Text Appearing Before Image:
May we boys have a swing, Helen?
Yes, Don, we have had a swing. Now we will sit in the shade. We can play with our dolls. How do you like to go up in a swing, John?
I like to go up as high as the branches of the trees.
Swing me high, Don. Then I will swing you. Let me touch the branches. Let me see where the birds sleep at night. When I am in the swing, I play I am a bird.
What do I see? What do I hear?
I see a bird's nest in the branches of a tree. I see the blue sky. I see flowers and grass and clover. I hear the birds sing. I hear the lambs call.
Text Appearing After Image:
Play you are a star in the blue sky.
What will you do, little star?
I will twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Play you are the sun in the blue sky.
What will you do, bright sun?
I will shine and shine. Play you are the wind in the fields. What will you do in the fields, wind? I will blow and blow. I will bend the flowers and clovers. I will bend the long green grass. Play you are the wind in the woods. What will you do in the woods, wind? I will bend the branches of the trees. I will blow high and blow low. I will call to the little birds in the nest. I will call to the mother bird on the nest. I will call to the big black bear. I will call to the old gray wolf.
