Ned Nott was shot
and Sam Shott was not .
So it is better to be Shott
than Nott .
Some say Nott
was not shot.
But Shott says
he shot Nott
Either the shot Shott shot at Nott
was not shot
or
Nott was shot ,
if the shot Shott shot
shot Shott ,
then Shott was shot ,
not Nott.
However ,
the shot Shott shot shot not Shott –
but Nott.

Twenty Froggies
Twenty froggies went to school
Down beside a little pool
Twenty little coats of green
Twenty shirts all white and clean
“ We must be in time,”said they
“First we study then we play
That is how we keep the rule
When the froggies go to school”
Twenty froggies grew up fast
Big frogs they become at last
Not one lesson they forgot
And they learned at school a lot

Work while you work
Play while you play
That is the way
To be happy and gay

Things done by halves
Are never done right

And that’s done well
Is a very good rule
As many can tell

Oh, let us have some pie!”

Thirty days has September,

Excepting leap-year, that’s the time ,
When February’s days are twenty-nine

Leap year comes once in four
And gives February one day more.)

A Question
by E. Segal
Some people live in the country
Where the houses are very small,
Some people live in the city
Where the hoses are very tall.
But in the country where the houses are small
The gardens are very big,
And in the city where the houses are tall,
There are no gardens at all.
Where do you live?
Wind and Weather
The South Wind brings wet weather,
The North Wind wet and cold together ,
The West Wind always brings us rain ,
The East Wind blows it back again .
Magic Words
Hearts like doors will open with ease
To very, very little keys ;
And don’t forget that two are these :
“ We thank you, all “ and “ If you please”
A Song from a Game
Blind man, blind man ,
Sure you can’t see?
Turn round three times
And try to catch me.
Turn east, turn west,
Catch as you can ,
Did you think you’d caught me?
Blind , blind man.
A Joke
By R. Stevenson
They walked in the lane together.
The sky was covered with stars ,
They reached the gate in silence ,
He lifted down the bars
She neither smiled nor thanked him
Because she knew not know how;
For he was just the farmer’s boy
And she – the farmer’s cow.
Different Languages
By E. Segal
I met a little girl
Who came from another land.
I couldn’t speak her language,
But I took her by the hand .
We danced together ,
Had such a fun!
Dancing is a language
You can speak with anyone.
The Parts of the Speech
A noun is a name of anything
As school, garden, boy or thing.
Adjectives tell the kind of noun ,
As great, small, pretty, white or brown .
Instead of nouns , the pronouns stand ,
As he, she, us, your arm , my hand
Verbs tell us something being done :
To read , write , laugh, carry, run.
How things are done the adverbs tell,
As slowly, quickly , badly, well
Conjunctions join the words together
As men and women , wind and weather .
The Preposition stands before
un , as by or though the door
The interjection shows surprise ,
As Oh! How pretty! Ah! How wise!
Three little words you often see
Are articles a, an and the
The whole are called the Parts of Speech
Which reading , writing, speaking teach
