country, far
away from here. They once lived inside a berry.

'The berry was red like a cherry, and the seeds inside were held
together in a little bag.'

7. 'There must have been a flower before the berry came,' said Harry,
thinking of the pea-flower and its pod.

'A very pretty white flower,' said his mother. 'They say that a
coffee-garden looks lovely in blossom-time, just as if it were all
covered with snow.

8. 'In two or three days the snow-like blossoms are gone, and the fruit
is left. When it is ripe, men put cloths under the trees, and shake it
down.'

9. 'I wish I could go and help!' said Harry. 'What comes next?'

'They pick up the berries, dry them in the sun, and get the beans out.
Then they send the beans over the sea in a ship. And here they are!'

1. 'It is such a wet day, I don't know what to do!' said Harry, looking
very unhappy.

2. 'Are you tired of your drawing and painting?' asked his mother.

'Oh yes! And we have played at houses, and had the bricks out on the
floor, and now there is nothing to do, and it is not nearly tea-time
yet. Will you read to us, mother?'

3. 'Not just now. But if you would help me a little I should get on
faster, and then we might have a nice time before tea.'

'Jolly!' cried Harry; and he ran to the foot of the stairs and called
Dora.

4. Down came Dora very fast, with her doll in her arms, and the dog at
her heels.

5. 'What I want you to do,' said mother, 'is to tear up these old papers
and put them into this sack. The man is coming soon to take it to the
paper-mill.'

6. 'Why is it taken to the paper-mill?' asked Harry.

'To be made over again into paper. Perhaps it will come back to us some
day, all clean.

7. 'Or it may be made into a newspaper, and father may bring it home in
his pocket.'

'Or we may get it in copy-books at school.'

'Yes; or it may come from the shop with rice in it.'

8. 'It may never come at all,' said Dora. 'Perhaps it will go to some
other house.'

'That is quite likely,' said mother, who was now cleaning the hearth.

9. They went on putting the paper
