IN THE COUNTRY.
Reading edition
Fanny and Willy are having a nice ride on the back of the great cart-horse.
Mamma points at Willy with her sun-shade, and says, "Hold on tight, little boy." Pink, the dog, says, "Bow-wow! Take me up there with you."
Kate and Jane have the care of the biddies. They feed them with corn every day. The hens flock around the door as soon as the two girls come out.
Kate and Jane both say that the hens are fond of them; but I think they are still more fond of the corn.
