What a happy, peaceful scene we have in our picture today!
Do you see any of these pretty creatures quarreling or fighting? No, not one. Each one is eating his own food, and quietly letting the others have their share. Perhaps some of us can learn a lesson from this beautiful picture.
Some children quarrel and try to get things away from each other—not contented with their own share, or their own playthings. But they look neither happy nor pretty, when they are acting-that way, and I’m sure they don’t feel happy. We are all much happier when we are treating others kindly and unselfishly.
