There the wrinkled old Nokomis 

 Nursed the little Hiawatha, 

 Rocked him in his linden cradle, 

 Bedded soft in moss and rushes, 

 Safely bound with reindeer sinews ; 

 Stilled his fretful wail by saying, 

 "Hush ! the Naked Bear will hear thee ! " 



From "Hiawatha" by Henry W. Longfellow 

 Of whose home is this a description ? 

 Of what was it made ? 



During what seasons would you like such a home ? 

 Tell in what ways your house is better than a wigwam. 

 Of what is your house made ? 



Mention other \\ materials of which houses are made. 

 Tell which you \^|,/ think are best, and why.
