130 ANIMALS AND INSECTS 



when we love them. Even wild animals feel it. For 

 there are great-hearted men, full of love for all God's 

 creatures, who are able to go without harm into the 

 thick mountain forests and the wildest country, 

 places where most of us would not think it safe to 

 go. In some way the wild animals know that these 

 men will not harm them and they in turn do no 

 harm. 



Why should we not think of ourselves as the older 

 brothers of the animals? Are we not all God's 

 creatures? And should we not give love and care to 

 those creatures which God has given to us to use 

 and to enjoy?
