Please, uncle, buy me a pair of rabbits. Which is your knife? Does
John write quickly? Watch the robin fetch four worms. Aunt Helen is
happy. Next week I shall be eight. Please catch the calf. He crept on
his knees to the high table. He said much in praise of flowers. Put
chalk on the board.

Some bees stung a great lion. Papa swung me high on the gate. They
dwelt near a swamp. John hung his belt in the front hall. He knelt
to lace his shoe. He slung his skates upon the shelf. Can you melt
silver? Have you strung the glass balls on that string? Ring the bell
at the front door, please.

Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn. A sharp thorn stuck in my
wrist. Is he blind in both eyes? The grist mill grinds corn and oats.
Is he fond of melon rind? Were you born in Canada? Wind a cord about
your waist. Mind what papa says. Can you find my copy book? The waist
of my new dress is black. Canada gets much praise for her apples.

Lucy buys a brown shawl. Worms crawl across the lawn. Dogs howl and
growl. Down town I saw a new gown. Use an awl to sew my shoe. The
clown may drown there. Puss has four paws with strong claws. The scow
was drawn to the mill and sawn. Do not frown or look cross. I hear
the fowl at dawn.

He threw the screws under the cabin. The Jew slew a tiger. The storm
blew and the good boat flew. Yet few of her crew were lost. The calf
chews straw. I have a father and mother, two brothers and three
sisters. Tie your shoe before you lie down. Brew the tea. Is your
father a farmer? Henry is a great talker.

Hitch the steed to the buggy. Buy a tweed coat. He hurt his knee
against a tree. It began to bleed. Feed the horse half a peck of
oats. Make sure there are no weeds among the seeds. Fetch some beef
broth or soup. The blue-bird has a nest with four wee eggs. Are you
sure you write and spell well?
