adapted from The Star and the Lily by Hamilton Wright Mabie There was a time when the world was filled with happy people, none were in want, and sickness was unknown. One unending spring gave no place for winter, and every tree and bush yielded fruit. It was such a time, when earth was a paradise, that the Native People were the lone inhabitants of the wilderness. At night the people met on the wide green—the ah-nung-o-kah—and watched the stars. One night they saw a star that shone brighter than all others, its location seemingly far away in the south, near a mountain peak. For many nights it was seen, until it was doubted by many that the star was as distant as it seemed to be. This doubt led to an examination, which proved the star to be only a short distance away. Warriors were sent to see what it was, and upon their return they said it appeared strange and somewhat like a bird. A committee was called at once to ascertain the meaning of the unusual phenomenon. By the time one moon had gone by, the mystery still remained unsolved. Then, one night a young warrior had a dream in which the star came and stood at his side, and said, "Young brave, I have come to dwell among you!" Then, the young man awoke, but on stepping out of his lodge he saw the star still in its accustomed place. At early dawn, every warrior was called to the council lodge. When all were gathered, the young warrior related his dream, and the council concluded that the star that had been seen in the south had fallen in love with mankind and wanted to live among them. So, the next night, five braves were sent to welcome the stranger to earth and as they returned to the village, the star, with expanded wings, followed and hovered till the dawn of day. At first, the star decided to live in the mountains, but it could not be seen from there. It went to the prairie next but feared the hoof of the buffalo. It next sought the rocky cliff, but there it was so high that the children, whom it loved most, could not see it. "I know where I shall live," said the bright fugitive, "where I can see the gliding canoe and the Children!" These words having been said, she alighted on the waters and the next morning, when the people awoke, they saw thousands of white flowers on the surface of the lakes and gave them the name wah-be-gwan-nee (white flower). 1 Read the sentence from the passage.

"MAMMA, how much longer have we got to ride?" asked Nan Bobbsey, turning in her seat in the railroad car, to look at her parents, who sat behind her. "Are you getting tired?" asked Nan's brother Bert. "If you are I'll sit next to the window, and watch the telegraph poles and trees go by. Maybe that's what tires you, Nan," he added, and his father smiled, for he saw that Bert had two thoughts for himself, and one for his sister. "No, I'm not tired of the scenery," answered the brown-haired and brown-eyed girl, "but you may sit next to the window, Bert, if you like." "Thanks!" he exclaimed as he scrambled over to the place his sister gave up. "Are you tired, dearie?" asked Mrs. Bobbsey, leaning forward and smoothing out her daughter's hair with her hand. "If you would like to sit with me and put your head in my lap, papa can go to another seat and -" "Oh, no, mamma, I'm not as tired as that," and Nan laughed. "I was just wondering how soon we'd be home." "I'd rather be back at the seashore," said Bert, not turning his gaze from the window, for the train was passing along some fields just then, and in one a boy was driving home some cows to be milked, as evening was coming on. Bert was wondering if one of the cows might not chase the boy. Bert didn't really want to see the boy hurt by a cow, of course, but he thought that if the cow was going to take after the boy, anyhow, he might just as well see it. But the cows were very well-behaved, and went along slowly. from The Bobbsey Twins at School by Laura Lee Hope
