sentence suggests that something is about to happen. This sentence joins the first paragraph to the next.

Is the first sentence of the second paragraph a topic sentence? Why? Does the second sentence follow the first naturally? What new thought is introduced by the third sentence? Why, do you suppose, did the author introduce the sentence, "But that was not all" ? Read the paragraph omitting this sentence. Do you like the paragraph better with or without the sentence? What is the climax in the second paragraph?

What use does the word "then" serve? The last paragraph constitutes the conclusion. What does it tell us? Why is it a natural conclusion ?

Read the entire selection aloud. Do the sentences follow each other naturally? Is the transition from one to another smooth and easy? Select sentences that you like best and tell why you like them.

A paragraph is made up of sentences which relate to the same topic. Are the sentences of the first paragraph sufficiently related in thought to constitute a paragraph ? What makes you think so? Is it true of the second paragraph? Give your reasons.

What is meant by "Pride goeth before a fall" ? Why does the story suggest this proverb ?

. THE ROBIN'S SONG

The Robin's best song is heard about four o'clock or earlier on summer mornings. He joins many others of his kind. He joins them in calling all the birds in all the trees to the feast. The feast is a bountiful feast of insects. It is spread for them. All day long their voices may be heard. They are mellow and soulful. They may be heard somewhere if we stop to listen. To the coming day they call a welcome. To the closing day they call a farewell.
