Old Mrs. McGregor lives up in Scotland. And, she has three (3) very nice nieces – Sarah, Janet and Susan.

Sarah is a knitter. Last year, she knitted three beautiful pullovers. A red one for Mildrude her sister, a green one for Clarence her brother, and a bright orange one with lots of green spots for her granny!

And, Janet loves baking. Last week, she baked three very tasty cakes. A chocolate cake for old uncle Fred, a strawberry cake for her nice cousin Jane, and a lemon and coconut cake for strict aunt Matilda.

And, what about Susan? Susan is a singer! She sings to the flowers in her garden. And, last month, Susan went up to the top of a mountain and sang to all the flowers in Scotland! Oh! What a beautiful day.

And, do you like singing to your flowers? I do, it's very good fun and my flowers enjoy it!
