1.James and George went down to the harbour one day to see the boats come in from the herring-fishing.
2.Their father was a fisherman.He had beenaway for some weeks at the fishing，but was to be back that day.
3.The harbour had a broad stone wall all round to keep out the waves.There was one openingfor the boats to get in and out.Whenever they were inside they were safe from the wind and the waves.
4.James and George found a crowd of boys standing on the harbour wall.They were all looking away out to sea.Every one of them wished to be the first to spy the fishing-boats.
5.Soon they saw the brown sails far，far away.
Nearer and nearer they came，sailing straight towards the harbour.
6.At last George cried out，“There she is！there is the white patch on her sail.That is our boat.”
7.How happy the boys were when their father clasped them in his arms，and took them on board his boat to see the shining fish！
8.“I saw a ship a-sailing，A-sailing on the sea；And，oh！it was all ladenWith pretty things for thee：
9.”There were comfits in the cabin，And apples in the hold；The sails were made of silk，And the masts were made of gold.
10.“The four-and-twenty sailors That stood between the decks，Were four-and-twenty white mice，With chains about their necks.”
11.“The captain was a duck，With a packet on his back；And when the ship began to move，The captain said，‘Quack，quack！’.
1.This is a picture of Flo and her white rabbit.Her brother gave it to her whenit was quite young.
2.It is very tame.It lets Flo take it in her lap and feed it with cabbage leavesand other things.
peeping over her shoulder at the green leaves she holds in her hands！
3.Pet rabbits are not all white.Some have black or gray coats.Wild rabbits are brown above and gray below.
4.What long ears the rabbit has！It must hear very well with such long ears！Stroke them.How soft they are！
5.Did you know that wild rabbits live under the ground？Yes；many of them live together ina big house with a great many holes.When an enemy comes in by one hole，the timid rabbits run away out by another.
6.The holes are very small.When a rabbit runs into its house，it has to lay its long ears flat down upon its head，or it cannot get in at all.
7.Rabbits stay in their houses most of the day.In the evening and early morning，when all is quiet，they come out and nibble the grass.It is pretty to watch the young ones playing together and tumbling over each other.
8.If they hear the least noise，they scamper off to their holes.You can see their little white tails bob up and down as they jump through the grass.
9.Rabbits cannot run and walk like cats and dogs，for their front legs are shorter than their hind ones.They can only jump.
