The next morning Miss =Youngbird looked at =Jim and said, Would you like to tell us a story today? I sure would, said =Jim. But I can't tell about my dad's job. Because I don't have a dad living at home. I'd like to tell about my uncle and the baseball game. All the boys and girls wanted to hear Jim's story. So he began to tell it. Across the room some women were working with a machine that put the chocolate into a large pan. The chocolate was running into little squares in the pan. What are those women doing? I asked. They are putting the candy into a mold, =Grandmother answered. A mold? What is a mold? I asked. Do you see that woman over there lifting that large pan? asked =Grandmother. Yes, I answered. Well, that pan is called a mold, =Grandmother told me. One day =Ah =Jim had been watching the pets on the balconies. He said to his mother, I would like to have a pet. Ah =Jim's mother was cooking dinner. She didn't even look at him. He said it three times before his mother answered him. Our family is big and our apartment is small, she said.

But there was one thing the king did not have. He did not have a birthday present for the queen. I asked him why the leaves come down in the fall. My father looked up at the big tree.

We went out into the yard and made a kite. I tied on the kite string and got rags for the tail. We went to the zoo, and what a zoo it was! We got there when it opened and stayed until it got dark and it was time to close. We had a peek in the elephant house. We saw them give the elephants a bath. I like to watch the elephants lean toward the water. One elephant pushes its head all the way under the water. We saw many animals we knew and many we didn't know. There was a little zoo inside the big zoo. They had ducks, goats, and other animals to pet and feed. We heard a storyteller. She told a story about how the snake got its poison.

The shoemaker always sang as he worked. When the people of the village heard him singing, they hurried to knock on his door. Then they watched him fix old shoes and listened to his happy songs. Next door to the shoemaker lived a rich man. He had all the things he wanted. But the rich man was still unhappy. Night after sleepless night, he thought only about his money. He was so scared that someone would take his money that he sometimes did not fall asleep until the sun came up. Early each morning the shoemaker got out of bed, excited about a new day. He sat at his work table and began to work and sing. The singing woke the rich man from his sleep. =Ostrich and =Elephant rode the Ferris wheel. "That was scary!" said =Ostrich. "But I liked it!"

What do you feed your frog? =Bill asked. It likes bugs, =Jack said. =Cindy made a face and said, It's silly to like bugs. Not for a frog, said =Jack. =Cindy put out her hand to take the frog. Will you come to me? she asked, but the frog did not come. She picked up the frog and sat it on her hand. Then she laughed and said, It feels like ice!

The Oak and the Reeds A huge oak tree grew by a river. One day there were very high winds, and the tree was shaken by each blast of wind. At last it broke and fell with a crash. It hit the river bank below. It lay between some reeds which were bending with the wind. When the wind stopped, the tree spoke to the reeds. I am bigger than you are, said the tree. Why was I broken by the wind while you were not? We bent till the wind went by, said the reeds. You stayed stiff. The Eagle and the Crow A large eagle was flying high in the sky. On the ground below she saw a baby sheep. She swooped down and grabbed it in her claws and carried it away to her nest. A small crow saw her do it. How easy that was, said the crow. I shall try the same thing. The crow saw a large sheep. He flew down and sank his claws into its coat. He flapped his wings, but the sheep was too heavy to lift. Then the crow tried to let go, but his claws were caught. The shepherd caught him. The crow said, It was easy for the eagle. The Fox and the Stork One day a fox invited a stork for dinner. He decided to play a joke on the stork. He served the broth in a large, flat dish. The fox was able to lap up the broth very well. But the stork's bill was too long. Only the tip went in. The unhappy stork was not able to suck up the broth. She had to go home hungry. The next day the stork invited the fox for dinner. The stork served the food in a tall, thin pitcher. Her long bill went into it very well, but the jaw of the fox was too short. This time, the fox had to go home hungry. The Two Frogs Two frogs lived in a lake. One summer it was very, very hot. The lake dried up. The thirsty frogs hopped away to find water. At last they found a deep well with a little water at the bottom. Let's jump in, said one. Now wait! cried the other. This well may dry up too. It is easy to jump down into a well, but it is not easy to jump out. The lake was deep. The frogs were dry. The well was thirsty. &&000 OPEN COURT (198) 1ST GRADE OPN9861S.ASC ON A BLUE HILL Level C Marianne Carus 2nd half of 1st grade according to Teacher's Edition but odd because 2st half is normally a Primer and Level B is so simple BUT Level D is 2nd grade according to same book Source: SUNY Cortland xerox, scan, edit by DPH January 30, 1993 &&111 If you're not sure, try an experiment.

