Dog I have a little dog, She is a Scottie dog Her name is Chips, And does such funny tricks, She turns over and over, And all day long And she flips and flips. In the window she sits, I sometimes wish she’d settle down, Waiting and wishing I’d come home, And stop acting like a clown. And never again to school to roam. Gloria Frank Arithmetic Arithmetic is a lot of fun, Especially measures, When your work is done. But often I get in a terrible fix; My mind whirls around, And I look for the tricks. So I sit and study and pout, Write down figures, Then rub out. I wonder when I will be through, Then suddenly Hurray! There’s no more to do. Marilyn Loeb The Old Barn at Nancy’s, Bebruarye2 6,1 93.7. Dear Nancy, I am very lonesome. Please come home. My little white tail is now black, and my ears are gray instead of pink. Please come home and wash them. I never have the right food since you went away, and my dish is never clean. They never feed me cabbage or carrots. Please come home. I had better stop now, or I might cry. Your loving Rabbit, Pinkey. Frances Blair. A Spring Day The lake doth glitter, The children are dancing The small birds twitter, Horses are prancing, And they seem to say And all the world is gay. “It is Spring today.” The reason why—l’ll tell you now, It is Spring today.

| | } | | The Bluebird I am always on the wing As I fly, I like to sing. Many a beautiful sight [ve seen, Up above the tree-tops green. When spring comes I choose my mate, And together we go to meet our fate; Thick and thin and thin and thick, Together we will always stick. So we build our cozy nest Of sticks and string and all things best, Then come the babies soft and small, Happy and healthy, dear ones all. Zoe Ann Macaulay The Brave Puppy One fine autumn morning when a nice breeze was blowing, the three Smith children decided to spend the day out in Jimmy’s motor boat. Jimmy had just gotten it and was anxious to try it out. The children were soon ready to go, Jimmy, Dickie and Alice, and their new police puppy, Sport. “Now, children,” said Mr. Smith, ‘“‘be sure to get home early, and come right home if it starts to storm.” “We will,’ promised the three children and set off in their boat. 2 It was about noon when Dickie said, “I think we’d better land on South Island and eat lunch ’cause we have to get home early.” “All right,” agreed Jimmy, and he steered to the island. After their lunch was eaten and they had packed their basket, they lay down to rest. Scon after they were all asleep, when Alice felt a drop of water on her nose. She woke with a start and called, ‘““Boys, wake up, it’s starting to rain.” The boys jumped up and got the boat ready, and they all piled in. Half way home the motor went wrong, and the wind started to blow with such force that the boat rocked and swayed. Then the wind blew them the other way until they found themselves at the point of being cast on the other side of the island. When the boat was in shallow water, the two boys got out and pulled the boat up on shore. “How’'ll we get home?” asked Alice. “We aren’t good swimmers.’ “Let’s try sending Sport home,” replied Jimmy. “T’ll tie a note to his collar and he’ll take it to Dad. Then Dad will come and get us.” He took Sport in his arms and tied the note to his collar. “Go home,” he said, and put him in the water. The puppy set out, paddling with all his might, and was soon lost to view. In half an hour, the three saw a boat coming toward them. In it was their father, mother, and the puppy, very wet and very proud that he helped save them and earned a place in the family. Sally Miller Twelve
