Billy Goes to School

It was the very first day of school for Billy.

Breakfast was over, and he was all ready to go.

He had a new hat and new shoes, and he looked very nice.

"Take good care of Billy, Alice," said Mother.

"Watch for the cars as you go across the street."

"Hurry, Alice," said Billy. "I want to get to school early."

Billy and his sister started to school.

Many other children were going to school, too.

Soon Billy saw the big red school across the street.

Some children were playing in the school yard.

Just then Alice saw Polly and stopped to talk with her.

"Wait for me, Billy," she said.

But Billy did not want to wait for his sister. He wanted to hurry.

Some of the boys in the school yard were playing ball.

Billy wanted to play with them.

He saw some cars coming, but he thought he could get across the street if he ran very fast.

So he started to run.

Just then a big boy caught Billy and stopped him.

The big boy had a white band on his coat.

He said, "Look out, little boy, or a car will run over you.

Watch that light up there.

When it is red, it says STOP.

When it is yellow, it says WAIT.

When it is green, it says GO."

Billy said, "Thank you! I will do what the light tells me to do."

After school Billy met his sister, "Who are the big boys that have white bands?" he asked.

She said, "I don't know their names.

But they stand in the street and watch the little children.

They always have white bands."

Billy said, "Some day I shall have a white band on my coat.

Then I'll help the little children across the street and tell them to watch the lights." And he did!