On the way they passed some young men who laughed at them because they were leading the donkey when one of them could be riding it. When the man heard them laughing, he had his son ride on the donkey, and the man walked beside him. They went along in this way for a while until they met an old man. You lazy rascal, the old man called out. You ought to walk and let your father ride the donkey. The boy blushed with shame and got off the donkey so that his father could ride it. The father then got on the donkey, and the boy walked beside him. They went along in this way for a little while until they met a young man. or more. It is so cold up there that cirrus clouds contain tiny ice crystals instead of water droplets. Often we see cirrus clouds ahead of a storm. Lower down in the sky, you may see much bigger clouds pushing up. At the top they may look like giant balls of cotton. At the bottom they are flat. All the time they seem to be swelling and boiling up. They may be two or three miles from bottom to top. These are cumulus clouds. On a sunny afternoon, these clouds are likely to be white. The tips may shine in the sunlight. We might call them fair-weather clouds. But sometimes cumulus clouds turn into black storm clouds. Then they reach as high as three or four miles into the sky. Often they bring thunder and lightning as well as rain and hail. Sometimes the sky seems covered by a gray sheet. You see no blue sky. You see no white clouds. Streaks of gray cover all. It is as though layers of fog had lifted from the earth to the sky. The gray sheet is really a low cloud. This is called a stratus cloud. As clouds change, the weather is apt to change.

Pretty soon she saw a big steam engine standing on a sidetrack, looking very big and strong. Running alongside, she looked up and said, Will you help me over the hill with my train of cars? It is so long and heavy that I can't get it over. The big steam engine looked down at the little steam engine. Then she said, Don't you see that I have finished my day's work? I have been rubbed and scoured, ready for my next run. No, I cannot help you. The race began, and soon the hare was far ahead of the tortoise. But the hare ran so fast that he became tired. He stopped by the side of the road and lay down to take a nap. He was sure that he would wake up in time to beat the tortoise. The tortoise plodded slowly on. When the hare woke up, the tortoise was near the goal. The hare jumped up and ran as fast as he could toward the goal line, but he was not in time. The tortoise crossed the goal line first and won the race. The tortoise turned to the other animals and said, I learned long ago that if you do something steadily you can often do it well, even if you are slow.

We all knew that the scouts had come in and reported buffalo near and that we must all keep the camp in stillness. Even the horses and dogs were quiet, and all night not a horse neighed and not a dog barked. Quiet was everywhere. The night before a buffalo hunt was always an exciting night, even though it was quiet in camp. There would be much talk in the tepees around the fires. There would be sharpening of arrows and of knives. New bowstrings would be made, and quivers would be filled with arrows. It was in the fall of the year, and the evenings were cool as =Father and I sat by the fire and talked over the hunt. I was only eight years of age, and I knew that my father did not expect me to get a buffalo at all, but only to try perhaps for a small calf should I be able to get close enough to one. I was greatly excited as I sat and watched =Father working in his easy, firm way. You can picture me, I think, as I sat in the glow of the campfire, my little brown body bare to the waist, watching, listening to my father. My hair hung down my back, and I wore moccasins and breechcloth of buckskin. To my belt was fastened a rawhide holster for my knife, and this night, I remember, I kept it on all night. I went to sleep with my bow One day =Betsy =Ross heard a knock at the door of her little shop in =Philadelphia. Her uncle, =General =Ross, and =George =Washington, were at the door. Could you make us something special? they asked. We want a flag for our thirteen colonies. A flag? =Betsy answered. I have never made a flag before, but I will gladly try. What should it look like? We had an idea that it should have thirteen stars and thirteen stripes. Like this. Then the men drew a little picture of what they had in mind. The stars they drew were six-pointed. But, =Betsy said, the stars would be easier to make with five points. We thought it would be simpler with six points, like two triangles fitted together. Let me show you, =Betsy said. She cut out a five-pointed star with one snip of her scissors. The men liked the way she made the star, and so =Betsy =Ross made the first =American flag. Every country in the world has its own flag. The flag of our country has many names. Some call it the =Stars and =Stripes. Some call it =Old =Glory. Some call it the =Red, =White, and =Blue. But most people call it the =American =Flag. If you look closely at the =American flag, you will see that it has =fifty stars and thirteen stripes. Seven of the stripes are foot slipped, and he fell head over heels into the batter. His mother did not notice him. She kept on stirring the batter; then she poured the batter into a pot and set it on the fire to boil. =Tom's mouth filled up with batter so that he couldn't cry out. Soon he began to feel the hot water, and he began kicking and struggling in the pot. His mother thought that the pudding was bewitched, so she took the pot off the stove and threw the pudding outside the door. Just then a tinker was passing by. He saw the pudding, picked it up, dusted it off, and was just about to eat it. But by now =Tom had got his mouth cleared of the batter, and he began to cry out. =Tom's cries so frightened the tinker that he dropped the pudding and ran off. The pudding bowl broke to pieces by the fall, and =Tom, who was covered all over with batter, crawled out and ran home. His mother felt very sorry to see him in such a terrible state. She prepared a bath for him in a teacup and soon washed the batter off him. Then she kissed him and laid him on his bed. Another day =Tom's mother went to milk her cow in the meadow, and she took =Tom along with her. There was a strong wind. She tied =Tom to a thistle with a piece of thread so that he wouldn't get blown away while she was milking the cow. But soon the cow spied =Tom's oak-leaf hat, which looked =Aesop Once the wind and the sun had a great quarrel. The wind said he was stronger than the sun. The sun said he was stronger than the wind. They wished for some way to see which was the stronger. Soon a man came along the road. See that man, said the wind. I can make him take off his coat. No, you cannot, said the sun, but I can. We will try, they both said. The wind said he would try first. He blew as hard as he could. What a noise he made! The man said, It is very cold. So he did not take off his coat but pulled it tighter around himself. At last the wind said, I cannot make the man take off his coat. Then the sun tried. He made no noise. He shone hotter and hotter. How warm it is! said the man. Then he took off his coat. See what I did! said the sun to the wind. I made the man take off his coat. I am stronger than you. Which do you think was the stronger, the wind or the sun? Our country's birthday is the =Fourth of =July, which is one of our great holidays. We celebrate the =Fourth of =July because we want to remember the day our country was born. On that day there are parades and picnics, and when night comes, many people gather to watch fireworks light up the sky. At first our country was only a group of colonies. There were thirteen =American colonies, and they all belonged to =England. But =England is a country far across the =Atlantic =Ocean, and the king of =England did not care much about the people who lived in =American. He tried to make them obey laws and pay taxes that they thought were unfair. The leaders of the =American colonies wanted =American to be free from =England. One of these leaders was =Thomas =Jefferson. He wrote the =Declaration of Independence, which told the world that =American was going to make itself free from =England. For seventeen days =Jefferson sat at his desk and wrote and rewrote. He had always believed that people could rule The =Indians of the East The =Indians who lived in the eastern part of the =United =States were hunters and farmers. They tracked animals silently in the thick forests, they fished in the swift streams, and they grew many crops. An =Indian hunter had to bring home fresh deer meat, or his family would be disappointed. He had to find deer tracks and follow them quietly until he could see the deer. He could not step on a dry twig, or the deer would hear him and dash away into the forest. When he was close to the deer, he would draw an arrow Sing a Song of People Sing a song of people Walking fast or slow; People in the city, Up and down they go.

