learned to milk, and quite got over their fear of cows. Altogether
they had such a delightful time that they hope they may go again next
year.

When the letter came to say the ship had arrived bringing back their
father and mother they were of course delighted, but they were quite
sorry to have to say good-bye to all their farm friends, animals as
well as people.

So the children went back to their city home, and when their father
and mother heard all their accounts of the good time they had had, and
saw their tanned and rosy cheeks, they said: "O, you must go again
next year."

The Worst Pupil


When Betty kept a school one day,
Her sister was so good;
The dollies every one behaved
As well-taught dollies should;

But Tom was such a noisy boy
