132 ANIMALS AND INSECTS 



Hand Work 



Each child is to write a short story of some dog that 

 he knows or that he has heard about. 



Ask the child to illustrate his story by pasting on a 

 picture of a dog which he has found and cut out. 



If the dog in the picture is the same kind as the dog 

 in his story, so much the better. 



OPENING TALK 



What can j^ou tell about some of our useful animals? 

 Were they always tame and obedient? 



Can you tell why the camel and the elephant are 

 more adapted to some countries than the horse? How 

 is the nature of a trained elephant different from that of 

 a wild one? Tell about the trained elephants. 



What is the nature of a finely bred horse? 



If man has taken these animals away from their wild 

 homes and made them dependent upon him for food and 

 care, what do we owe them? 



What do we owe to God in return for the special gift 

 that He has given us of being able to take these wild 

 animals and train them for our use? 



We shall hear to-day about another of our animal 

 friends, the one boys and girls know the best of all. It 

 is the dog.
