Frank w3. the little stream of sand. He was i 4. ,because it would not run faster. ‘Let me shake it,mother,” said he,”it is lazy,and will never get through.”

“It will,Son,” said his mother, “The sand moves little by little,but it moves all the time. When you look at the hands of the clock, you think they go very s 5. , but they never stop. While you are at play,the sand is r 6. , grain by grain. The hands of the clock are moving,second by second. At night,the sand in the hourglass has run through twelve times. The hour hand of the clock has moved a 7. its great face. That is because they keep working every minute. They do not stop to t 8. how much they have to do and how long it will take them to do it.”
