LESSON XL.--REVIEW.

Henry Black and Ned Bell live near our house. They go to school, and I see
them go by each day with their books and slates.

Miss May tells the girls and boys that they should be at the schoolhouse
when the bell rings. So Henry walks fast, and is first at school. He is a
good boy, and wants to keep the rule of the school.

Ned is not a good boy. I do not think he likes to go to school or to
church.

I saw him try to kill a quail with a stone. The quail is too quick a bird
for that, and Ned did not hurt it; but I know that a good child would not
try to kill a bird.

[Illustration: Script Exercise:
There is a baby at Ned's house. Her name is Kate. Ned is not a good boy,
but he loves Kate, and I do not think he would hurt her.
