Your questions, at first, must be as definite, as this : Is any one speaking? (Insist on the answer " yes " or "no.") Who is speaking? What does he say? Put your fingers around what he says. What do we call those words ? What marks are around them? Point to those marks and tell their name. What mark is used to separate the...
Page 51 - I and the sweet cherry tree ; The bird told the tree, and the tree told me, And nobody knows it but just we three. But of course the robin knows it best, Because he built the— I shan't tell the rest ; And laid the four little — somethings in it — I am afraid I shall tell it every minute.
