McGuffey, William Holmes, 1800-1873

"McGuffey's Eclectic Primer, Revised Edition"

]
The boys have made a big snow man.
They have put a tall hat on his head, and an old pipe in his mouth.
Hear them laugh as they play!
It is good fun for the boys.
They would like to have it snow all day and all night.

LESSON XLIV.
sweets mean please bee buzz vine could
said (sed) once (wuns)
[Illustration: Bee flying near vine.]
"Buzz! buzz!" a bee said to Mary.
"What do you mean?" said Mary. "Please tell me once more."
"Buzz! buzz! buzz!" but Mary could not tell its wants.
I think it said, "Please let me get some sweets in this vine.

LESSON XLV.--REVIEW.
One day Nat and I sat on the high hill by the sea, where the tall
lighthouse stands. We could look far out, and could see the ships at sea.
As we sat there, we saw a man near by, with some sheep and lambs. The man
had a pipe in his mouth. He sat with us, and let the sheep eat the grass.
What fun it is to see lambs play! It made us laugh to see them.
The man said that once, when the sheep and lambs were out in the snow, an
old wolf took one of the lambs, and ran off with it.
I think that men should watch their sheep, so that a wolf can not catch
them.

LESSON XLVI.
while might time things done right your halves
[Illustration: Script Exercise:
Work while you work,
Play while you play,
One thing each time,
That is the way.
