That is, they have read a little, and acquired the power to read a little more. The problem of the First Reader is to stimulate in the children further interest, to increase their list of known words, and their command of the phonic elements, to quicken their pace and strengthen their confidence in their reading, and so enlarge their powers and add to their pleasure. For this, as for the other books of the series, the editors have chosen, from the established children's classics, prose and verse which all are expected to know. Much use is made of stories of the repetitive type. Not only do chil- dren like the repeated form, but they get from it the most pleasing and effective kind of drill, and a stimulating sense of achievement. The poetry, the fables, and the other stories present ideas that are simple and congenial to young minds. New words are introduced very slowly at first, and are systematically repeated. Sure and immediate control of words is the right foundation for reading. In the illustrations the artists have not only helped to interpret the literature, but they have satisfied the sense of beauty and the sense of humor. Except for the word list at the end of the book, all " teaching apparatus," helps and suggestions for the teacher, are excluded. These are given in the Manual written to accompany the text.

It grew and grew until it was time to pull the turnip out. 18 The old man went into the garden, and gave the turnip a pull But it would not come. He gave it another pull, a great big pull. But the turnip would not come out of the ground. Then the old man called the old woman, and said, "Come and hold on to me, and help me to pull out the turnip." The old woman came. The old man tugged at the turnip. The old woman tugged at the old man. And they pulled and they tugged. And they tugged and they pulled. 19 But the turnip would not come out of the ground. Then the old woman called a little girl. And the old man tugged at the turnip. The old woman tugged at the old man. The little girl tugged at the old woman. And they pulled and they tugged.

She found a new sixpence. She was glad, and she said, "I will buy a pig." So she went out to market, and she bought a pig. But the pig would not go home. He would not get over the stile. So the old woman went to a dog. She said, "Dog, dog, bite pig. Pig will not get over the stile. And I shall not get home to-night." But the dog said, "No, I won't." So the old woman went to a stick. 29 She said, "Stick, stick, beat dog. Dog will not bite pig. Pig will not get over the stile. And I shall not get home to-night." But the stick said, "I won't." So she went to the fire, and said, "Fire, fire, burn stick. Stick will not beat dog. Dog will not bite pig. Pig will not get over the stile. And I shall not get home to-night." "I will not" said the fire. So the old woman went on. She went to some water. She said, 30 "Water, water, put out fire. Fire will not burn stick. Stick will not beat dog. Dog will not bite pig. Pig will not get over the stile. And I shall not get home to-night." "I will not do it/' said the water. So the little old woman walked on. 31 m^'F She saw an ox, and she said, a Ox, ox, drink water.

Fire will not burn stick. Stick will not beat dog. Dog will not bite pig. Pig will not get over the stile. And I shall not get home to-night." But the butcher said, " I will not do it."

Fire will not burn stick. Stick will not beat dog. Dog will not bite pig. Pig will not get over the stile. And I shall not get home to-night." "No, I will not," said the rope.

