THE MOTHER'S PRIMER.
THE WOLF AND THE KID.
A goat, going abroad to feed, shut up her young
kid at home, charging him to open the door to
nobody, till she should return. The wolf, who
was lurking near, heard all that passed, and soon
after came and knocked gently at the door, coun¬
terfeiting the voice of the goat, and desiring to
be admitted. The kid, looking out at a window,
and discovering the cheat, told him to go about
his business, for although he imitated a goat’s
voice very well, yet he appeared too much like a
wolf to be trusted.
THE APPLICATION.
Many misfortunes are occasioned by carelessness.—
Children should pay implicit obedience to the advice
of their parents, and those who have charge of them.
