MAY DAY. 



Henry. Today is a holiday and, we have 

 liberty to take a walk, and collect wild 

 flowers, or amuse ourselves in the garden, as 

 we please. 



Margaret. There is such a heavy dew, we 

 cannot go until the grass is dry, so let us go 

 into the garden and see how it flourishes. 



H. Have you noticed the swallows and 

 martins ? 



M. Yes, I saw the martins yesterday, they 

 came to the boxes : the blue birds had taken 

 possession and claimed them. A battle fol- 

 lowed ; the martins were strongest, and drove 

 off the intruders.
