Look-and-Say words

Sound-and-Say words

1. Tom had been ill, so Mother took him for a visit to a farm.

2. It was late when they got to the farm. Tom was glad to go to bed and rest.

3. "Hoo, hoo, ha, ha!" was the cry which woke him the next day.

4. Tom sat up in bed. Mother smiled. "That is Jack," she said. "He is say-ing,? 'It is time to get up.'"

5. "Oh!" said Tom, "then I shall get up at once," and he jumped out of bed.

6. Just then, Old Jack came to a tree near by. He saw a big fat grub and soon had it in his beak.

7. "That will be a treat for the wee ones," said Mother.

8. "Look," said Tom, "off he goes with it to the old gum-tree."

9. "Hoo, hoo, ha, ha, ha!" cried Jack, as he sat up in the gum-tree.

10. "I am glad I am at the farm," said Tom. "I like to hear Old Jack."
