鸟儿们在树上睡着了。看看，每只鸟儿都把头藏在翅膀底下。也到了你说过“晚安”、上床睡觉的时候了。但首先还是请你跪下，对上帝祈祷，感谢他所有的爱与关怀。
请他在夜里看顾着你，他会看见你，也会保佑你不受伤害的。“整个黑暗的夜间，上帝都在身边，
我就无所畏惧，一如光明的白天；
他的眷顾，会伴随我入眠，
而我又能有，什么害怕可言？”
15 THE PET BIRD 家养的鸟
JANE had a bird that she kept in a cage.
It was so tame that it would come to be fed from her hand.
Now and then she would let it out；and it would sit on the top of the cage or fy round the room.
As she liked best to feed it, no one else fed the bird but her.
One day her aunt sent her a box of new toys. She was so pleased with them, that she played all day with them.That day Jane did not feed her bird.
Next day a friend came to see Jane, and once more the poor bird got no food.
Jane and her friend played all day with the box of toys.
On the third day Jane did not care so much for the toys, and she went once more to play with her bird.
She went up to the cage with some nice seed to give to it.
But the poor bird lay dead in the cage. It had died for want of food.
Oh, what pain it must have felt！
Boys and girls, keep this sad tale in your minds, and be kind to your pets.中文阅读
珍妮在笼子里养了一只鸟。
小鸟好温顺啊，都能从珍妮手上啄东西吃。
珍妮时不时会把小鸟放出来，小鸟就会坐在笼子顶上，要么就会在房间里一圈圈地飞。
珍妮最喜欢喂小鸟了，只能她自己喂，别人都不能喂。
有一天，姑姑送给珍妮一盒新玩具。珍妮喜欢极了，玩玩具玩了一整天，那一天珍妮就没有喂鸟。
第二天，有个朋友来找珍妮玩，可怜的小鸟又没吃到东西。
珍妮跟朋友又把玩具玩了一整天。
第三天，珍妮不那么喜欢玩具了，又去跟朋友玩了。
珍妮来到笼子跟前，拿着点儿好吃的谷粒，要喂给鸟儿。
但可怜的鸟儿已经死了，一动不动躺在笼子里面。它是饿死的。
唉，鸟儿肯定痛苦极了！
孩子们，记住这个悲伤的故事吧。一定要好好照顾你的宠物！
16 A WEEK AT THE FARM 农场一周
JANE has been for a week at the farm where her aunt lives. Now she has come back；and she has much to tell of what she saw.
Each day she went to see the maid milk the cows；and the maid gave her a drink of the nice warm milk.
She saw the ducks swim in the pond；and she used to throw in bits of bread to them.
It was a fne sight for Jane, to see how fast they would swim to get the bread.
Each day, too, Jane went with her aunt, and helped her to feed the hens.
The hens had no fear. They came close up to her, and picked up the crumbs as fast as she let them fall on the ground.
She went to the grass park, too, and there she saw the sheep and the snow-white lambs as they played on the soft, green grass.
It was the frst time Jane had been at the farm. Next time she goes, Tom and Fred are to go with her.中文阅读
珍妮已经在姑姑的农场，住了一个星期了。如今，小姑娘回来了，她见到了好多事，要跟我们说呢。
每天，珍妮都去看女仆给牛挤奶，女仆也会请她喝美味的热牛奶。
珍妮看见一群鸭子在池塘里游泳，还给鸭子们扔过面包屑。
珍妮看鸭子们都拼命游着，去吃面包屑，别提多高兴了。
珍妮还会每天跟姑姑出去，帮姑姑喂母鸡。
母鸡一点儿也不怕珍妮，走到离珍妮很近的地方。珍妮一把面包屑撒到地上，母鸡就会啄起来吃。
珍妮还会到草场上去，看着绵羊跟雪白的小羊羔，在柔软的青草上嬉戏。
这是珍妮第一次到农场去。下次她再去的时候，汤姆和弗雷德也会跟她一块儿去。
17 THE OWL 猫头鹰
THE owl is called the"bird of night.”
The light of day is too strong and too bright for his eyes.
So he sits all day long hid in a tree, or in a hole of a wall, out of sight.
As soon as it is night he comes out, and flies round and round, in search of mice, or small birds.
When he flies, his wings do not make a noise. So the mice and birds do not hear him till he is quite near.
The birds know him well, and are in great fear of him.
When they fnd him out by day, they come and peck at him with all their might.
He is then half blind, and he does not see how to fght with them. Look how they peck at him！
Poor owl！fy back to your hole as fast as you can.中文阅读
猫头鹰也叫“夜猫子”。
白天的光线太强，太亮，它的眼睛受不了。
所以它就整天躲在树上，或者墙洞里，不让别人看见。
天一黑，猫头鹰就会出来，飞来飞去，寻找老鼠和小鸟。
猫头鹰飞翔的时候，翅膀一点儿声音也没有，所以直到猫头鹰到了身边，老鼠和小鸟才能听见。
小鸟们都很熟悉猫头鹰，也很怕猫头鹰。
小鸟在白天只要一见猫头鹰，就会过来使劲啄它。
猫头鹰在白天跟瞎子差不多，也就不知道怎么跟小鸟搏斗。瞧，小鸟们啄它啄得多厉害！
可怜的猫头鹰，拼命逃回洞里去吧。

When Ann had no work to do in the house, she would go out and play with the goat.
The goat liked to play with Ann. It would go to her when it would go to no one else.

19 THE STORM 风暴
THERE has been a wild storm, and the good ship is a wreck.
Do you see how the men cling to the mast of the ship?
The life-boat has been sent out to save them；and some of them are in it. They try to reach the shore.Row, men；row for your lives！
See, the boat seems to sink in the waves！Down, down it goes. Oh, the poor men！
But see, there it is once more！It is on the top of a wave. Now it comes near the shore.Pull, men, pull！
Here it comes！The boat is on the shore, and the men are safe！
The boat goes out once more to the wreck. And at last all the poor men are saved.
Kneel down, men, and thank God, who has saved you in the storm.中文阅读

你看，人们正紧紧抱住船上的桅杆！

瞧，救生艇好像沉到了海浪当中，一直在往下沉！可怜的人啊！
可是救生艇又出现了，冲到了浪尖上！现在离岸已经很近了！使劲划，大家使劲划！
来了！小艇到了岸上，人们脱险了！
小艇又一次驶向遇难的大船，最后，所有的落难水手都得救了。
大家跪下来感谢上帝吧，是他从风暴中拯救了你们！

When Ben and May were just four years old, Ben thought that he would soon be a big boy, ft for school. He loved to talk, and he loved to boast, and so Ben said things which no wise boy would have said.
"I can jump—I can jump a great way！”cried Ben."Now that I am four years old I can jump down four steps at a time, and not hold at all by the top of the rail！”
"Oh no, dear Ben，”said May；"we must not try such a great jump as that. We must wait till we are tall and strong.”For May was too wise