Her little boy was looking on. She made a Gingerbread Boy for him- She put sugar on the head for hair.. She put in two raisins for eyes. Then she went out to call the old man to his dinner. 53 She said to her little boy, "Stay here and watch the oven. See that the cookies do not burn. And watch the Gingerbread Boy. We do not know what he may do.' 7 Well, the boy watched the oven for a time ; but, by and by, he went out to get a drink of water. As soon as he was out of the door, the Gingerbread Boy hopped out of the pan, jumped out of the oven, and was down on the floor. The boy heard him and ran back as fast as he could. He tried to shut the door. But he was not in time. 54 In a minute the Gingerbread Boy was through the door and out in the yard. He ran through the yard. He ran out into the road ; and he kept running as fast as he could go. The boy ran after him. 55 He called to his mother. The old woman saw what had happened, and she ran too. The old man saw them, and he ran as fast as he could. But they could not run fast enough. They could not catch the Gingerbread Boy. So they walked back home. The Gingerbread Boy ran on and on. He felt happy, and he liked to run. He was pleased with himself. By and by he came to two farmers. "Wait a minute," they cried. "You look good enough to eat. Come here, and we will eat you." But the Gingerbread Boy did not stop. He ran on and called out: 56 "Pve outrun a woman, A boy, and a man. I can outrun you, too. I'm sure that I can." Down the road he ran. The farmers ran behind him as fast as they could. But they could not catch him. So they walked back home. 57 The Gingerbread Boy ran on and on. He came to two puppies by the road. First they saw him, and then they smelled him. He smelled good enough to eat. "Wait a minute," they said. "You smell good enough to eat. Wait, so that we can eat you." But the Gingerbread Boy ran on. He called back: "I've outrun two farmers, As fast as they ran, A little old woman, A boy and a man. I can outrun you, too. I'm sure that I can." Down the road ran the Gingerbread Boy. 58 The puppies ran after him. They ran as fast as they could. They ran until their legs were tired. But they could not run fast enough to catch the Gingerbread Boy. So they walked back home. The Gingerbread Boy ran on and on. By and by he came to a fox. The fox was lying close by the road. 59 He did not move. He called to the Gingerbread Boy ; "Good morning. You seem to be in a hurry. Where are you going so fast?" 60 The Gingerbread Boy stopped a minute. He wanted to hear what the fox said. "You are a fine boy," said the fox. "Where are you going so fast?" Then the Gingerbread Boy said : "I've outrun the puppies, And farmers who ran. A little old woman, A boy and a man. I can outrun you, too. I'm sure that I can." "Oh," said the fox, "I see. It's those fine legs of yours. I think I never saw such fine legs. Please come close to me. Don't be in such a hurry." No one had ever been so kind to the Gingerbread Boy before, 61 So he came nearer and nearer. Soon he was close to the fox. Then the fox gave one jump, and one bite with his teeth. That was the end of the Gingerbread Boy.

All hares are timid; but this one was more timid than all the others. She always thought some terrible thing was going to happen. She thought the earth might burn up, or fall to pieces, and she would say, "If the earth were to fall in ; what should I do? 55 66 At last she began to believe that this was going to happen. One day when she was alone she heard a little noise. It was only a heavy nut falling. But she became much frightened. " Now," she said, " the earth is falling in." She was frightened almost to death. She began to run as fast as she could. By and by she met another hare, and said, u The earth is falling in ! " "Where?" said the other hare. " I don't know," she said ; " but the earth is falling in." And off she ran. Then the other hare also became so frightened that he began to run. 67 He told the storv to his brother. That brother told the story to all the family. They told it to other hares. At last all the hares in the forest were frightened and running about. All of them were saying, "The earth is falling in!" Now the bigger animals heard it, and began to be afraid. The sheep told one another. The elephants told one another. The tigers also told one another. They ran about saying, to everyone who passed, "The earth is falling in!" But the lion said, "I don't believe it." He asked the elephant, "How do you know?" The elephant answered, "A tiger told me." He asked the tiger, "How do you know?" The tiger answered, "A sheep told me." He asked the sheep, "How do you know?" The sheep answered, " A hare told me." 69 He asked a hare, "Who told you?" u One of my brothers/' said the hare. "All the family know it." By and by the lion found the little hare that began it all. The lion said, "Why did you say the earth is falling in ? " "I saw it," said the little hare. "Come and show me," said the lion. Now the little hare was afraid to go. But she was more afraid of the lion. So she went. "Here it is," she said. "But I see nothing," said the lion. " yes," he said, " I do see. This big nut made the noise. The earth is not falling in. 70 Now go and tell every other animal." So the little hare went, and called out, "The earth is not falling in!" One by one all the other animals called to one another, "The earth is not falling in." And the little hare was so tired that she lay down and slept for twelve hours.

