Tom lives in a red brick house. Once there was a little black boy. He
sang six songs for the king. Pick up your toys. Fix the fence near
the church. It gives such joy to hear you sing. Do not mix sand and
bran. Where were your mitts? It is wrong to whack your horse so. I
see six stacks of hay. Can Jack write? Give me the ink. I have none.

See the fish splash in the water. The dish fell with a crash. How
much cash have you? Do you wish a little more hash? Snap the new whip
lash. My horse ran like a flash. It is wrong to thrash your pony so.
The jack-knife cut a gash in my finger. Write two more words. Where
is your new knife?

Pork is the flesh of hogs. We thresh rye and peas. Hear the sweet
song of the thrush. Is there much slush on the road? See the blood
gush from his nose. See Mary blush! Stop, you may crush the worm.
Brush the plush sofa. Frogs live in fresh water. Do not flog your
pony. See Dick write.

Give the horses less grass. There is a brass lock. Jack got six black
bass. Pack the moss in a glass box. Do not muss your new dress. You
may kiss baby once. Floss has much gloss. Is Miss Bess very cross?
Toss the sack across your back. Less fuss in class! Is there much
glass in that door?

Two blue birds had a nest there last year. Brush your best coat and
vest. Lock fast the chest. John said that in jest. Mice are a great
pest. The church is west from your house. I got two mice in a trap.
Run fast, it is half-past six. He said you were at church. My new
coat is blue. One is the half of two.

Copy,--Is it they? That was I. Is it she?
A gust of wind makes much dust fly. Copy a list of your best books.
That apple pie has a thick crust. Mamma, see the frost on the grass.
Twist a string about your wrist. I must have just one more apple.
Papa trusts me with our pony. How much did your coat cost? They lost
two little dogs near the church.
