"Here," said Frank, "is the wood. You know we drove through it this
afternoon. The woods are on both sides of the creek." "See the crooked line he makes for the creek," said Donald. "That is where the violets and buttercups grow, uncle," said Susie, pointing to the map. "Where does the creek come from?" asked Uncle Robert. "There's a pond away back in the woods," said Donald. "It comes from that; but it is a swamp part of the year." "The cat-tails grow there," said Susie. "Well," said Uncle Robert, "the house, the cornfield, and the woods--is that all of the farm?" "Oh, no!" said Frank. "It is low along the river, but back of the cornfield it gets higher, and that's where the grapes are. On this side of the road is the orchard; and here, between the orchard and the woods, come in the yard and garden." "Don't leave out the barnyard," said Donald. "What's back of the barn?" asked Uncle Robert. "The field of timothy; and next to it is the clover field. That is as far as the farm goes that way." |
