He takes Peter's pencils and pens and

The summer weather is not over. It is a
lovely time of the year. The sun is out, but it
is not too hot.

Jane and her mother go into into a shop.


Mother wants to buy a new hat. As his

Today, Mother, Father and the children
are going by car to see Mr White and his
house and garden. It is a sunny day.
"What beautiful weather," says Mother,
as she getsinto the car.
"Yes," says Father, "it's a lovely day to
go out in the car." He tells the children the
way that they will go.
Soon the caris going fast along the road. It
goes up over the hill and then down by the
woods. After this it goes by the farm.
The children look out of the windows of
the car and talk . "There's the donk ey," says
Peter.
"Yes, the dear old donkey," says Jane.
"We must go and see him soon.
Then they come to Mr White's house. The
car stops by a door in a wall. The door is
closed. "This is the garden door, " says
Father.
It is a lovely sunny wall. It is yellow, and
there are flowers on the top of the wall. Some
beautiful butterflies are by the flowers.
"I love butterflies, " says Jane.

ifltt
Father and Mother go round to the other
door to see Mr White. Peter and Jane wait in
the car by the door in the yellow wall. They
look at the wall and at the lovely blue flowers
and butterflies.
The garden door has PRIVATE on it.
"Can you read what's on the door?" Peter
asks Jane.
"Yes, it's PRIVATE," she saYS.
"I can read PRIVATE, too," says Peter.
"It means people can go in only if they want
to see Mr White."
" Yes, " says Jane T "PRIVATE means that
the door and the garden are for his use only. "
The door is closed, but soon they can hear
some people in the garden. Then the door
opens and they hear their father call.
Peter and Jane push the car door open,
jump out, and go in the,gutd:,.d39t.

Jane, so they say they will make them a log
house.
First, Jack looks at the logs and thinks.
Then he says, "I know how to do it. Help me
to push those big ones over here. "
Pam's black puppy comes up to see what is
going on. He wants to play. "No," says Jane
to the puppy, "we have work to do." Some
little chicks come by and the puppy runs off
after them.

Jack and his friend make the log house for
the children. They find an old door and put it
intg place.
Jane wants the boys to know that she can
write. She writes ENTRANCE WAY IN on
the door. When he sees this, Peter writes
EXITWAY OUT.
Farn comes along. "Has my puppy been
here ?" she asks.
utYes," says Jane, "he came by here and
then ran off to play with some chicks. He ran
that way. I'll come with you to help to find
him if you like."
Peter talks to Jack. He says, "You can
swim very well and I like the way you dive
into the water. I want to learn to dive like
you. I can swim a little now."
Jack says, " If you want to swim well,
swim every day if you can. I live by the sea, so
I can swim every day."
Jane comes back, " Pam has found her
puppy," she says. She plays in the log house
with Peter until it is time to go home.

"I must learn to dive like that."
Then Jack helPs Peter to dive.

Peter asks Jack to take him for a swim. "I
