This Globe
you see is almost
round, as
the earth on
which you live,
and like the stars that
shine above you every
night.
A Mortar.
This is made of iron, or of wood, or of stone, and is used to pound spice in for puddings.
[4]
Boot and
Shoes for
my father.
When you
grow a gentleman, you
shall have white-top
boots and silk strings in
your shoes.
A Black Hat which is made of wool and fur, and then worn by men and boys. We will go to the hatter’s and buy one.
[5]
Wool Sack
is a large
bag, filled
with wool from the back
of the Sheep that have
already come from the
pasture to be sheared.
This great Tree stands in the Common, and is 65 feet high, 22 feet girth or circumference, 7 feet through, and 83 feet across the branches or about 250 feet round, and covering 7289 sq. ft.
[6]
A Horse is
a fine fellow
to ride on.
Horses are of all colours,
bay and black, grey and
white, and chesnut and
sorrel.
A Barrel of cider that the farmer has brought us from the country. I hope the barrel was sweet and clean before he put the cider in it.
[7]
Here is the
pretty House
that Daniel’s
father built, and where
he now lives with all his
little boys. It has trees
before it, and the children
are playing in the
parlour.
This Sheep is one of the flock, who is going home because he has eaten grass enough to-day.
[8]
Chest of Tea
from the Chinese.
Little
boys and girls
must not have tea, because
milk, which you
can have from this cow
is much better.
This Cow belongs to the farmer whose history I am now going to tell you, and who brings milk here every day.

Story of the Boy who
would be a Soldier.
There was a little boy who was just four years old when I knew him, and he lived in this house, and when he grew up he did not wish to be [10] a scholar, and learn the letters, but wanted to be a Soldier and follow the drum. Here you can see one, pretty enough to look at, but of a very noisy sound. Well, this boy would become a soldier, and he [11] was drest in a suit of fine clothes every day, and he strutted about, but if he did any thing wrong, he was sure to be whipped. See him march before the sentry-box, which I think is very hard work, because he must keep going, whether it rains hard or shines hot. In his hand is a heavy gun, on his back a knapsack, and on his head a great cocked hat. Look at [12] him, and see besides the tents or huts in which a soldier sleeps.
Well, after a little time he had to go to a great distance from home, into another part of the world, and one night while he was [13] lying under the tent on his straw bed, he was very much startled by hearing this Lion roar, for he was in that part of the globe where lions live, and he was so frightened that he said he would not be a [14] soldier any longer, but get to his home again as fast as he could. So in the very first ship that sailed for his own country he came home. Here is the ship.
[15]
When he left off his
coloured clothes, and his
gun and belts, he wore
a round hat, and went
to be a farmer, and he
soon bought him a bay
horse, and here he has
him by the bridle. If
you are a good child to-day,
he will put him in
[16]
a chaise and give you a
pleasant ride.
I think it much better for him to be a farmer, and to keeps pigs, and sheep, and cows, and horses, than to be shooting men with his black powder and leaden balls, and I wish him success in his new labour.
