Excerpt from A Second Reader

Bow Wowi Do you see me? I am the little dog, Dime. Betty is the cow, and the man is John. John and I came after Betty.

I am not a cross dog. All my life I have been a pet. Shall I tell you What I can do?

I can sit up and beg. I can shake hands. I can run, O so fast; and I can jump over a stick.

Pomp and I run races. Pomp is the baker's big dog. I can run as fast as Pomp.

And I like to run races With Pomp. He never bites a little dog. We run after the birds, but we never catch any. When we get near them they ﬂy. I wonder how they do it P I can't, and Pomp can't.

But I must tell you about Betty. She is a good cow. She gives nice, white milk. I don't care much for it, but Tab, the cat, laps it up very fast. I like a bone better.

I drive Betty to pasture in the morning, and go after her at night. I could go alone if it were not for the bars. John has to go with me to take down the bars and put them up again. I do not see why Betty cannot take the bars down. I could, if I were as tall as she, and had horns.

I take good care of Betty. If any one comes near, I call, Bow wow, and they go away.
