[Illustratie: Jongens die voor een brandend huis rennen.]
This house is on fire.
Dit huis staat in brand.
Look! the roof is in a blaze.
Kijk! het dak staat in vlam.
Run, boys, and ring the bell. Call some men to put out the fire.
Ren, jongens, en bel de bel. Roep wat mannen om de brand te blussen.
We may yet save the house, if we work hard
We kunnen het huis misschien nog redden, als we hard werken
LESSON XXXV.--REVIEW.
LES XXXV.--HERHALING.
Bess, do you hear a noise?
Bess, hoor jij een geluid?
Yes, Tom; what is it?
Ja, Tom; wat is het?
It is the mill by our house; logs are cut there.
Het is de molen naast ons huis; daar worden boomstammen gezaagd.
How do they cut the logs, Tom,--with an ax?
Hoe zagen ze de boomstammen, Tom,--met een bijl?
Not with an ax, Bess; it is too hard work; they cut them with a saw.
Niet met een bijl, Bess; dat is te zwaar werk; ze zagen ze met een zaag.
May we not go and see the mill at work, Tom?
Mogen we niet gaan kijken hoe de molen werkt, Tom?
Yes, I think so. The air is cool, and we can walk in the shade. We should go soon, Bess, or the pile of wood will be gone.
Ja, ik denk het wel. De lucht is koel, en we kunnen in de schaduw lopen. We moeten snel gaan, Bess, anders is de houtstapel weg.
Our two goats and the cart are here, Tom; we can ride to the mill. It is not up hill, and the goats can pull us fast.
Onze twee geiten en de kar staan hier, Tom; we kunnen naar de molen rijden. Het is niet bergopwaarts, en de geiten kunnen ons snel trekken.

[Illustration: Six children surrounding young woman.]
[Illustratie: Zes kinderen die een jonge vrouw omringen.]
The girls and boys all love Miss May; she is so kind to them.
De meisjes en jongens houden allemaal van juffrouw May; ze is zo aardig voor hen.
Miss May tells them there is a rule that she wants them to keep. It is, "Do to each one as you would like each one to do to you."
Juffrouw May vertelt hen dat er een regel is die ze moeten naleven. Die is: "Doe aan ieder ander zoals je zou willen dat ieder ander jou behandelt."
This is a good rule, and all boys and girls should keep it.
Dit is een goede regel, en alle jongens en meisjes zouden hem moeten naleven.
