SEPTEMBER 



THE THISTLE 

 dining room beautiful fragrant dinner 



What is this ? 

 This is the thistle. 



But the bees think that 

 it is their dining room. 



And is it not a beautiful 

 dining room ? 



How fragrant it is ! 

 What does the thistle 

 give the bees for dinner? 



The thistle likes to have 

 the bees visit her. 



They put her flower dust 

 just where she wants it. 



That is why she is so 

 red and so fragrant, 

 She says to the bees : 

 " I am beautiful, that you may see me. 

 " I am fragrant, that you may find me. 

 " Come to me. 

 "I will give you something good to eat."
