A little city girl and her mother went to the sea shore during the summer to get the refreshing breeze and rest.
Everything was new to the little girl, and consequently she was much pleased with the new surroundings.
One day, another little girl, who lived in the place, was there with a little calf that evidently had become fully acquainted with her, and did not run away from her, as a calf generally does, so she invited the little city girl to come and see the calf and pet it, She certainly would not go without her mother, nor would she let loose of her mother’s dress, but she did venture to pet the calf, but both calf and she were afraid of each other.
Peace and quietness, gentleness and kindness may be shown now, and those who know the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, should show these characters to one another and to the animals as well. This is a wise way to act, and the results, are always good.
