Reading

Polly and Betty were at the window watching for grandmother. Every year she came to see them on her birthday. When grandmother came, she had two packages. The girls ran to help her. don’t let them fall, she said, they have magic in them, and the magic will not work if you let them fall. What is in the packages? asked polly and Betty.

wait and see, said grandmother, after dinner, grandmother said, now we will open the packages. Out of each package came a flower pot full of black dirt. Each pot had three letters tied to it with strings. Here is  a magic pot for each of you, said grandmother. Each pot has three letters that tell you how to make the magic work. Open the first letter now, the next one in four weeks, and the last one on Valentine Day.

Polly and Betty read their first letters. Each letter said, give your magic pot some water, and put it in a dark place in the cellar. Grandmother said, do just what the letters tell you, and some day your pots will give you a big surprise. Thank you grandmother, said the girls.Then they gave their flower pots some water and ran to put them in the cellar. Four weeks after grandmother had gone. each girl read her next letter. it said, give your pot another drink, if you see any magic, put it in a north window, and give it a little drink every day. Betty found something in her magic pot, that made her very happy. A tiny plant coming up.