Tatty Mouse also lived in a house. So they both lived in a house. Titty Mouse went stealing. Tatty Mouse also went stealing. So they both went stealing. 74 Titty Mouse stole an ear of corn. Tatty Mouse stole an ear of corn. So they both stole an ear of corn. Titty Mouse made a pudding. Tatty Mouse made a pudding. So they both made a pudding. Titty Mouse put her pudding on the fire. She upset the pudding and burned herself to death. Then Tatty Mouse sat down and wept. Now there was a little chair near by. And the chair asked, "Tatty, what is the matter? Why do you weep?" "Oh," Tatty answered, "Titty is dead, and so I weep." " Then," said the little chair, " HI hop." So the chair hopped. 75 Now there was a broom in the corner of the room. The broom said, " Little chair, what is the matter? Why do you hop?" . "Oh," said the chair, " Titty is dead, and Tatty weeps, and so I hop." " Then," said the broom, u I'll sweep." So the broom swept. The door saw the broom sweep. So the door asked, "Broom, why do you sweep?" u Oh," answered the broom, "Titty is dead, and Tatty weeps, and the chair hops, and so I sweep." "Then," said the door, "I'll shut." So the door shut. 76 The window heard the door shut. So the window said, "Door, why do you shut?" "Oh," said the door, "Titty is dead, and Tatty weeps, and the chair hops, and the broom sweeps, and so I shut." " Then," said the window, " I'll creak." So the window creaked. 77 Now there was an old bench outside the house. The old bench said, " Window, why do you creak ? " The window said, "Oh, Titty is dead, and Tatty weeps, and the chair hops, and the broom sweeps, and the door shuts, and so I creak." "Then," said the bench, "I'll run around the house." So the old bench ran around the house. Now there was a little robin sitting in a tree near the house. When he saw the bench running around the house, he said, 78 a Bench, why do you run around the house ?" The old bench stopped a minute and said, u Oh, Titty is dead, and Tatty weeps, and the chair hops, and the broom sweeps, and the door shuts, and the window creaks, and so I run around the house." "Then," said the robin, "I'll lose all my feathers." So the robin lost his pretty feathers. The tree saw the robin losing its feathers. So the tree said, "Robin, why do you lose all your pretty feathers?" 79 And the robin said, " Oh, Titty is dead, and Tatty weeps, and the chair hops, and the broom sweeps, and the door shuts, and the window creaks, and the old bench runs around the house, and so I lose all my pretty feathers." "Then," said the tree, u I'll shed my leaves." So the tree shed all its beautiful green leaves. Just then a little girl came by with a pitcher of milk for her supper. 80 And she said, "Tree, why do you shed all your beautiful green leaves ? " The tree said, "Oh, Titty is dead, and Tatty weeps, and the chair hops, and the broom sweeps, and the door shuts, 81 and the window creaks, and the old bench runs around the house, and the little bird loses all its pretty feathers, and so I shed my leaves.' 7 "Then," said the little girl, "HI spill my milk." So she dropped the pitcher, and spilt all her milk. Now there was an old man on a ladder, picking apples from a tree. And he said, "Little girl, why did you spill your milk?" The little girl said, 82 "Oh, Titty is dead, and Tatty weeps, and the chair hops, and the broom sweeps, and the door shuts, and the window creaks, and the old bench runs around the house, and the little bird loses all its pretty feathers, and the tree sheds all its beautiful green leaves, and so I spill my milk." "Then," said the old man, " I'll fall off the ladder and break my neck." So he fell off the ladder and broke his neck.

Said Simple Simon to the pieman, "Indeed I have not any." Simple Simon went a fishing, For to catch a whale; All the water that he had Was in his mother's pail. He went to catch a dicky bird, And thought he could not fail, Because he had a little salt To put upon its tail. 97 The Brave Blackbird Many years ago, Mr. Blackbird and his wife sat on a high tree top. They were swinging up and down, and Mr. Blackbird was singing. Mrs. Blackbird was listening. Down under the tree a man was listening, too. 98 " Look ! " said the man. "That is Blackbird who is singing. The King wants him caged to sing in the palace. I will set a trap for him under the tree." So Mr. Man set a trap for Blackbird. He caught Mrs. Blackbird, but he didn't know the difference. So he carried Mrs. Blackbird off to the palace. There the King put her in a cage and hung it in the parlor. Mr. Blackbird was in a great rage. He found a sword and a drum and ran down the street, crying, "War, war, war!" As he ran he met a cat. 99 u Where are you going ?" asked she. "To fight the King/' cried Blackbird. "He has my wife caged and hung in his parlor, and I am going to find her." "I will go, too," said the cat, " for the King drowned my kitten." "Then jump into my ear," said Blackbird. 