Lesson 91

Paragraph Drill

The school dean gets to sit at the lawn at dawn. He notices that
wild deer. Enjoy the freedom in the lawn. He finds deep relief just
seeing them there. He needs however to keep his distance from them
or they will be frightened. But that is not what he observes at the
lawn alone. He also gets to see a team of boys beaming with joy.
They leap but never weep in tiredness. The early break of day with
just a weak ray of sun gives them fresh gait. Whoa no one can jeer
and leer at them.
