Lesson I..
EVENING AT HOME
1. It is winter. The cold wind
whistles through the branches of the trees.
2. Mr. Brown has done his day's
work, and his children, Harry and Kate, have come home from school. They
learned their lessons well today, and both feel happy.
3. Tea is over. Mrs. Brown has
put the little sitting room in order. The fire burns brightly. One lamp
gives light enough for all. On the stool is a basket of fine apples. They
seem to say, "Won't you have one?"
4. Harry and Kate read a story
in a new book. The father reads his newspaper, and the mother mends Harry's
stockings.
5. By and by, they will tell
one another what they have been reading about, and will have a chat over
the events of the day.
6. Harry and Kate's bedtime will
come first. I think I see them kiss their dear father and mother a sweet
good night.
7. Do you not wish that every
boy and girl could have a home like this?
