"John! come here. Be quick, and tell me what kind of bird this is."

"Do you not know, Henry?"

"Oh, no! what is it?" "It is a quail."

"It is the first quail I have seen. Is it good to eat?"

"Yes; but I should not like to kill it."



LESSON XXXIX.

Kate dear name blue baby near shut crib sit

[Illustration: Baby sleeping in crib.]

Is not this a dear baby in the crib?

Her name is Kate, and she has big, blue eyes. You can not see her eyes,
for they are shut.

Kate is a good baby; but she will cry if she is hurt, or if she is not
well.

Bess likes to sit near the baby, and to rock her in the crib.
