WHAT o’clock is it, Henry? It is twelve o’clock. It is noon. Come to the garden then. Now, where is the sun? Turn your face towards him. Look at the sun. That is South. Always when it is twelve o’clock, and you look at the sun, your face is towards the South.
Now turn to your left hand. Look forward. That is East. In the morning, when it is going to be light, you must look just there, and you will see the sun get up. Always in the morning look there for the sun; for the sun rises in the East.
Now turn your back to the sun. Look straight forward. That is North.
Now turn to your left hand. Look forward. That is West. When it is going to be night, look for the sun just there. He is always there when he goes down; for the sun sets in the West.
North, South, East, West.
I MUST not throw upon the fl oor
The crust I cannot eat;
For many a hungry little one
Would think it quite a treat.
’Tis “wilful waste brings woful want,”
And I may live to say,
“Oh, how I wish I had the bread
Which once I threw away!”