Just before he closed his eyes however, the rooster once more took a long look in all four directions. All of a sudden he saw a tiny light glowing among the trees. I can see a light, he shouted down to his companions. There has to be a house not far away! We must get up and go there, said the donkey. These quarters here are none too comfortable. I would not mind a few bones with a little meat, said the dog. So they started out toward the light, which became bigger and bigger, until at last they found themselves in front of a brightly lit house of robbers. The donkey, being the tallest, crept to the window and looked in. What do you see, =Long-ears? asked the rooster. I see a table covered with delicious food and drink and robbers sitting around it and having a good time, answered the donkey. That would be just the thing for us! said the rooster. Oh my, yes, if only we could be sitting in there, replied the donkey. The animals put their heads together and tried to think of a way to chase the robbers away. At last they settled upon a plan. The donkey had to stand at the window with his forefeet on the ledge. The dog jumped on the donkey's back, the cat climbed on the dog's back, and finally the rooster flew up and perched himself on top of the cat. This done, the donkey gave Are my children alive? cried the mother goat. And quickly she ran back for a pair of scissors and a needle and thread. Quietly she cut open the wolf. Out popped one little kid, then the next, and the next, until all six were dancing around on the ground. The wolf had been so greedy that he had swallowed them whole. How happy they were! But there was no time to lose. Go and fetch some large stones, said the mother goat, and we will put them in the wolf s stomach. =So each little goat got a large stone, and the mother goat put the seven stones where the little kids had been and sewed them up. Then the goat and her children all ran away and hid. Soon the wolf woke up, and he was very thirsty. He found a well and leaned over to drink, but the stones made him topheavy, and in he tumbled. So the wicked wolf was drowned. The seven little kids and the mother danced joyfully around the well, and they lived happily ever after in their little cottage on the edge of the wood. One day a poor farmer found a large turnip in his garden. I will take this turnip to the king, he said, and offer it to him as a gift. He is always glad when we have good crops in our gardens and fields. So the farmer carried the turnip to the castle. The king took it and admired its great size and beauty. Then he said some kind words to the poor man and gave him three gold pieces. Near the village where the poor farmer lived was another farmer. He was very rich, and he always wanted to be richer. He heard about the kindness which the king had shown to the poor farmer and about the money he had given him. I have a big calf, said he, the largest and finest calf in the country. I will take it to the king and offer it as a gift. If That didn't seem to =Einstein to be a good answer. He didn't believe it was a silly question at all. So he stopped asking about light but he didn't stop thinking about it. And that was his first discovery. You don't have to believe what people tell you. You can think about things as much as you like. So he kept on thinking about it, and the more he thought about it the more he decided that the problem was that light moves so fast. When you turn on the light in the kitchen, it fills the whole room immediately. And when you turn the light off, it disappears immediately. ran, and birds flew away from the fire.

Tabby was very good at catching mice, and soon there were no more mice in the attic. =Dick's master owned many ships. One day he called all his servants together. He told them that one of his ships was about to sail to a faraway land. There would be many things on the ship to be traded and sold. Each of you may send something of your own on the ship, he said. When it is sold you may get much gold and silver. =Poor =Dick had nothing except =Tabby, his cat, so he sent that. After the cat left, =Dick became so lonely and unhappy that he decided to run away. He had not gone far when he heard church bells ringing. They said: Turn around, =Dick =Whittington, turn round, Three times =Mayor of =London =Town.

