away.We both laughed with joy.

Passage 3
Little George lived in a poor village.One summer day,George's mother sent him to the field to
pick up some dried wood for the fire.George looked very hard.By the time the sun was high,he was
very hot and wished for a cool place to rest and have some food.As he walked along,he found some
shade,and by it were some fine,wild strawberries.
"How good these will be with my bread and butter,"thought George.He picked up all of the
strawberries.As he was lifting a strawberry to his mouth,he remembered his sick mother,alone in
her dark,cold room in the village.
With this in mind,he put the strawberry back again."Shall I save them for her?"he asked
himself.
He thought how good they would be for her,yet was still looking at them with a longing eye.
"I will eat half,and take the other half to her,"he said.
He divided them into two heaps(),but each heap looked so small.He put them together
again.
“I will only eat one,”he thought..
But,as he again lifted it to his mouth,he saw that he had taken the finest,and he put it back.
When the sun was beginning to sink,George set out for home.How happy he felt,then,that he had
all his strawberries for his sick mother.

back.I am t...,and am longing for some tea."
