He hoes beets. Lambs always look cosy in fleeces of wool. Eleven and
eight are nineteen. Baby will screech if you touch his toes. Cheese
is made in the warm months. Choose two combs. Pussy tried to climb
into the churn. Throw the basin of whey into the barrel. First tell
me a fairy story. He goes to jail for being cruel. Pork chops were
fried. Hear the little birds chirp.

Percy scrawls with a pencil. The horse drags a great load on a
snow road. Do you think a toad ugly? We roast beef in an oven. She
scorched her shoes. He likes to coast down steep hills. Toads croak
in the spring. Lucy boasts about her satin scarf and cloak. There is
a deep scar on his scalp. The hot tea will scald you. He gave me the
loan of his knife. The Scotch boy moans and groans. Soak the scraps
of toast in water.

Tie the scarf about your throat. The boat may not float with such a
crowd. We sold our organ for ninety-four dollars. Goats often climb
very high. Papa will scold you for not studying. I paid sixty cents
for a dozen pencils. Fetch the jelly from the pantry. His uncle died
at eighty-two. The iron tongs cost seventy-five cents. Be not bold or
false. Lucy wears such a pretty gown. There was too great a crowd.

Lions eat raw meat. The beams of the sun make wheat grow. Hear the
lambs bleat. Heat turns water into steam. Two horses make a team.
What a neat seam you sew. Treat the dumb boy to some cream. Henry
screams, for he hurt his thumb. Sweep the crumbs from the seat of the
chair. A rich man lost his purse. Never cheat any one. Hurl the flask
into the stream. Be brisk at your work. Which team beat?

The tears rolled clear down his cheeks. We will reap much wheat this
year. The nurse shuns foolish folk. He spilt the beans near the door.
Were the towels cheap or dear? The army had sharp spears. Does he
mean to shear the sheep? My mother is very dear to me. His coat is
much worn but clean. Do not smear your chin with candy. Do you fear
to leap across that clear stream? It is easy to hurt the ear.

Coax mamma, do not tease her. Aunt is too weak to speak. Glass beads
are of many colors. Hear Helen sigh. The barrel leaks. Who leads the
party? There are streaks of gray in his beard. Some birds have blunt
beaks. A thorn scratched my thigh. The fox sneaks among the hazel
bushes. The hungry man pleads for meat. Can you climb that high peak?
A bleak road. Please lead us home. Push a chair nigh.

Each loaf is made with yeast. Teach us to weave carpets. We leave on
Thursday for the east. A feast of peaches and cream. Good men preach
that it is wrong to steal or curse. Each beast was given a meal of
raw veal. They stroll along the sea beach. Reach down the taffy.
Cover your thumb, it will soon heal. The bells peal for joy. Split
open the beans. Copy a clover leaf. He has too much sense to sulk.