Then =Ganesh looked at her and saw that she was growing old and feeble. I am young and strong, he thought. I'll see if I cannot find some work to do. If I could bring some money home to her, she would not have to work so hard. So next morning, bright and early, he started down to the river bank. There he found a man who was in great trouble. There was a long line of wagons so heavily loaded that the oxen could not draw them through the shallow water. When the man saw =Ganesh standing on the bank, he asked, Who owns this elephant? I want to hire him to help my oxen pull these wagons across the river. One time a hare said to the other animals, I can beat anybody in a race. I can run like the wind. Who will dare to race with me? The animals did not say anything because they were afraid that the hare would beat them. But then the tortoise said quietly, =I will run a race with you. That is a good joke, laughed the hare. Why, I will be out of sight before you get started. Wait until you have won the race before you say anything, said the tortoise. Shall we race? The hare agreed.

I have 00034 111 something for you two to do, =Grandfather said. He got up out of his 00035 111 armchair. Is it a game, asked =Sue? It's a secret, said 00036 111 =Grandfather. =Tom and =Sue walked with =Grandfather out of the 00037 111 house to the garden. =Grandfather took something out of his coat. 00038 111 What is that, =Tom asked?

We will buy you 00066 111 a nice coat, said Mrs =Best. =Green is nice, said =Mark. Do you 00067 111 need any help, asked Mr =Park. Yes, thank you. Where are coats for 00068 111 boys, asked Mr =Best? Coats can be found over there, said Mr =Park. 00069 111 Mr =Best said, here is a nice red coat. Here is a nice blue coat, 00070 111 said Mrs =Best. Take your coat off and put these two coats on, 00071 111 said Mr =Best. The red coat is much too big, said Mr =Best. The 00072 111 blue coat is much too small, said Mrs =Best. That's good, said 00073 111 =Mark. I want a green coat. 00074 111 Yesterday the big elephant and the little elephant ate lunch in 00075 111 their home. Today both elephants want to have lunch with their 00076 111 friends, the tiger and the seal. Lunchtime came. The little 00077 111 elephant put some peanuts into a small bag. He put the bag upon 00078 111 his head. The big elephant put four dishes into the box. She put the 00079 111 box on her head. Both elephants walked to the far end of the zoo. 00080 111 The elephant looked into the seal house. Then they looked into the 00081 111 Tiger house. But their friends were not there. Both elephants went 00082 111 into the park. And there they found their friends. The elephants 00083 111 started to take their lunch out. Both the seal and the tiger 00084 111 wanted to help. Thank you but there is not too much work to do, 00085 111 both elephants said. Play and have fun. Soon we will have a nice 00086 111 lunch. The big elephant put the dishes upon the table. The little 00087 111 elephant put the peanuts upon the dishes. Time for lunch, said the 00088 111 little elephant. Come and sit down. The animals sat down to eat. 00089 111 The tiger said, I don't eat peanuts. I eat meat. The seal said, 00090 111 I don't eat peanuts, I eat fish. The elephants did not know what 00091 111 to do. Then the tiger and the seal both said, We want to go home and 00092 111 they ran home. Soon the elephants saw the tiger and the seal. The 00093 111 tiger had some meat.

