THE FLY. [_Page 99._


1. The fly is a wonderful little insect. It has six legs, with such
curious feet that it can walk on the window-panes or the ceiling.

2. It has a funny little round head. Its eyes stand out so that it can
see round about it. It cannot move its eyes as we do. Neither can it
bite its food--it sucks it.

3. The fly teases us in summer. It gets into our sugar, milk, treacle,
and honey. Then it makes marks upon our windows and other things.

4. Its wings are very pretty. When they get wet it cannot fly. The noise
flies make is called buzzing.
