I've been to town with mamma. What have you in your hand? Did you buy anything?

Mamma did. Guess what this is. Something good to eat-candy? No; not candy. Guess again.

REVIEW.

Look at Mr. May's house!
It is all on fire.

Why, so it is. Run! run! All the men and boys in town ran, too.

But they did not put the fire out.
The house was all burned.

What will the May children do? asked Bessie.

They have not any home.

May I ask Ida to come to our home?

Yes. But Mr. May will find a house soon.

Ida can have some of my clothes.

Here is Fred. Is the fire out, Fred?

No. I came to get something for the men. A man has hurt his foot. Did the fire burn it?

No. But one man has a bad burn on his hand.

I am glad the children did not get burned.

Yes. So am I. But I am sorry they have no house to live in.