This time she 00016 111 was very, very far away. i like this, said =Carla. But it is not 00017 111 where I want to be. =Carla closed her book. I went so far away, she 00018 111 said. But I was here all the time. =Carla looked out of her house. 00019 111 =She saw her grandmother's house. Now that is very special, =Carla 00020 111 said. 00021 111 There are many people working in this room. They are finding out 00022 111 about the weather. A number of things help these people find out 00023 111 about the weather. This woman uses a thermometer. She can find out 00024 111 if the air outside is warm or cold. There are numbers on the 00025 111 thermometer. The woman reads the numbers. There is a red line on 00026 111 the thermometer. If the red line goes to a higher number, it is 00027 111 warmer. If the red line goes to a low number, it is colder. The red 00028 111 line is going to a low number. The woman reads the numbers on the 00029 111 thermometer. She knows it will be a very cold day. 00030 111 While =Pam was up in the tree, a bid red truck pulled up. It was the 00031 111 firefighters! We got a call about a cat in a tree, one firefighter 00032 111 said. But all I see is a funny porcupine, I have the cat, =Pam 00033 111 called down. Good, said the firefighter. But why are you not in 00034 111 school? So =Pam told the firefighter all about that day. She told 00035 111 the firefighter why she was late. =Pam even told him about the 00036 111 school show. The show must go on, said the firefighter. Jump in the 00037 111 truck. We will give you a ride. Soon =Pam was at school. She 00038 111 got there just as the bus did. The show must go on, she called 00039 111 to her teacher! And it is not even late! 00040 111 A little mouse went for a walk with his mother. They went to the 00041 111 top of a hill and looked at the sky. Look, said =Mother. We can 00042 111 see pictures in the clouds. The little mouse and his mother saw many 00043 111 pictures in the clouds. They saw a castle, a rabbit, a mouse. 00044 111 I am going to pick flowers, said =Mother. I will stay here and watch 00045 111 the clouds, said the little mouse. The little mouse saw a big cloud 00046 111 in the sky. it grew bigger and bigger. The cloud became a cat. The 00047 111 cat came nearer and nearer to the little mouse. Help, shouted the 00048 111 little mouse, and he ran to his mother. There is a big cat in the 00049 111 sky, cried the little mouse! I am afraid. =Mother looked up at the 00050 111 sky. Do not be afraid, she said. 00051 111 The main work of the old-time ranch hand was looking after the 00052 111 cattle. Cattle need hay and good water. The old-time ranch hand 00053 111 let the cattle move across the ranch to find these things. Today 00054 111 ranch hands look after cattle. But they don't do it the same way. 00055 111 They let the cattle stay where they are. They carry hay to the 00056 111 cattle in trucks. The old-time cowboy let the cattle run all 00057 111 across the ranch. Today there are many trucks on the roads. The 00058 111 cattle could get hurt. So today ranch hands make their cattle 00059 111 stay behind fences. They must make sure all the fences and roads 00060 111 are in good shape. 00061 111 =Jomo got up and went outside. Again he said, Good people, do you 00062 111 know what I am going to say? This time all the people said, Yes. 00063 111 =Jomo said, You already know. So why should I tell you what you 00064 111 already know? Go home and think about this again. The people went 00065 111 home to think. And =Jomo could rest for one more day. The people 00066 111 came together to talk. They talked about what =Jomo ate day 00067 111 after day. They talked about =Jomo sleeping in their homes each 00068 111 night. So far =Jomo had not told them even one thing. The people 00069 111 thought about what to do. They came up with a new plan. 00070 111 Good day, Mrs =Fly. I am going to get a drink. Why don't you come 00071 111 with me? They walk some more and find =Rabbit, =Horse and =Duck 00072 111 sleeping. Just look at them! They look so nice, sleeping the day 00073 111 away. Why don't you stop and sleep too? I have other things to 00074 111 do. We turtles are slow but sure. I would not be a turtle if I let 00075 111 myself stop. =Turtle and =fly walk to the water. They drink it. 00076 111 The =Rabbit, =Horse and =Duck get up and run to the water. How 00077 111 can this be. How could you get here first? I am a turtle, you know. 00078 111 A very slow turtle. Yes, I am slow. But I am also very sure. Slow 00079 111 but sure, that is the way to be. 00080 111 The next day =Mark came over. Just look at those big red apples, 00081 111 said =Mark. Why don't we eat a few? They do look good, said =Paco. 00082 111 But maybe they will get even better. Maybe it's too soon to pick 00083 111 them. A few more days went by. What are you going to do about 00084 111 the apples, said =Paco's father? Don't you think it's time to 00085 111 pick them? The apples will not be good for a while, said =Paco's 00086 111 mother. They will fall off the tree. Then it will be too late to 00087 111 eat them. =Paco looked at the apples and said again, but maybe 00088 111 it's still too soon. That night =Paco had a dream while he was 00089 111 sleeping. =Paco had a dream about his apple tree. This was =Paco's 00090 111 dream. =Paco was standing under his tree. 00091 111 There are many mountains in the park. The one called =GrandTeton 00092 111 is the tallest. There is snow on its top. There are four lakes in 00093 111 the park too. The water in the lakes is very clean. Many people 00094 111 like to go in the water when the weather is warm. Deer, porcupines 00095 111 rabbits and turtles are just some of the animals that live in the 00096 111 park. These animals roam through the woods. They go down to the 00097 111 lakes to drink. Many ducks fly through the =GrandTetonPark on their 00098 111 way to warmer weather. Some of them stop at the lakes to rest. The 00099 111 animals find enough to eat in the park most of the time. 00000 000 SCOTT FORESMAN BEGINNING READER LEVEL 1 BOOK 1 DY1:SCOT11.TXT 00000 000 TAKING OFF no authors credited in front LEVEL 2A DISK 90; 539 00000 000 1981.

