sea. When winter comes, the days are short and the nights are long. Then the cold north wind blows over the fields and woods. It blows over the meadow and the river and the high hills. It brings snow and ice. It makes our hands and faces cold. We do not like the north wind. All children are happy when winter comes. They like to see the snow. They like to play on the ice. They do not care if the north wind does make them shiver. Those who are dressed warm do not feel the cold very much. Sometimes the snow is so deep they can not go to school. In the evening, they sit in the warm house and read and play.
