Did you ever make a pie?
Bobby and Betty make pies.
Mother gives them little pieces of pie crust.
They lay the pie crust on the bread-board.
They roll it with a rolling-pin.
They put the pie crust on little pie tins and pat it down.
Then Mother gives each of them a nice red apple.
Bobby pares his apple.
Betty pares her apple.
They quarter the apples.
They core them.
They slice them and fill their pies.
They cover them with pie crust.
They trim off the edges.
Mother puts the pies in the oven.
When they are baked, Mother takes them out.
Bobby and Betty have them at dinner.
For study and play:
Roll a pie crust,
Roll a pie crust,
With a rolling-pin.
Lift a pie crust,
Lay it gently
On a little tin.
Pare an apple,
Core an apple,
Slice it very thin.
Put the top crust
On the pie.
Then the edges trim.
B is cook Betty,
She’s baking a pie
With ten or twelve apples
All piled up on high.
Pippin, pippin, fly away,
Give me one another day.