You will need something to cut with. You 00032 111 will need something to draw lines with. 00033 111 One day =Sue and =Tom walked to =Grandfather's house. I have 00034 111 something for you two to do, =Grandfather said. He got up out of his 00035 111 armchair. Is it a game, asked =Sue? It's a secret, said 00036 111 =Grandfather. =Tom and =Sue walked with =Grandfather out of the 00037 111 house to the garden. =Grandfather took something out of his coat. 00038 111 What is that, =Tom asked? It's a secret seed. =Grandfather said. 00039 111 Plant it for me. After it grows, you will see what it is. =Tom 00040 111 and =Sue planted to seed. =Grandfather took out some more seeds. 00041 111 =Sue and =Tom planted seed all day. At the end of the day, 00042 111 =Grandfather had not said what the seeds would be. All =Grandfather 00043 111 said was, After the seeds grow, you will know. Soon the seeds 00044 111 will grow. 00045 111 =Jim, =Pete is here, =Jim's mother said. =Pete said, Look at this 00046 111 pretty green kite I have. Do you want to come with me and fly 00047 111 the kite in the park? That would be great, said =Jim! =Mother, 00048 111 can I go to the park? You can go, said =Mother. =Pam, =Jim is 00049 111 going to the park, =Mother said. Would you like to go with =Jim? 00050 111 Great, said =Pam. She put down the book that she was reading. 00051 111 That's a pretty kite you have =Pete, said =Pam. I know something 00052 111 about kites. You are too little to know something about kites, said 00053 111 =Jim. =Jim said to =Pam, You go play. =Pete and I are going to 00054 111 fly the kite. Can't I fly the kite with you, asked =Pam? 00055 111 =Nan and her father came over to my house today. They came on 00056 111 bikes. I said, First, I want to ask =Carla to come too. And we ran 00057 111 all the way to =Carla's house. Do you want to come on our picnic 00058 111 today, =Nan asked. =Carla said, Thank you. That would be fun. 00059 111 So =Carla got something to eat and drink. She put these things 00060 111 in a paper bag. Then she pulled out her bike. We walked to my house 00061 111 to get =Nan's father. On the way, I said, what a great day for a 00062 111 picnic. At my house, =Nan's father was talking to my mother and 00063 111 father. I got something to eat and drink. 00064 111 Today, Mr =Best, Mrs =Best and =Mark are going to buy =Mark a new 00065 111 coat. Will you buy me a green coat, asked =Mark? We will buy you 00066 111 a nice coat, said Mrs =Best. =Green is nice, said =Mark. Do you 00067 111 need any help, asked Mr =Park. Yes, thank you. Where are coats for 00068 111 boys, asked Mr =Best? Coats can be found over there, said Mr =Park. 00069 111 Mr =Best said, here is a nice red coat. Here is a nice blue coat, 00070 111 said Mrs =Best. Take your coat off and put these two coats on, 00071 111 said Mr =Best. The red coat is much too big, said Mr =Best. The 00072 111 blue coat is much too small, said Mrs =Best. That's good, said 00073 111 =Mark. I want a green coat. 00074 111 Yesterday the big elephant and the little elephant ate lunch in 00075 111 their home. Today both elephants want to have lunch with their 00076 111 friends, the tiger and the seal. Lunchtime came. The little 00077 111 elephant put some peanuts into a small bag. He put the bag upon 00078 111 his head. The big elephant put four dishes into the box. She put the 00079 111 box on her head. Both elephants walked to the far end of the zoo. 00080 111 The elephant looked into the seal house. Then they looked into the 00081 111 Tiger house. But their friends were not there. Both elephants went 00082 111 into the park. And there they found their friends. The elephants 00083 111 started to take their lunch out. Both the seal and the tiger 00084 111 wanted to help. Thank you but there is not too much work to do, 00085 111 both elephants said. Play and have fun. Soon we will have a nice 00086 111 lunch. The big elephant put the dishes upon the table. The little 00087 111 elephant put the peanuts upon the dishes. Time for lunch, said the 00088 111 little elephant. Come and sit down. The animals sat down to eat. 00089 111 The tiger said, I don't eat peanuts. I eat meat. The seal said, 00090 111 I don't eat peanuts, I eat fish. The elephants did not know what 00091 111 to do. Then the tiger and the seal both said, We want to go home and 00092 111 they ran home. Soon the elephants saw the tiger and the seal. The 00093 111 tiger had some meat. The seal had a fish. 00000 000 SCOTT FORESMAN 1ST GRADE READER --LEVEL 4 1981 SCOT15.TXT 00000 000 KICK UP YOUR HEELS no author in front 00000 000 TRANSCRIBED BY DPH 3/83 00000 000 STR.

