      THE FIVE LITTLE FRIENDS AT SCHOOL

      Bob and Betty, Paul and Peggy and little Dot are five little friends. They go to the same school. Many other children go to the school too, but these five little friends are the ones this story is about.

      Bob is the tall boy in the brown suit. Betty is the girl in the checked dress. Paul is the boy with the white blouse. Peggy is the girl with curls. Little Dot is the tiny child with bobbed hair.

      Bob and Betty, Paul and Peggy and little Dot have a very fine teacher. She is called Miss West. Many other children are in Miss West's room too. But the five little friends are the ones this story is about.

      One morning when the children came to school Miss West had a surprise for them. On her desk was something large and round. It was all covered with paper.

      Guess what this is, children, said Miss West.

      It is a balloon, said Bob.

      I think it is a football, said Paul.

      No, no, you are both wrong, said Miss West. She took the paper off.

      What do you think it was?

      It was a big glass bowl. In it were six goldfish. They were swimming about in the water.

      Little folks, said Miss West, these are our school pets. We must feed them and give them fresh water. Then they will live a long time and we can have fun watching them.

      The children stood around the bowl. They watched the fish swim and float. They laughed when one fish chased another round and round the bowl. He looked very funny with his big mouth wide open.

      Soon Miss West showed the children how to feed the fish. After that they took turns in caring for them. Paul and Peggy had the first turn. Next Bob and Betty had their turn. After that little Dot took care of the fish all by herself. The other children had turns too. But this story is about the five little children whose names you know.

      One day Miss West said to the children, How many of you little girls and boys have pets of your own?

      A great many hands were raised.

      I have! said Bob.

      I have! said Paul.

      I have, I have, I have, said Betty and Peggy and little Dot.

      I have thought of a fine plan, said Miss West. Each day one child may tell the other children about his pet.

      What fun! said Betty; and all the other children thought, What fun that will be!

      Who will have the first turn? asked Bob.

      We will play a game to see, said Miss West.

      So Miss West wrote the names of all the children
