or we shall not get it. A fox will not stay long after the sun is up.

8. Here is the gun. I got it ready last night. You may take it and shoot the fox-if you can!

9. Now let us be off-one, two, three, off!

10. And away went Charles and Henry, as fast as they could

run.

11. The boys had a nice run in the early morning, but they did not kill the fox; they were a little too late.

12. If they had gone as soon as Charles was up, I think they would have killed one.

13. But as Henry was not ready then, they were in time only to see the fox run out of the field, just as they were going in, as you see him in the picture.

14. Do you not think Henry wished he had got up when Charles did?

3. This cow is in the lot near the water. She has been drinking.

4. Did you ever see a cow? Can a cow talk? Can a cow walk? Can a cow jump?

5. How much can you tell me about a cow? Now, begin. 6. A cow has four legs, and two horns, and a long slim tail.

7. A cow has four legs, has she? Can you count four? 8. One, two, three, four.

9. Now, you may go on and tell me more about a cow.

10. A cow gives milk. Milk is white, and I like it to drink. 11. A cow has hair all over her body. When the hair is black we say the cow is black.

12. When the hair is red we say she is a red cow. The hair gives the color to the cow.

13. The hair is the cow's coat, and it keeps her warm in the winter.

14. In the summer the hair keeps the flies from biting the

COW.

15. But sometimes the flies do bite her; then she whips them off with her tail.

16. The flesh of the cow is good for food. It is called beef. 17. The skin of the cow is made into leather. Boots and shoes are made of leather.

18. Can you think of any thing else that is made of leather? But you need not tell

me now.

19. You may think about milk, and what it is good for, and tell me at the next lesson.