Give up? 00007 111 He is a porcupine! Mr =Quills is a good name for a porcupine. 00008 111 His fur is full of long, sharp quills. Don't play with Mr =Quills. 00009 111 You could get hurt. Mr =Quills lives where it is cold. He lives 00010 111 where there are many trees. He likes to sit for a long time in the 00011 111 trees. 00012 111 =Carla opened her eyes again. She was in front of her book. Where 00013 111 can I go next, she asked? It must be somewhere very, very far away. 00014 111 I will need to take this special spaceship. =Carla closed her eyes 00015 111 again. And there was =Carla on the special spaceship! This time she 00016 111 was very, very far away. i like this, said =Carla. But it is not 00017 111 where I want to be. =Carla closed her book. I went so far away, she 00018 111 said. But I was here all the time. =Carla looked out of her house. 00019 111 =She saw her grandmother's house. Now that is very special, =Carla 00020 111 said. 00021 111 There are many people working in this room. They are finding out 00022 111 about the weather. A number of things help these people find out 00023 111 about the weather. This woman uses a thermometer. She can find out 00024 111 if the air outside is warm or cold. There are numbers on the 00025 111 thermometer. The woman reads the numbers. There is a red line on 00026 111 the thermometer. If the red line goes to a higher number, it is 00027 111 warmer. If the red line goes to a low number, it is colder. The red 00028 111 line is going to a low number. The woman reads the numbers on the 00029 111 thermometer. She knows it will be a very cold day. 00030 111 While =Pam was up in the tree, a bid red truck pulled up. It was the 00031 111 firefighters! We got a call about a cat in a tree, one firefighter 00032 111 said. But all I see is a funny porcupine, I have the cat, =Pam 00033 111 called down. Good, said the firefighter. But why are you not in 00034 111 school? So =Pam told the firefighter all about that day. She told 00035 111 the firefighter why she was late. =Pam even told him about the 00036 111 school show. The show must go on, said the firefighter. Jump in the 00037 111 truck. We will give you a ride. Soon =Pam was at school. She 00038 111 got there just as the bus did. The show must go on, she called 00039 111 to her teacher! And it is not even late! 00040 111 A little mouse went for a walk with his mother. They went to the 00041 111 top of a hill and looked at the sky. Look, said =Mother. We can 00042 111 see pictures in the clouds. The little mouse and his mother saw many 00043 111 pictures in the clouds. They saw a castle, a rabbit, a mouse. 00044 111 I am going to pick flowers, said =Mother. I will stay here and watch 00045 111 the clouds, said the little mouse. The little mouse saw a big cloud 00046 111 in the sky. it grew bigger and bigger. The cloud became a cat. The 00047 111 cat came nearer and nearer to the little mouse. Help, shouted the 00048 111 little mouse, and he ran to his mother. There is a big cat in the 00049 111 sky, cried the little mouse! I am afraid. =Mother looked up at the 00050 111 sky. Do not be afraid, she said. 00051 111 The main work of the old-time ranch hand was looking after the 00052 111 cattle. Cattle need hay and good water. The old-time ranch hand 00053 111 let the cattle move across the ranch to find these things. Today 00054 111 ranch hands look after cattle. But they don't do it the same way. 00055 111 They let the cattle stay where they are. They carry hay to the 00056 111 cattle in trucks. The old-time cowboy let the cattle run all 00057 111 across the ranch. Today there are many trucks on the roads. The 00058 111 cattle could get hurt. So today ranch hands make their cattle 00059 111 stay behind fences. They must make sure all the fences and roads 00060 111 are in good shape. 00061 111 =Jomo got up and went outside. Again he said, Good people, do you 00062 111 know what I am going to say? This time all the people said, Yes. 00063 111 =Jomo said, You already know. So why should I tell you what you 00064 111 already know? Go home and think about this again. The people went 00065 111 home to think. And =Jomo could rest for one more day. The people 00066 111 came together to talk. They talked about what =Jomo ate day 00067 111 after day. They talked about =Jomo sleeping in their homes each 00068 111 night. So far =Jomo had not told them even one thing. The people 00069 111 thought about what to do. They came up with a new plan. 00070 111 Good day, Mrs =Fly. I am going to get a drink. Why don't you come 00071 111 with me? They walk some more and find =Rabbit, =Horse and =Duck 00072 111 sleeping. Just look at them! They look so nice, sleeping the day 00073 111 away. Why don't you stop and sleep too? I have other things to 00074 111 do. We turtles are slow but sure. I would not be a turtle if I let 00075 111 myself stop. =Turtle and =fly walk to the water. They drink it. 00076 111 The =Rabbit, =Horse and =Duck get up and run to the water. How 00077 111 can this be. How could you get here first? I am a turtle, you know. 00078 111 A very slow turtle. Yes, I am slow. But I am also very sure. Slow 00079 111 but sure, that is the way to be. 00080 111 The next day =Mark came over. Just look at those big red apples, 00081 111 said =Mark. Why don't we eat a few? They do look good, said =Paco. 00082 111 But maybe they will get even better. Maybe it's too soon to pick 00083 111 them. A few more days went by. What are you going to do about 00084 111 the apples, said =Paco's father? Don't you think it's time to 00085 111 pick them? The apples will not be good for a while, said =Paco's 00086 111 mother. They will fall off the tree. Then it will be too late to 00087 111 eat them. =Paco looked at the apples and said again, but maybe 00088 111 it's still too soon. That night =Paco had a dream while he was 00089 111 sleeping. =Paco had a dream about his apple tree. This was =Paco's 00090 111 dream. =Paco was standing under his tree. 00091 111 There are many mountains in the park. The one called =GrandTeton 00092 111 is the tallest. There is snow on its top. There are four lakes in 00093 111 the park too. The water in the lakes is very clean. Many people 00094 111 like to go in the water when the weather is warm. Deer, porcupines 00095 111 rabbits and turtles are just some of the animals that live in the 00096 111 park. These animals roam through the woods. They go down to the 00097 111 lakes to drink. Many ducks fly through the =GrandTetonPark on their 00098 111 way to warmer weather. Some of them stop at the lakes to rest. The 00099 111 animals find enough to eat in the park most of the time. 00000 000 SCOTT FORESMAN BEGINNING READER LEVEL 1 BOOK 1 DY1:SCOT11.TXT 00000 000 TAKING OFF no authors credited in front LEVEL 2A DISK 90; 539 00000 000 1981.

Both elephants walked to the far end of the zoo. 00080 111 The elephant looked into the seal house. Then they looked into the 00081 111 Tiger house. But their friends were not there. Both elephants went 00082 111 into the park. And there they found their friends. The elephants 00083 111 started to take their lunch out. Both the seal and the tiger 00084 111 wanted to help. Thank you but there is not too much work to do, 00085 111 both elephants said. Play and have fun. Soon we will have a nice 00086 111 lunch. The big elephant put the dishes upon the table. The little 00087 111 elephant put the peanuts upon the dishes. Time for lunch, said the 00088 111 little elephant. Come and sit down. The animals sat down to eat. 00089 111 The tiger said, I don't eat peanuts. I eat meat. The seal said, 00090 111 I don't eat peanuts, I eat fish. The elephants did not know what 00091 111 to do. Then the tiger and the seal both said, We want to go home and 00092 111 they ran home. Soon the elephants saw the tiger and the seal. The 00093 111 tiger had some meat.

