Most of us are fond of pets, and it would be hard to find a boy or girl who didn't want either a
dog or a kitten. It is a small wonder, for a dog is a very faithful friend, and anything more delightful
than a tiny, fluffy kitten, full of fin and spirits
, it would be hard to find. But sometimes these pets do
not have a very easy time of it
. Only a few days ago, we saw a little boy out on the sidewalk with his
kitten. He was enjoying himself, but the kitten wasn't
, for he would pick it up and throw it across the
yard, till the poor kitten mewed pitifully. Now, if we are going to have pets, we ought to learn to treat
them well
, just as we would wish to be treated ourselves. We may think, perhaps, that our dog belongs
to us, and for that reason we can do with him just as sve please. But do we ever stop to consider that
the pets may not enjoy being kicked and beaten and pulled about any more than we would if we were
in their place? That is something we must think about. We might have been bom helpless, in the
power of other and larger creatures. But it has pleased our Father to make us what we are, and to give
us the power over his other creatures, and for that reason we should be very kind and gentle with them.
He wishes us to be merciful, and so we have his promise that those who are merciful shall have mercy
shown on them, if ever they come to be in need of it
. And then, that it may be very plain to us, he tells
us that the merciful man is merciful to his beast." This means that man is kind and gentle to all the
creatures that he has anything to do with to his horse and his cow, to his dog, and even to the tiny
kitten that ties itself up into a ball
, chasing its own tail
. Isn't this promise worth trying for? write summary
