Lesson II..
BUBBLES
1. The boys have come out on
the porch to blow bubbles. The old cat is asleep on the mat by the door.
2. "Ha! ha!" laughs Robert, as
a bubble comes down softly on the old cat's back, and does not burst.
3. Willie tries to make his bubble
do the same. This time it comes down on the cat's face, and makes her sneeze.
4. "She would rather wash her
face without soap," says Harry. "Now let us see who can make the biggest
bubble."
5. "Mine is the biggest," says
Robert. "See how high it floats in the air! I can see -- ah! it has burst."
6. "I can see the house and the
trees and the sky in mine," says Willie; "and such beautiful colors."
7. "How many, Willie?"
8. "Red, one; blue, two; there
-- they are all out. Let us try again."
9. "I know how many colors there
are," says Harry. "Just as many as there are in the rainbow."
10. "Do you know how many that
is?"
