Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Conversations of a Father With His Children The lessons were all learned with great care, on the day we were just speaking of, though the learners could not help, now and then, looking out of the window at the snow, as it continued to fall. As soon as the morning´s business was over, they hastened to their papa´s room, and began to put questions to him much faster than he could answer them. "One at a time, little people, if you please," said he; "we shall have plenty of time; and I really cannot answer all at once. What does my youngest of all say?" H.O, papa! I am so afraid this snow has covered all the poor sheep. They were in the meadow yesterday, just opposite my bed room window, and I cannot see one to-day. Poor things! I´m afraid they are buried in the snow, papa. P. No, my boy. I dare say, Farmer Careful has got them all safe in his fold, and has given them a good breakfast of hay before now. He would be a very poor farmer, if he did not take care of his sheep at such seasons as this. But, as Mary read to us from Thomson yesterday, a sudden and heavy fall of snow, drifted by a boisterous wind, has been often known to cover whole flocks of sheep, and herds of cattle, and men, women, and children, and to bury them in one night. But this is seldom the case in our country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
