LESSON 56 PETER'S LETTER

PETER'S LETTER

Look-and-Say words

Sound-and-Say words

1. Peter was seven years old.

2. He had been very sick, so Mother took him to the sea-side to help him to get better.

3. While he was there, he sent a letter to his father who was at home.

4. This is what he put in it.

Dear Daddy,

I wish you were here with us. Mother and I have such fun. Every day we go down to the water for a bathe.

I like to watch the little crabs run over the sand.

Rover tries ever so hard to catch them, but they dig holes in the sand and get away from him.

The other day I met a little mate, named Bert. We made paper boats and sailed them in a little pool.

I went fishing with Bert and his father. Bert caught a little fish. It was a perch.

We shall be home soon, as I am very well now.

Mother sends her love and I send mine too.

Your fond son, Peter.
