She stopped her singSong and leaned
out.

marked. "A man in a gray hat. aud he
comes every day"
Does he:" Her mothers voice was
absentminded, she was so busy. The
sun shone on her bent bronze head and
brought out the golden lights in the lit

The small girl made the rabbit pranCe
back and forth and back and forth.
