LESSON 9

THE LITTLE MILK-MAID

1. Look at me, boys and girls. I am a little milk-maid. I am going home with my milk-pail and my stool.

2. I have been milking the cow. You can see her on the grass in the field.

3. The cow knows me. She never moves when I am milking her.

4. Now my pail is quite full of nice sweet milk.

5. Little baby is very fond of milk. When he can speak, I will teach him to say—

Thank you, pretty cow, that made

Nice rich milk to soak my bread,

Every morn and every night,

Fresh and warm, and sweet and white.
