"I think they are in the meadow."
"Will you not drive them home? It is time to milk them."
"Yes, father, I will bring them home. I like to drive them.
I will take the dog with me.
[Ill.u.s.tration]
Come, Don. You know how to drive the cows. You may come with me.
There they are by the meadow brook.
See, they are drinking from the brook.
Drive them, Don! Drive them home.
There they go! What a fine thing it is to live on a farm!"

THE BOX OF TOOLS
Frank lives in the city. He has never seen a farm. He has never seen a brook.
He has never heard the robins singing in the tree tops.
A river runs by the city. Sometimes Frank goes down to the river to see the boats and s.h.i.+ps.
Sometimes he plays in the street by his home. The street is not a good place to play.
Frank has many playthings, and he is as happy as any farmer boy. He would not be happy on a farm.
[Ill.u.s.tration]
One day Frank's father gave him a box of tools.
Frank made many things with his tools.
He made a kite and a little wagon.
He made a stand for his mother. He made a cradle for his sister's doll.

SPRING
Winter has gone. Spring has come.
There is no snow on the ground now. The days are warm and bright. The sun is high in the sky.
Soon the ground will be green with gra.s.s. There are wild flowers in the woods now.
All the birds have come back from the South.
The robin is here. He is building a nest in the old tree. Soon there will be some little blue eggs in the nest.
The old owl did not go South. But he is glad that spring has come.

THE FIVE GOATS
Five goats were in a field.
There they found green gra.s.s to eat, and good water to drink. At night the farmer's boy and his little sister came to drive them home.
One night the goats wanted to stay in the field.
The little girl ran after them. But she could not drive them out.
