And there was =Willie out in the cold. Willie was a little kitten. He did not know where to go. He wanted a home. He wanted a bed to sleep in. But there he was out in the cold with no home to go to. And there was =Tommy. He wanted a fish. He could see the fish in the water, but he could not get it on his string. The fish was cold, but fish like to be cold. Tommy was cold, too, but he did not like it at all. =Tommy had a house to go into. He put down the string and went into his house. So =Jack ran around and around and laughed and laughed. But he still had the hiccups, and =RedCalf still laughed at him. "=Daddy had hiccups," said =RedCalf. "He stood on his head. If you can do that, it may help." So =JackRabbit stood on his head, but that did not help at all. "This is bad," he said. And he went on his way. Mr =Zebra saw Jack coming. "I hear you have hiccups," he said. "Hiccups are very, very bad, if you do not do something for them." "Mr Zebra, I did what =RedCalf wanted me to do," said =Jack. "I ran around and around and I laughed and laughed. I stood on my head, too. But my hiccups did not go away." Mr =Black was very happy. We know he was happy. One day a big box came down on his head. That was no fun at all for him. But still he was very happy. Mrs =Black was happy, too. We know she was happy. One day her feet went up and she sat down in the water. She got very wet, but still she was happy. "Yellow for =Dick," said Mrs =Toosey "Blue for =Willie and violet for me. Now before you go, let me see if all the caps are here. Red cap, orange cap, yellow cap, green cap, blue cap, violet cap. Yes, they are all here. Now if all the caps come back, I will know all of you are here." First they put on the caps. Then they ran to the boat. "I will count to five," said =Tommy. "When I say Five, tip the boat. One, two, three, four, No! No! Not before I say Five. Now all of you count with me to five. One, two, three, four, five! Tip the boat!" They could not do it. "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet," said Mrs =Toosey. "I will say them and say them." =Janet went to her mother and said, "=Mother, I want to paint pictures. How can I get some paints? =Jack will not let me have his. I asked him for them just now. I wanted him to take my pencils. I wanted to give him my toy pig and some money to put into it, too. He just laughed at me." "Maybe you can still find a way to get some paints," said her mother. Just then =Janet saw =Dot. =Dot was on her way home. =Janet ran out to see her. "=Janet, see what I have" cried =Dot! "Here are some prizes for my party. Maybe you will get the first prize." "Maybe I will," said =Janet. Then she said to herself, "Maybe there are paints in one box. Maybe I will get them for a prize." =Andy put away his wagon. Soon the boys saw him coming back But he was not coming very fast. The boys wanted him to hurry. "Hurry up, =Andy," cried =Jack! "Hurry up, or we will never get down to see the circus parade. We want to get to =FirstStreet before the parade gets there. "We can't wait," cried =Dick. "Hurry up!" ~ "Wait" cried Andy!. "My shoe is coming off!" "We can't wait" said =Jack!. "The circus parade will be gone!" "Hurry up" said Dick! "We want to get to =FirstStreet before the circus wagons come !" His shoe was about to come off, but =Andy began to run. "How about =Tip now" Andy asked? "How do you like her clothes?" "She looks like a circus dog now," said =Dot. "But what is the little pail for?" "For my work," said Andy. "I'm going to water the elephants. "Why don't you get a big pail for that work?" asked =Dot. "Maybe I had better take time to do that, too," said =Andy. "This big pail will be better for my work," said =Andy. "What will you use for a bed after your work is done" asked Dot? "You are going to work hard. You will want a good bed when you have done all that work. Why don't you take something to use for beds for you and =Tip? You had better take time to get another wagon to put them in." "I had better do that," said Andy. On the way to the farm the horse went fast. Soon =Dot said, "=Daddy, there is the big gate. I like to play on that gate." "It is more fun to play on the other gate," said her daddy. "What other gate" asked Dot? "The wishing gate," said her daddy. "It is the gate to the next farm. I will have time to show it to you before I go to work." "There it is," said =Dot's daddy! "Is that a gate," asked Dot! "It is a wishing gate," said =Daddy. "Wishing gates are not like others. The next time we come out here maybe we will do some wishing." "=Daddy, if I make a wish here, will it come true," asked =Dot! "Maybe, if you think it will," =Daddy said as he went off to work. "=Jack, I have some work for you to do," his mother said one day. "Get a broom and clean the walk. That will not take long. Get it done by the time I come back." "Will the girls help me," Jack asked? "No," said his mother. "They have some work to do, too." She went walking down the street. =Jack went into the house. =Janet and =Penny went to work and soon they were done. =Jack came out with a broom, but he did not use it. He just stood looking around. "A broom is no good," he said. "I wish I had a better way to clean the walk. I guess I will make something to do the work in a hurry." &&000 LAIDLAW BROTHERS (1928) 1ST GRADE LAI9281S.ASC THE LAIDLAW READERS by Herman Dressel; M. M. Ververka & M.

I put my dolls all to bed No, =Tom, said =Father, that is not safe. The grass is dry, and there are many dry sticks in the woods. If a wind came, the fire would get away and burn the trees. It takes a long time for a tree to grow. Some of these trees are big. We must be good to the trees and take care of them, =Father said. Then he said, You boys go and get some water and put it on the fire. So =Pierre and =Bob and I got some water and put it on the fire.

I ran away from a man, a woman, a little boy, a bear, a pig, and a wolf. So I can run away from you! That did you say, my little man? asked the fox. Come up near. I cannot hear you. So the little man came up very near and called. I am running away. I ran away from a good woman, a big man, a little boy, an old bear, a fat pig, and a bad wolf. So I can run away from you !

She had three little chickens. One chicken was black, one was white, and one was brown. The white chick and the black chick could jump and run. The little brown chick could not jump. He could not run. The little brown chick had one eye, one wing, and one leg. His mother called him =HalfChick. But =Little =Half-Chick was not a good chick, and he did not like his home.

No, I shall go away, said =Half-Chick one day. I want to see the king. No, no! Do not go, my The wise old dog knew about horses and pigs. When she was hungry, she could open the door. She could say, Thank you. She knew where the big hole was in the cornfield. She did not go there. The best thing about =Bran was her beautiful brown pup. The pup had a soft coat like his mother's. His eyes were brown, too. That little dog was like a round ball. When he was cold, he went up to his mother to sleep by her warm coat. One day the puppy ran away. He ran away from the house. He played with the chickens and jumped at the goats. He put his little nose in the grass and took sticks in his mouth. He was like a little brown ball .
