Come, little brother, come to me; I'll teach you soon your A, B, C. You're three years old; you must, indeed, Begin at once to learn to read. Be careful now, don't tear the book, And where I point there you must look. That's A, that's B, and that is C; Now say them plainly after me. That's very well! How very nice! You'll learn your letters in a trice. And then you'll quickly learn to spell, And soon, I hope, read very well. |
