Didn't you notice how green the maples are?
I took a little walk down to the bottom to-day.

I niver in all my life was so tired of winter, and the first thing I saw was that wet look on the maples, and on the low land, where they are sheltered and yet get the sun, several of them are oozing!" "Grand!" cried Dannie.

"Jimmy, we must peel those rats in a hurry, and then clean the spiles, and see how mony new ones we will need.
To-morrow we must come frae the traps early and look up our troughs." "Oh, for pity sake, don't pile up work enough to kill a horse," cried Jimmy.

"Ain't you ever happy unless you are workin' ?" "Yes," said Dannie.

"Sometimes I find a book that suits me, and sometimes the fish bite, and sometimes it's in the air." "Git the condinser" said Jimmy.
