8 | Birds' eggs are almost as different from each other as are the birds themselves. The robin lays four or five blue eggs. The dove lays two white eggs. The sparrow lays six or eight speckled eggs.

15 | Joe made up a game which he called "Jac-alack." One person called Jack must climb a tree and hang by his arms from a low bough.

If Jack can see or guess who did it, he may drop down, and the guilty person takes his place. Otherwise he has to ............ there for another turn and sing out, "Alas, alack, another whack."

21 | If I were writing about the rich, I should be inclined to divide them, according to their attitude toward life, into workers and parasites. The motto of the worker is, "I owe the world a life," and the motto of the ................. is, "The ................. owes me a living." |

23 | A whale is not a fish, even though it does live in water.

25 | To pant for recognition, to yearn to impress one's personality upon one's fellow-men, is the essence of ambition.

To reap a success which no one .................. does not satisfy the yearnings of the .................. individual. |
26 | Washington was a very silent man. Of no man in the world's history do we have so few sayings of a personal kind. As for talking about himself, that was something in which he almost never indulged. Yet it would be a great error to interpret his ................. as an indication that he was in any sense cold or unfeeling. |
27 | As a rule, it is more economical to remember things by associating them clearly and vigorously than by going through many repetitions of them.

The latter implies fully as great lack of knowledge of social usage, and, in addition, conduct which is primitive and perchance inelegant. Thus, the ................. youth was the first to enter the car, and his ................. little sister warmly kissed him in the presence of the king.
