第37章 THE SWINg

How do you like to go up in a swing, Up in the air so blue?

Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall, Till I can see so wide,Rivers and trees and cattle and all Over the countryside-Till I look down on the garden green, Down on the roof so brown-Up in the air I go flying again, Up in the air and down!

- R. L. STEVENSON

Author.-See " The Land of Story Books."

General Notes.-Why is it pleasant to go up in a swing? What do you see? What other ways are there of going up in the air? Which one would you like best? Why?