We got a call about a cat in a tree, one firefighter 00032 111 said. But all I see is a funny porcupine, I have the cat, =Pam 00033 111 called down. Good, said the firefighter. But why are you not in 00034 111 school? So =Pam told the firefighter all about that day. She told 00035 111 the firefighter why she was late. =Pam even told him about the 00036 111 school show. The show must go on, said the firefighter. Jump in the 00037 111 truck. We will give you a ride. Soon =Pam was at school. She 00038 111 got there just as the bus did. The show must go on, she called 00039 111 to her teacher! And it is not even late! 00040 111 A little mouse went for a walk with his mother. They went to the 00041 111 top of a hill and looked at the sky. Look, said =Mother. We can 00042 111 see pictures in the clouds. The little mouse and his mother saw many 00043 111 pictures in the clouds. They saw a castle, a rabbit, a mouse. 00044 111 I am going to pick flowers, said =Mother. I will stay here and watch 00045 111 the clouds, said the little mouse. The little mouse saw a big cloud 00046 111 in the sky. it grew bigger and bigger. The cloud became a cat. The 00047 111 cat came nearer and nearer to the little mouse. Help, shouted the 00048 111 little mouse, and he ran to his mother. There is a big cat in the 00049 111 sky, cried the little mouse! I am afraid. =Mother looked up at the 00050 111 sky. Do not be afraid, she said. 00051 111 The main work of the old-time ranch hand was looking after the 00052 111 cattle. Cattle need hay and good water. The old-time ranch hand 00053 111 let the cattle move across the ranch to find these things. Today 00054 111 ranch hands look after cattle. But they don't do it the same way. 00055 111 They let the cattle stay where they are. They carry hay to the 00056 111 cattle in trucks. The old-time cowboy let the cattle run all 00057 111 across the ranch. Today there are many trucks on the roads. The 00058 111 cattle could get hurt. So today ranch hands make their cattle 00059 111 stay behind fences. They must make sure all the fences and roads 00060 111 are in good shape. 00061 111 =Jomo got up and went outside. Again he said, Good people, do you 00062 111 know what I am going to say? This time all the people said, Yes. 00063 111 =Jomo said, You already know. So why should I tell you what you 00064 111 already know? Go home and think about this again. The people went 00065 111 home to think. And =Jomo could rest for one more day. The people 00066 111 came together to talk. They talked about what =Jomo ate day 00067 111 after day. They talked about =Jomo sleeping in their homes each 00068 111 night. So far =Jomo had not told them even one thing. The people 00069 111 thought about what to do. They came up with a new plan. 00070 111 Good day, Mrs =Fly. I am going to get a drink. Why don't you come 00071 111 with me? They walk some more and find =Rabbit, =Horse and =Duck 00072 111 sleeping. Just look at them! They look so nice, sleeping the day 00073 111 away. Why don't you stop and sleep too? I have other things to 00074 111 do. We turtles are slow but sure. I would not be a turtle if I let 00075 111 myself stop. =Turtle and =fly walk to the water. They drink it. 00076 111 The =Rabbit, =Horse and =Duck get up and run to the water. How 00077 111 can this be. How could you get here first? I am a turtle, you know. 00078 111 A very slow turtle. Yes, I am slow. But I am also very sure. Slow 00079 111 but sure, that is the way to be. 00080 111 The next day =Mark came over. Just look at those big red apples, 00081 111 said =Mark. Why don't we eat a few? They do look good, said =Paco. 00082 111 But maybe they will get even better. Maybe it's too soon to pick 00083 111 them. A few more days went by. What are you going to do about 00084 111 the apples, said =Paco's father? Don't you think it's time to 00085 111 pick them? The apples will not be good for a while, said =Paco's 00086 111 mother. They will fall off the tree. Then it will be too late to 00087 111 eat them. =Paco looked at the apples and said again, but maybe 00088 111 it's still too soon. That night =Paco had a dream while he was 00089 111 sleeping. =Paco had a dream about his apple tree. This was =Paco's 00090 111 dream. =Paco was standing under his tree. 00091 111 There are many mountains in the park. The one called =GrandTeton 00092 111 is the tallest. There is snow on its top. There are four lakes in 00093 111 the park too. The water in the lakes is very clean. Many people 00094 111 like to go in the water when the weather is warm. Deer, porcupines 00095 111 rabbits and turtles are just some of the animals that live in the 00096 111 park. These animals roam through the woods. They go down to the 00097 111 lakes to drink. Many ducks fly through the =GrandTetonPark on their 00098 111 way to warmer weather. Some of them stop at the lakes to rest. The 00099 111 animals find enough to eat in the park most of the time. &&000 SCOTT, FORESMAN (1985) 1ST GRADE SF19851S.ASC LEVEL 4 Source: Kutztown State Pa.
