Lesson:
- It is winter. The cold wind whistles through the branches of the trees.
- Mr. Brown has done his day’s work, and his children, Harry and Kate, have come home from school. They learned their lessons well today, and both feel happy.
- Tea is over. Mrs. Brown has put the little sitting room in order. The fire burns brightly. One lamp gives light enough for all. On the stool is a basket of fine apples. They seem to say, ‘Won’t you have one?’
- Harry and Kate read a story in a new book. The father reads his newspaper, and the mother mends Harry’s stockings.
- By and by, they will tell one another what they have been reading about, and will have a chat over the events of the day.
- Harry and Kate’s bedtime will come first. I think I see them kiss their dear father and mother a sweet good night.
- Do you not wish that every boy and girl could have a home like this?
