The Normal Course in Reading: Fourth Reader; The Wonderful Things Around Us (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Normal Course in Reading: Fourth Reader; The Wonderful Things Around Us

One afternoon when the school duties Of the day were done, a bright, thoughtful boy sat at his window. He saw the river that swept past the garden wall.

On the other side Of the river lay a beautiful val ley, and beyond this, long lines Of hills. Among these hills were small valleys leading into the one through which the river wound its way.

The boy beheld this delightful scene with a look Of inquiry on his face.

What could he be thinking about? What did he wish to inquire about? Was it the curious curves of the hills, giving such grace to the land scape, that pleased him?
