ANIMAL FRIENDS 123 



Show also that, as we have taken these animals from 

 their wild environment, where they were free, to help 

 us, we owe them the kindness and protection that we 

 have taught them to need. 



Hand Work 



The children are to make a list of all the animals that 

 are man's friends and tell how they are useful. 



OPENING TALK 



Do you remember the story of St. Francis and the 

 wolf of Gubbio? ^ What did this same St. Francis call 

 the birds? He was a friend to animals, and they were his 

 friends, too, as they may be ours. Some of man's best 

 friends are his helpers among the animals. When we 

 think what they have done for him I am sure we shall 

 want to trust more in the loving God who giveth us 

 richly all things to enjoy.
