A PRESENT

Today is June 4. It is Betty's birthday. She comes home and sees a card on the table. It says: "There's a present for you, Betty. Go and look for  it in your room."
Betty runs to her room. Her parents are watching her. They are smiling.
On her bed she sees a new red box. She thinks: "What's in the box?" She opens it. There is nothing but a card in it! Betty takes it out and reads:
"Dear Betty, I'm your present. My first letter is in the word 'book', but not in 'look'. My second letter is in 'ink', but not in 'thank'. You can find my third letter in both 'ink' and 'book'. and my last letter is in 'sheep', but not in 'ship'. What am I?"
Betty thinks hard. B-I-K-E. She smiles and says to her mother: "Aha, I know. But where is it, Mum?" Her mother says: "Look at the back of the card." Betty turns it over and reads: "Come and look for me in the garden."
Betty hurries to the garden. There under a big tree she finds her present --- a nice new bike!
"Happy birthday, Betty!" her parents say.
"Thank you, Mum and Dad!"

THE SEASONS

There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Spring is the best season of the year. The weather gets warmer, and the days get longer. The crops begin to grow. The trees turn green and flowers come out.
Summer comes after spring. It is the warmest season. It often rains and the crops grow fast. The best sport in summer is swimming. Children often go swimming in rivers and lakes.
Autumn is a busy season. The days get shorter and the nights longer. It is harvest-time. The peasants are busy. They are getting in the crops.
Winter is the coldest season of the year. Sometimes it snows and the fields are all white. Skating is the best sport in winter. Many boys and girls often go skating. But the peasants are still busy. They are getting ready for the next year.

(Soon he is asleep.)

I try to do my best each day,

And if I always do my best,

I needn't worry about a test.

2. The Crow and the Fox

A crow is sitting in a big tree. She has a big piece of meat in her mouth. "My babies will have a nice breakfast," she thinks.
An old fox is looking for his breakfast. He sees the crow and the meat. "How can I get that piece of meat?" he thinks.
"Goood morning, Mrs Crow," says the fox sweetly. "How are you?"
But the crow doesn't say a word.
"You have very nice babies, Mrs Crow," says the fox very sweetly. "How are they? May I see them?"
Still, the crow doesn't say a word.
"You're very beautiful, Mrs Crow. and you have a beautiful voice, too," says the fox very, very sweetly. "Will you please sing a song for me?"
Mrs Crow thinks, "How nice Mr Fox is! I must sing him a song." So she opens her mouth, "Caw! Caw!" Down drops the meat into the fox's mouth.
