Papa gives me four cents to buy two pears. He says your eyes are
blue. That idle tramp is not crazy. Write the new words often. Soften
the crust in your tea. Iron my collar again. It was wrong to cut the
table with your jack-knife. Bees are not lazy. How many oranges can
one buy for five cents? Some camels are swift. Jack said he once had
a little black pony. How many eyes have two camels?

Some hens hatch eight eggs. Please sew a patch on my silk skirt. The
Scotch boy uses a crutch. Use an iron latch. That Dutch lady wears a
gold watch. Scratch the match again. Rabbits live in a hutch. Catch
the ball, Helen. Baby may clutch your toys.

Fetch me a strong switch. Please stitch my silk scarf. Stretch your
mouth wide open. Is there such a thing as a witch? I am not afraid of
any. The ditch was half full of dirty water. Can you sketch that herd
of oxen? Who are you? Are you afraid?

Does the robin perch on your porch? Ask for a small pinch of starch.
Write again in French for a torch. Which do you like best, bass or

long. Three and five are eight.

Write on the board with chalk. Baby crept on hands and knees. Next
year she will walk and talk. Aunt Lucy wept when you were hurt. How
many flowers on that stalk? I slept till half-past eight. I kept the
candy uncle sent me. She swept the floor. A gully is a ditch made by
water. Buy some collars.

Iron my cuffs and collars stiff. Uncle uses snuff. Puff out your
cheeks. She lost her fur muff. Papa has a good skiff. See the whiff
of smoke. Stuff paper or soft cloth into the hole. The calf fell from
a high cliff. John makes eight or nine dollars a week.