100 So the cat jumped into his ear and went to sleep. On ran Mr. Blackbird, crying, "War, war, war!" Soon he met some ants. "Where are you going, Mr. Black- bird ? " cried they. "To fight the King," said Blackbird. "He has my wife caged and hung in his parlor." " Let us go, too," said the ants. "The King had hot water poured into our holes. We will fight him, too." "Jump into my ear," said Blackbird. So in jumped the ants, and on ran Blackbird, crying, " War, war, war ! " 101 Soon he met a rope and a club. "Where are you going, Mr. Black- bird?" called they. u Off to the palace to light the King," cried Blackbird. "He has caged my wife. I am going to set her free. The cat and the ants are going to help me." "Wait for us/ 3 cried the rope and the club. "We will go, too, and help you to fight." " Then hurry and jump into my ear," said Blackbird. In jumped the rope and the club, and on ran Blackbird, crying " War, war, war ! " 102 Near the King's palace was a river, and as Blackbird was crossing, he heard it say, u Where are you going so fast, Mr. Blackbird ? " Blackbird answered: "To the palace to fight the King. He has my wife caged and hung in his parlor. I am going to set her free." "Wait for me," cried the river, "I will go with you." "Then make yourself small and pour into my ear," said Blackbird. The large river made itself into a little stream and poured into Blackbird's ear. Then Blackbird marched to the palace. 103 { Blackbird knocked on the door with a thump, thump, thump. " Who's there ? v called the door-keeper. "It is I, General Blackbird. IVe come to find my wife ! " "Ha, ha/ 7 laughed the door-keeper. "You can't come in." " Then I will fight ! " cried Blackbird ; and he beat his drum loud and long. 104 Just then the King looked out of the window above. "What do yon want?" said the King. "I want my wife/' said Blackbird. " You shan't have her ! " said the King. "Then we will fight/' said Blackbird. Now this made the King angry. He called to his men,. "Take this bad bird and put him in the hen-house. Let the hens peck him to death." So the men locked Blackbird in the hen-house. But when the hens were asleep, Mr. Blackbird sang: "Come out, Pussy, from my ear, There are hens in plenty here. 105 Scratch them, make their feathers fly, Twist their necks until they die," So out came pussy. And then how the feathers flew! She scratched every hen as dead as a stone. In the morning the King said: "Ho, men! Bring in Mr. Dead Black- bird." When the men went to the hen-house, there sat Blackbird singing sweetly. And all about him lay the dead hens. Of course the King was very angry. "Put this fellow with the w T ild horses to-night/ 7 said he. "They will soon kill him." So at night Blackbird was shut in the stable. 106 But when all was still, he whispered: " Come out, Rope, and come out, Stick, Tie the horses, tie them quick; Beat the horses on the head, Beat them till they fall down dead." Then the rope and the club came out. The rope tied the horses, and the club beat them until every horse was killed. Next morning the King felt very grand. He sat high on his throne and said, " Ho, men ! Get me the pieces of Mr. Blackbird." So off ran the men to the stable. But out in the stable Blackbird was singing merrily. And all the wild horses were as dead as stones. 107 :' ■■■ You may guess how angry the King was "All right," said he. "Tie this fellow with the elephants to-night. They will soon finish him." So at night Blackbird was tied with the elephants. 108 But when all was still, he whispered : "Come out from my ear, you Ants, Come and sting the elephants; Sting each trunk, and sting each head, Sting them till they fall down dead." Then the ants came hurrying out. They bit and stung the elephants until every one was dead. In the morning the King said again, a Ho, there, bring in the pieces of Mr. Blackbird." But down in the elephants' house Blackbird was singing away and singing away. And all the elephants were dead. Then the King was wild with rage. " To-night I will have this bad bird in my own room," said he. 109 So they put Blackbird in the King's room, and they thought he would surely die of fear before morning. But in the middle of the night the King heard Blackbird say "Come out, River, from my ear, Flow about the bedroom here; Pour yourself upon the bed, Drown the King till he is dead." At once the river came pour, pour, pouring from Blackbird's ear. It almost filled the room, and the King began to get wet. "Ho, General Blackbird," he called, " take your wife and go home ! r So Blackbird got his wife from the cage in the parlor. no Then he and she and the cat and the ants and the club and the rope and the river all went home. And the King never troubled them any more.

