A LETTER TO FRANK.

[Illustration]

DEAR FRANK,—One day a rabbit came out of the woods to see if he could

find any clover. Some boys saw him, and tried to catch him. He ran

under the barn; then came out, sprang through the fence, and so got

clear.

I will tell you of a smart thing that my red cow does. When she goes

for a drink and finds the trough empty, she takes hold of the handle

with her horns, and pumps the water.

While I was waiting for a train at the station, the other day, a boy

with a little dog came in to wait also. The poor dog was afraid, and

tried very hard to get away; but the boy held him fast by a stout

string.

There is one very selfish little chicken in my barn. When the other

chickens are just going to sleep, this selfish little chick pecks them,

and drives them down from the roost. He is very naughty, and wants the

roost all to himself.
