Excerpt from An Primary Geography on the Basis of the Object Method of InstrucitonIN autumn, many kinds of fruit and grain ripen, and, with other products of the farm, are gathered into houses and barns for the use of man and beast during the coming Winter.The young birds have grown strong, and some are ¿ying toward the South. The young. Lambs have grown large, and the sheep which were sheared are again covered with a growth of wool, to protect them from the cold and snows of winter. The leaves fall from the trees, withered and dead, enriching the ground upon which they decay.In winter, man and beast feed upon the food which has, been gathered during Summer and Autumn. The domestic animals, warm and well-fed, look out from their barns and sheds upon the falling snows. Snow falls and enriches the ground, while protecting it from severe cold. Some wild animals, covered with thick coats of fur, seek their dens. The frogs. Bury themselves in the mud and go to sleep. The squirrels feed upon the nuts which they have taken from the forest-trees, and the honey-bees eat the sweets which they have gathered from many ¿owers.The farmer thinks of the year which has passed, and thanks god for his great goodness. The young enjoy the cold air and storms of snow. The old remember their youth, and say they are now in the winter of life. Their gray hairs are the frosts of age, and their tottering steps show the decay of strength.Oh, be kind to the aged! Once young and strong, but now infirm, soon they will pass to the grave.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