He lived in a small house in Norway. He had a little white goat that lived on the roof of the house. He played with the goat, and gave it grass and leaves to eat. 114 One day the goat jumped from the roof, and ran up the hill behind the house. Eyvind called, "Goatie, Goatie, come down." But the goat only said, " Ba-a-a, ba-a-a ! " and would not come down. Eyvind sat down and cried. When he looked up again, he saw a little girl playing with the goat. "Is this your goat?" called the little girl "Yes," said Eyvind, "he ran away." "Wait a bit," said the little girl, "I'll lead him down to you." She put her arm around the goat's neck, and led him down the hill. 115 "Here he is," she said. " What is your name ? " said Ey vind. "My name is Marit," said the girl. "I live at the big farm over there, I like your goat. Will you give him to me ? M "No, I won't; he is my pet ; " said Ey vind. 116 " If I give you a butter cake, may I have him then ? " said Marit. Now Evvincl had eaten butter cake only once in all his life, and he thought he had never eaten anything so good. "Let me see the cake/' he said. So she handed it to him, and he took a little piece. It was so good that he took a little more, and then a little more. Soon he had eaten it all. " Now the goat is mine/' said Marit. Then Eyvind saw what he had done. He had sold his goat for a cake ! He could not bear to see it go. " Can't you wait a bit ? w he said. 117 " No, the goat is mine," said Marit, and she led it away towards the farm. Eyvind looked as they went off. The goat turned and said "Ba-a-a ? ba-a-a ! " Poor Eyvind felt very sad. He was left alone. He had no pet. His mother came out of the house. 118 She saw him sitting and crying. "What are you crying for?" she said. " Oh, my goat, my goat ! " " Well, where is your goat ? " "He will never come back/' said Eyvind. "Has the fox taken him?" said his mother. "No, I sold him for a butter cake." Then Eyvind told her all about it. "What do you suppose the little goat thinks of you ? " said his mother. "You must learn to think what you are doing." Eyvind could not answer. He only sat and cried. By and by he fell asleep, and dreamed about the goat and the little girl. 119 "Ba-a-a," said a voice in his ear. He opened his eyes and sat up, and there was the goat. He took hold of its two fore feet, and boy and goat danced for joy. Then he saw Marit sitting on the grass. "Oh, you have come too/' he said. " Yes, Father sent the goat back to you. He said I was wrong. I came to tell you I am sorry. I am glad you had the cake. Now we can be good friends, can we not?" "Yes, indeed," said Eyvind. "We can play with our pet together." Adapted from Bjornson's A Happy Boy. 120 Why Cats Wash Their Faces after Eating Once a cat caught a mouse. The poor mouse was badly frightened. He did not know what to do. Then he had a very wise thought. He said, "I suppose you will eat me, Kitty. But you must wash your face first." 121 "Why?" said the cat. "Because," said the mouse, "all nice persons wash before eating." "I suppose that is so," said Kitty. "I should like to be a nice person, and I had better wash my face." So she began to wash her face, and forgot to hold the mouse. Away he ran to his nest. "Good-by, Kitty," he cried. "I am glad that you waited to wash your face." "Next time, I shall eat first and then wash," said Kitty. "I don't care what people think." Ever since then, all cats eat first and then wash their faces. Have you not seen your cat do it? 122 Puss in Boots A poor miller had three sons. When he died he left them all he had. To the oldest he left his mill. To the second he left his donkey. To the youngest he left his cat. " What shall I do ? " said the youngest. "My brothers can get on very well. 123 They have the mill and the donkey. But I have only the cat. I wish I had silver and land." But the cat purred and said, "Do not be sad, master. We shall do very well. Bring me a pair of boots to keep my feet from mud and briars, and get me a bag to carry. Then we'll see what can be done to get silver and land." So he brought some fine large boots for his cat, and a green bag with a red string to it. Then Puss took the bag and some apples, and marched out among the briars. She put a red apple into the bag, and left it open on the ground. 