WINTER TIMES.

The coolest part OF the year
Is the best time for me.
When snow is falling fast.
When people can go stating on ice.
Children like to throw snowbails
At each dther along the road,
They think 1t fun
When they can play in snow.
The smallest children like to build
Snow-mcn
AS they play In the snow.
The best like Is to 20
A-skating on the Ice.
The snow comes so fast
1t looks SO pretty as IL falls.
Children can go skating on ice
AS along to school they go.
But just as soon as summer comes.
No more fun III the snow.
The best part Of all the year
Is the good old winter time.

ETH; sun"


When all the world is hot. so hot.
And not one passing breeze blows
You could. almost in fancy picture
The sun smiling in triumph. from
the Sky.
For the sun is vain old fellow
And is very, very lazy. too,
And sending his rays when we less
need them
Is everything ne loves In do.
How very jolly and round he looks
AS me tours the world every day
And he smiles a smile OF JOY thereof.
AS he goes along his way.
Rut without his CHEEKY presence.
oh. tell me, what would we do?
The whole world would look cold and
chccrlcSs.
And all the flowers would die. too.
liut thankful We are to the sun.
For who else hut he could melt the
snow
And warm our hearts and bodies. too.
And make us grow-and grow?
And when we are troubled at heart.
And think life not worth while
Just glance at the suns kind face.
And look. and gaze-and smile!
