This Globe
you see is almost
round, as
the earth on
which you live,
and like the stars that
shine above you every
night.
A Mortar.
This is made of iron, or of wood, or of stone, and is used to pound spice in for puddings.
[4]
Boot and
Shoes for
my father.
When you
grow a gentleman, you
shall have white-top
boots and silk strings in
your shoes.
A Black Hat
which is made
of wool and
fur, and then
worn by men and boys.
We will go to the hatter’s
and buy one.
[5]
Wool Sack
is a large
bag, filled
with wool from the back
of the Sheep that have
already come from the
pasture to be sheared.
This great Tree
stands in the
Common, and
is 65 feet high, 22 feet
girth or circumference,
7 feet through, and 83
feet across the branches
or about 250 feet round,
and covering 7289 sq. ft.
[6]
A Horse is
a fine fellow
to ride on.
Horses are of all colours,
bay and black, grey and
white, and chesnut and
sorrel.
A Barrel of
cider that the
farmer has
brought us
from the country. I
hope the barrel was sweet
and clean before he put
the cider in it.
[7]
Here is the
pretty House
that Daniel’s
father built, and where
he now lives with all his
little boys. It has trees
before it, and the children
are playing in the
parlour.
This Sheep
is one of the
flock, who is
going home because he
has eaten grass enough
to-day.
[8]
Chest of Tea
from the Chinese.
Little
boys and girls
must not have tea, because
milk, which you
can have from this cow
is much better.
This Cow
belongs to the
farmer whose
history I am
now going to tell you,
and who brings milk here
every day.

Story of the Boy who
would be a Soldier.
There was a little boy
who was just four years
old when I knew him,
and he lived in this house,
and when he grew up
he did not wish to be
[10]
a scholar, and learn the
letters, but wanted to
be a Soldier and follow
the drum. Here you
can see one, pretty
enough to look at, but
of a very noisy sound.
Well, this boy would become
a soldier, and he
[11]
was drest in a suit of
fine clothes every day,
and he strutted about,
but if he did any thing
wrong, he was sure to
be whipped. See him
march before the sentry-box,
which I think
is very hard work, because
he must keep going,
whether it rains
hard or shines hot. In
his hand is a heavy gun,
on his back a knapsack,
and on his head a great
cocked hat. Look at
[12]
him, and see besides
the tents or huts in
which a soldier sleeps.
Well, after a little
time he had to go to
a great distance from
home, into another part
of the world, and one
night while he was
[13]
lying under the tent on
his straw bed, he was
very much startled by
hearing this Lion roar,
for he was in that part
of the globe where
lions live, and he was
so frightened that he
said he would not be a
[14]
soldier any longer, but
get to his home again
as fast as he could. So
in the very first ship
that sailed for his own
country he came home.
Here is the ship.
[15]
When he left off his
coloured clothes, and his
gun and belts, he wore
a round hat, and went
to be a farmer, and he
soon bought him a bay
horse, and here he has
him by the bridle. If
you are a good child to-day,
he will put him in
[16]
a chaise and give you a
pleasant ride.
I think it much better for him to be a farmer, and to keeps pigs, and sheep, and cows, and horses, than to be shooting men with his black powder and leaden balls, and I wish him success in his new labour.
