bee busy buzz sing work
We fly about from flower to flower。
We sing as we work。
Would you like to know what we sing？
We sing； 〃Buzz； buzz。〃
You will say；
〃What a funny way to sing！〃
But we do not care what you say。
We are too busy to think about it。
You must not keep us from our work。
What is as busy as a bee？
All day it sings as it works；
〃Buzz； buzz； buzz！〃
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour？ It gathers honey all the day
From every bud and flower。

when warm walk these
One morning when the sun was warm these children went out to take a
walk。
Do you know who they are？
I see May and Rose and little Lucy。
There are two other girls with them； but I do not know their names。
They took a little wagon with them； and went up the hill。
They went to the field on the hill to find some violets。
They found some sunflowers in the field； but violets do not grow
there。
They saw a wild rose； but a busy bee was on it。
〃Now；〃 said Lucy； 〃let us go to the well and see if it has water in it。〃
〃Yes；〃 said one of the other girls； 〃the sun is too hot here。 But if we go
to the well； you must take care not to fall in。〃
〃Oh； I will not fall in；〃 said Lucy。
〃I will look at the water far down in the well； but I will not fall。〃
The girls will go home when the sun goes down。

You could see us going to school。
But it is time for me to go in now。

How much do you want for your apples； Frank？
I will sell you the green ones for three cents each。 But I must have
more for these yellow ones。 They are sweet apples。

Then we can see the birds in the trees； and the bees at their work。
