Lesson 7
Men and Animals

Let’s Read

Topic 1
The Animal Kingdom

Would you believe there’s a kingdom on earth you can visit at any time? This kingdom is filled with wonderful creatures. Our world just wouldn’t be the same without this kingdom―the animal kingdom.
Even if animals are different from one another, they all belong to the same kingdom. Why? All animals have three things in common. All animals move around. They find their food―rather than make their own food. They are made up of many tiny cells that all work together to keep the animal alive. Even though animals seem different, they all have these three things in common. There are many different kinds of animals in the world. All animals aren’t exactly the same, of course. Some animals have a backbone, while others don’t. Some have hair, others don’t. However, each one helps make our world a wild and wonderful place.

Topic 2
Of Animals and Men

Dear friends,
You have asked me to write a piece on animals. Please forgive me. I would like to help you since I have been working with you for many years. But this is simply too much for me.
I mean that it is morally too much for me. It would be rude on my part, as a mere human, to write about animals. Animals are natural and beautiful creatures who refuse to wage wars, rob, or lie.
It’s a pity that animals cannot write. It would be interesting to see what they’d write about us, humans. But why would a cow or an ant do such a thing? They’ve got more urgent things to do at hand. The birds, for example, start singing at dawn. People can’t manage that.
I once met an urban child visiting the country for the first time. This child had been to the zoo to see a tiger and an elephant. But at age nine, he was frightened when he saw a goat. The child asked me why cows had gloves between their legs.
In the early days, people rode on horses. But this was unfair. I cannot understand why a human being has the right to sit on the back of a beautiful horse. I think it’s because a human is too feeble to carry a horse. To make up for this weakness, human beings invented metal animals called cars.
Even a flea is more intelligent than a human. A scientist once said that a flea can find the one spot on a man where he cannot scratch. Forgive me, dear friends, but I cannot respond to your request.
Let me add one more proof that the animal kingdom is superior to the kingdom of man. Animals can neither speak nor print newspapers. They don’t even have radios. Instead of watching television, they look at the beautiful world of God.
