play. The river was not far from the farmhouse. 4. Rover liked to swim in the river. As soon as he came near it he would jump in and swim to the other side. Then he would swim back to his little master. 5. Rover had a pretty little house to live in. The farmer kept it under a large tree near the river. 6. Every night he tied Rover fast to the little house. That was to keep him from running away. 7. One night a storm of rain came and carried the little house into the river. Poor Rover! he was tied fast and had to go with it. 8. Down the river he went and soon came to the falls. The river ran so fast that no one could help him. Two men in a boat tried to reach him, but could not. 9. It was now daylight. People were going to their work. As the little house came near the falls the people stopped to watch it. 10. How sorry they were for the poor dog! They knew that he would soon be killed. It was only a minute more when house and dog went over the falls. So it was that kind old Rover lost his life. diver can not go down to the bottom if the water is deep. 4. A ship was sunk at this place. It is near a rocky shore. A storm came up and the wind blew the ship onto the rocks. Then the waves dashed it to pieces. 5. The storm is over now. The wind and the waves are still. Now the diver can do his work. 6. There were some bags of gold on the ship. The diver is trying to find them. If he finds the gold, some of it will be his. 7. It is very dark at the bottom of the sea. The diver has to feel around to find the lost things. 8. This diver has found one of the bags of gold. There must be a hole in the bag. I hope he will not lose it all. 9. See the fishes look at the diver. I wonder what they think of him. Maybe they think he is a new kind of fish. 10. How would you like to be a diver? |
