ABRAHAM LINCOLN 



133 



He threshed wheat and chopped wood. 



He carried water, made the fire, and tended 

 the baby. 



When he grew up he split rails for fences. 



He earned his living in many other ways too. 



At last he became President of the United 

 States. 



He did this work just as thoroughly as he had 

 done everything else. 



This is why we all love and respect him.
