Excerpt from The Haliburton Third ReaderDon't you like to watch the setting sun as it seems to drop down behind the edge of the world? Then our day is over and our night begins.When we see the glorious sun again in the mom ing, it seems to come up over the edge of the world at a point in the sky just opposite to the place where we saw it set.This makes us think of the wonderful ball on which we live, a great ball that turns over and over, and always in the same direction.At sunset, we know the ball is turning our side of its surface away from the sun. But it is only for a little while. It will soon turn us again toward the light of the great sun.Sunrise and sunset make us think of the chil dren who live on other parts of the surface of our great ball. We know that on the other side. Of this ball, the little children are waking to greet the rising sun, just when we are saying good-night to it at its setting. As you stand watching the sunset and thinking of those children on theopposite side of the ball, do you not wish to know them? Shouldn't you like to visit them in their far away homes? Perhaps you may really visit them some day.But until that day comes, you can read about them, and take imaginary trips to some of their countries.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
