172 MARCH 



All winter long the wind blew and blew upon 

 them. 



But they were like the man. 



They would not take off their cloaks. 



No, not even when the Wind called on the 

 snow and frost to help. 



But now the warm Sun is shining on them. 



And the rain is helping, too. 



They are very glad to take off their warm 

 cloaks. 



SPRING BUDS 



Jack Frost and Northwest Wind will soon 

 leave us. 



Then \Yinter will go, too. 



We shall be glad to see him go. 



For we love Spring. 



But we shall be glad to have winter again, 

 too. 



All winter the ground has been brown and 

 hard. 



Sometimes it has been covered with snow. 



Only the evergreens have been green with 

 leaves.
