Hauling the Logs 



THERE comes a man with a team of horses. 

 What fine, large animals the horses are! Each 

 one of them weighs more than a thousand 

 pounds; but they have need of all their strength 

 in moving logs which often weigh as much or 

 more than they. The horses drag a long steel 

 chain behind them. At the end of the chain are 

 some iron hooks. The driver fastens the hooks 

 in one end of a large log, shouts to his horses, and 

 away they go. The log is heavy, yet the horses 

 almost run with it.
