LESSON III.
Miss Rose was a good child, she did at all times
what she was bid. She got all her tasks by heart,
and did her work quite well. One day she had
learnt a long task in her book, and done some nice
work; so her Aunt said. You are a good girl, my
dear, and I will take you with me to see Miss Cox.
So Miss Rose went with her Aunt, and Miss Cox
was quite glad to see her, and took her to her
play room, where they saw a Doll’s house with rooms
in it; there were eight rooms; and there were in
these rooms chairs, and stools, and beds, and plates,
and cups, and spoons, and knives, and forks, and
mugs, and a screen, and I do not know what.
So Miss Rose was glad she had done her work, and
said her task so well; for if she had not she would
have staid at home, and lost the sight of the Doll’s
House.
LESSON IV.
Charles went out to walk in the fields; he saw
a bird, and ran to catch it; and when they said.
Do not take the poor bird; what will you do with
it? He said, I will put it in a cage and keep it. But
they told him he must not; for they were sure he would
not like to be shut up in a cage, and run no more in the
fields,—why then should the poor bird like it? So
Charles let the poor thing fly.
