56 GOOD HEALTH 



All three children are healthy, and are growing fast; 

 they are good students and they are full of fun too. 

 They think that sleeping is like putting money in the 

 bank of health. I think so too. 



I shall now give you three rules. 



1. Sleep all you can. This will make you 

 brighter and bigger. 



2. Go to bed and get up at regular hours. 

 This will help you to get sleep enough. 



3. Unless you are ill do not lie in bed many 

 minutes after you wake in the morning.
