They tried to escape from the giant's castle on Saturday. The angry
negro was quite crazy. There were pieces of smooth cloth. The stable
is of great size. The thief spied a dainty, square basket. The quiet
pony grazes in a huge meadow. Who is that proud person coming along?
Eager for some bright tulips.

Bears prance and dance. They waste little in France. I chanced to
glance about. He should make haste. His mother begged Jack not to
climb the bean stalk. She said the giant would be sure to know him,
and he could never return alive. Jack kept quiet for he would not
tell a lie. He put on his old clothes, and stained his face and hands
a dark brown color. Rising early one summer day, he said he would try
his luck again.

A sore throat. A quire of note paper. The fore wheels and hind
wheels. An apple core. He does chores after school. He snores very
often. He swore on the Bible. The wagon tire broke. Squire Jones
wore a velvet jacket. He climbs the church spire. Do you know the
base-ball score? He bore a heavy burden. Hire the silent mason. His
sore thumb is healing. Twist the wires in the cable. I tore my shoe
there.

Sailors splice ropes. The slice of ice-cream was nice. You may fail
twice or thrice, try again. It is worth while to smile or laugh.
Lying is a mean vice. The price of a steel file. Put plenty of spice
in mince pies.
Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever;
Do lovely things, not dream them, all day long;
And so make Life, and Death, and that Forever,
One grand, sweet song.

She chose a calico gown. Please close the stove door. A drove of
sheep. They roved in a shady grove. They wove tweed from wool. He
strove to cross the river. A pair of robins built their nest in a
poplar tree near my window. There were four blue eggs after two
weeks. From those were hatched four lively birds. They opened their
mouths very wide, always greedy for food. The two parent birds were
kept busy bringing them worms and flies. Young robins have downy
coats.

She wears a blue plume. There is no clue to the cute robber. He
sued for wages due. Smoke goes up the flue. Glue the cube. A lively
milkmaid was walking to market to sell a pail of cream. This she bore
on her head. She would buy eggs with the money, and raise chickens.
These would bring high prices at the village. She could buy a new
gown. She felt so proud she tossed her head. The pail tumbled down
and all was lost.
