Reading

On a street corner in a busy town there lived a boy name Billy. His father was a policeman. Whose work was to help old people and children cross the street safely. Billy was very proud of his father and wanted to be like him. someday, he said to himself, i will be a policeman too. Then i will help people to cross the street. Near Billy’s bedroom window was a big elm tree. High up in the tree the boy could often see a mother squirrel sitting close to her nest. Sometimes Billy put peanuts outside his window, and it did not take long for the sharp eyes to Mother squirrel to see them there. Down he would come to  long branch of the elm. Quickly she would pick up a peanut, put it into her mouth, and scamper away.

Billy liked to watch the squirrel hiding her food. Almost always she hurried away to the garden with the peanut. Scratch scratch went her sharp front paws until she had made little hold in the ground. Then she took the nut from her mouth, put it into the hole and covered it up.
