34 OCTOBER 



What a beautiful house. 



It is as soft as velvet inside. 



But the children are tired of their lovely 

 home. 



They want to go out into the world. 



When Jack Frost opens the door, 



They will go out with Shepherd Wind. 



What a life he will lead them ! 



But their shiny coats will keep them dry. 



And so they will enjoy the frolic. 



But at last they will be tired out. 



Then they will go to sleep till spring comes 

 to waken them. 



THE WIND AND THE SUN 



" I blow," said the wind. 



" Then I bow," said the tree, 

 " And I fly," said the cloud, 



" Then I frown," said the sea. 



"I shine," said the sun. 



" Then I bloom," said the tree- 

 "And I float," said the cloud, 



" Then I smile," said the sea.
