A Good PlayWe built a ship upon the stairsAll
made of the back-bedroom chairs.And filled it
full of soft pillowsTo go a-sailing on the
billows.We took a saw and several nails,And
water in the nursery pailsAnd Tom said, Let us
also takeAn apple and a slice of cake,---Which
was enough for Tom and meTo go a-sailing on,
till tea.We sailed along for days and days,And
had the very best of playsBut Tom fell out and
hurt his knee,So there was no one left but me.

The le combines with the consonant before it to
make a syllable. Write the words in your
notebook. Lets divide these words into syllables
together. When you are finished read the words
and decide if the first syllable has a long or
short sound. All of these words have the long
vowel sound.
