2. As they grow, tendrils shoot out and take hold of the sticks. Pretty
green leaves grow too. Then come the dainty white flowers.
3. When the flowers wither, they leave little green pods. Inside the
pods are little green peas. Peas and pods grow larger each day until
ripe.
4. Peas are very good for food. Pigs like the husks.

IRON AND METAL. [_Page 67._
1. Metals are made from ores which are dug out of the earth. These ores
are found in many parts of the world. Iron is the most common, as well
as the most useful metal.
2. Many things we use are made of it. The _steel_ of which our knives,
tools, and other things are made, is made from iron. Iron is largely
used for making bridges, railings, fire-grates, hammers.
3. Lead, copper, tin, and zinc are metals also. So are silver and gold.
4. Men must dig deep down into the earth to find them. The holes and
passages which they make are called mines.
5. All metals are heavy. All will melt in great heat, and all can be
hammered out into thin sheets or drawn out into wire.
