OUR PRETTY DRAGON FLIES


Come, children; come with me.

Come to a pond I know of.

See how the water shines in the sun.

Over there is an old log lying on the edge of the pond.

It is covered with green moss, and a green frog is sitting on one end of
it.

Let us go and sit on the other end.

Goop! he says, and--plump! he has jumped into the water.

That is too bad, frog; we did not mean to disturb you.
