When our ideal for ourselves and for our children becomes limited to prosperity and comfort, we get these, very likely, for ourselves and for them, but we get no more. - Charlotte Mason

A wise little poem from 1st grade penmanship

This delighted us the other day. The children quickly memorized it. I find it particularly delightful to hear the 3yo recite it to the 1yo.

A wise old owl lived in an oak.
The more he saw, the less he spoke.
The less he spoke, the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
