Lesson 71 



SVEND SVENDSEN 



FAR to the north, and on the other side of the 

 sea, is a beautiful country called Norway. 

 The mountains there are high. In the green val- 

 leys between the mountains are great forests of 

 birch, and pine, and fir trees. In this far country 

 there are also many lakes of sparkling water as blue 

 as the sky above them. 



Not many years ago a little boy whose name 

 was Svend Svendsen lived in this land of Norway. 

 This boy always played out of doors, and his eyes 

 were quick to see the beautiful things about him.
