/-/I gave*D1 you, (in the last lesson, )the history (of

George Jones, )an idle boy,=A--03 and showed*D1 you the

consequences (of his idleness. )/-/I shall now give*D1 you the

history (of Charles Bullard, )a classmate=A--04 (of George. )/-

/Charles was*A1 about the same age (as George, )and did not

possess*D1 superior talents. /-/Indeed, I doubt*D1 [DOwhether he

was*A1 equal (to him )(in natural powers )(of mind. )]/c/But

Charles was*N1 a hard student. /-/[ALWhen*E quite young, ]he

was*A2 always careful and diligent (in school. )/-/Sometimes,

[ALwhen there was*N1 a very hard lesson, ](instead of

going=GOP060 )out to play=IAV020 (during recess, )he would stay*-

in to study.=IAV020 /-/He had resolved*D1 [DOthat his first

object should be*N1 to get=IPN051 his lessons well, ]/C/and then

he could play*- (with a good conscience. )/-/He loved*D1 play as

well (as anybody, )and was*N1 one (of the best players )(on the

ground. )/-/I hardly ever saw*D1 any boy catch=IDO091 a ball

better [ARthan he could.*D0 ]/-/[ALWhen playing*E1 any game,

have said*D1 [DOthat Charles would sometimes stay*- in (at

recess. )]/-/This, however, was*- very seldom; /C/it was*N1 only

[PNwhen the lessons were*A1 very hard indeed. ]/-/Generally, he

was*-1P (among the first )(on the playground, )/C/and he was

also*-1P (among the first )to go=IAJ060 (into school )[ARwhen*E

called. ]/-/Hard study gave*D1 him a relish (for play, )/C/and

play again gave*D1 him a relish (for hard study; )/C/so he was*A1

happy both (in school )and out. /-/The preceptor could not

help*D1 liking=GDO021 him, [ARfor he always had*D1 his lessons

well committed,=SDO040 and never gave*D1 him any trouble. ]!!!!!!!!