124 Then she lay down and made believe that she was asleep. Soon a young rabbit came to the place. He smelled the apple and looked into the bag. Then he went in to get the apple.. Puss pulled the string and shut the bag. She took the rabbit to the King of the country, and said, "My master is Marquis of Carabas. He sends you this rabbit." The King took the rabbit, and said, "Tell your master I am much pleased." Then Puss went into a field of corn, and sat with the bag open. Soon two young quails ran into it. Puss pulled the string and shut them in. 125 _ ¥ m 9 — fl — fe agM' 1 ■ She took these to the King, and said, u My master, the Marquis of Carabas, sends you these quails." The King said, " Tell your master I am much pleased." Every day for a month or more Puss took the King a present. And the King said every day, 126 " Tell your master I am much pleased to receive this present." One day Puss heard the King say he would go riding by the river. She told her master to go and swim in the river. Soon the King rode by with a company of men. Puss went to meet him along the bank of the river and called, " Help ! Help ! my master will drown." The King sent his men to help. They drew the young man to the bank. "This is the Marquis," said Puss. The King liked the young man. He thanked him for all the presents, and told his men to bring dry clothes for the Marquis. 127 Then the King asked the Marquis to ride in the coach between himself and his daughter. Puss marched on before, in her boots. Soon she saw some men cutting grass. She spoke to them and said, " Tell the King that this land belongs to the rich Marquis of Carabas." So when the King came near and asked, " Whose land is this ? " they answered, "This is part of the land of the Marquis. He is very rich. 5 ' 128 Puss marched on before, in her boots. She came to some men cutting corn. She said to them, u Tell the King that this land belongs to the rich Marquis of Carabas." So when the King came by, he said, "Whose land is this?" They answered, " This is part of the land of the Marquis of Carabas. He is very rich." Puss walked on before, in her boots. Soon she came to a giant's castle. She stepped in. She saw the giant. He was big and terrible. She said, "They say you can change yourself into a lion^ or a mouse, or anything. Is it true ? Can you show me ? " 129 ' : Yes," said the giant, "I can." Then he changed himself into a lion, and roared so loud that he almost broke the windows. Puss was so frightened that she ran clear up on the roof. When she came down and peeped into the room, there sat the giant. 130 "That was wonderful/' said Puss. " They say you can change yourself into little things as small as a rat or a mouse. Is it true ? Can you show me ? " "Yes/ 7 said the giant, "I can." Then he changed himself into a mouse. What do you think Puss did? Zip! She jumped on the mouse, and ate him up, just like that. Then she went out to meet the King, and said, "This, King, is the castle of the rich Marquis of Carabas." The King was pleased with the castle and with the land and with the young marquis. 131 So he gave his daughter to the Marquis of Carabas. The King stayed on a whole week at the giant's castle. And Puss, and the master, and his wife, were happy there ever after.

A raven cried " Croak ! " and they all tumbled down, Bumpety, bumpety, bump ! The mare broke her knees and the farmer his crown, Lumpety, lumpety, lump ! Mary Had a Little Lamb Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow; And everywhere that Mary went, The lamb was sure to go, 134 He followed her to school one day, Which was against the rule; It made the children laugh and play, To see a lamb at school. And so the teacher turned him out, But still he lingered near, And waited patiently about Till Mary did appear. " What makes the lamb love Mary so ? " The eager children cry; " Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know," The teacher did reply. Sarah Josepha Hale. 135 Little Jack Frost Little Jack Frost went up the hill, Watching the stars and moon so still, Watching the stars and moon so bright, And laughing aloud with all his might. Little Jack Frost ran down the hill, . Late in the night, when the winds were still, Late in the fall, when the leaves fell down, Red and yellow and faded brown. Little Jack Frost walked through the trees, " Oh ! " sighed the flowers, " we freeze, we freeze." 136 " Oh ! " sighed the grasses, " we die, we die." Said little Jack Frost, " Good-by, good- by." But when the sun brought back the spring, Brought back the birds to chirp and sing, Melted the snow, and warmed the sky, Then little Jack Frost went weeping by ! The flowers opened their eyes of blue, Green buds peeped out and grasses grew; It was so warm, and burned him so, That little Jack Frost was glad to go. 138 Christmas Bells All the bells on earth shall ring On Christmas Day, On Christmas Day; All the bells on earth shall ring On Christmas Day in the morning.
