The Discovery
It often rains in our town. And, you know,It always happens when we've planned to go
On walks or hikes, or somewhere out to play;
It's curious how it seems arranged that way!
We used to use those rainy days to pout,
And stand there at the window looking out
And wishing things about the weather--oh,
I never knew a wish to change it, though!
But now--the gladdest secret! We don't need
Our dad to tell us stories. We can read!
We've found that Fairyland is everywhere--
You open up a book and, why, you're there!
(The end)

Gardening is heaps of fun! We are partners with the sun, For we help him make things grow, With our spade and rake and hoe! First we spade the ground, then rake it; Ready for the seeds we make it; Then in furrows carefully Plant them as they ought to be. Soon above the ground we spy Tiny green things push and pry, Little plants that from their night Wake and climb to find the light. They are thirsty, so we give Water first that they may live;
Gardening Is Heaps Of Fun!

Men talk too much of gold and fame,And not enough about a name;And yet a good name's better farThan all earth's glistening jewels are.Who holds his name above all priceAnd chooses every sacrificeTo keep his earthly record clear,Can face the world without a fear.Who never cheats nor lies for gain,A poor man may, perhaps, remain,Yet, when at night he goes to rest,No little voice within his breastDisturbs his slumber. Conscience clear,He falls asleep with naught to fearAnd when he wakes the world to faceHe is not tainted by disgrace.Who keeps his name without a stainWears no man's brand and no man's
A Good Name
