Maria's father is a carpenter. He made a strong table for us. Patricia's mother gave us a pretty cover for our table. The cover is red with black stripes. It was brought from Zamboanga. Some of the boys and girls in our room brought books to place on our book table. Sulpicio brought a book with easy words and colored pictures in it. Francisca brought another like it. . The book which Perfecto brought has many funny pictures in it. Donato's mother sent us a book about animals. It has many pietures of animals in it. We all like that book. Others brought books also. . Each month our teacher places 18 copies of THE YOUNG CITIZEN on our book table. Each pupil in our room hurries to get his seat work finished, so he can read THE YOUNG CITIZEN. One day Asuncion's mother came to visit our school. She saw our book table. "What a nice book table!" said Asuncion's mother. "And such lovely books and magazines! Do the boys and girls read them?" "Yes, indeed," answered our teacher. "Our boys and girls like to read. Our book table is very useful. The books and magazines on it are a great help in teaching the boys and girls to read."
