Lesson:
‘Papa, may we have the big flag?’ said James.
‘What can my little boy do with such a big flag?’
‘Hoist it on our tent, papa. We are playing Fourth of July.’
‘Is that what all this noise is about? Why not hoist your own flags?’
‘Oh! they are too little.’
‘You might spoil my flag.’
‘Then we will all join to pay for it. But we will not spoil it, papa.’
‘Take it, then, and take the coil of rope with it.’
‘Oh! thank you. Hurrah for the flag, boys!’
