LESSON 73 JACK'S TOYS

JACK'S TOYS

1. Jack had many toys. His father made him a large toy-box and he kept his toys in it.

2. One night, Jack went to his toy-box and took out his train, his set of tools and his motor car.

3. He played with them till bed-time.

Then he ran off to bed leaving them on the floor.

He soon went to sleep.

4. "When is Jack coming to put us to bed?" asked the train. "We cannot rest here."

5. They grew tired of waiting for him to come, so the train began to puff.

Puff-puff! Puff-puff! it kept on saying.

6. "Toot-toot!" called the horn of the car.

7. What a noise the set of tools made!

Tap, tap! Bang, bang! went the hammer.

8. Little Jack sat up in his bed.

What is that? he said.

9. He thought he heard his train puffing and then he knew that he had not put his toys away.

10. He jumped out of bed and packed them safely in the toy-box.

11. When Jack went back to bed, the room was so quiet, that even the toys must have fallen asleep.
