Essay 3 - The Cow


OUTLINES
1.     No need to describe it.
2.     Many kinds, especially in England.
3.     Very useful because
(a)   it gives milk,
(b)   from which we make butter
(c)    and cheese.
There is no need to say what the cow is like, for every child knows it. In the villages in India, it is often the children who look after the cows, for they are quite gentle animals; though the males, bulls, are often fierce and even dangerous. It is pleasant to see a herd of cows quietly feeding in the fields, or com­ing slowly home to the village in the evening to be milked.
There are many kinds of cows. The ordi­nary Indian cow is a small animal, with a hump on its neck. As a rule it is not fed well, and so is thin and gives but little milk. In England, cows have been carefully bred for the last two hundred years, and many fine and large kinds have been produced. They are big handsome animals, and some give ten times as much milk as the ordinary Indian cow.
The cow is a *ry useful animal, chiefly because it gives us what is a perfect food, namely milk. Milk is such a good food that babies and young children live altogether on it; and grown up people could not do without
it.     Of course there are other animals that give milk, like the goat, the camel, the buffalo, and even the horse; and in some parts of the world their milk is drunk. But, except the buffalo milk, which is rich and good, the milk of these other animals is thin, and sometimes bitter in taste.
From milk we also make butter and cheese. Good butter is made from the rich cream which rises to the top when milk is allowed to stand. Butter is a very good food, and is the only form of fat which some people can eat. And cheese is wholesome and pleasant to the taste.
So from the cow we get three kinds of wholesome and necessary food.

Essay 2 - The Cat


OUTLINES
1.               The cat related to the lion, etc.
2.               Cats have been tamed from early times.
3.               Pretty animals, kept as pets.
4.               Chief use, to catch mice.
5.               The character of the cat.

The cat is related to such fierce wild ani­mals as the lion, the tiger, the leopard and the panther, which are all large cats. In fact all these animals belong to one family, which is called the cat tribe. So we may say that the tiger is a large cat and the cat a small tiger.

Tigers and lions can never be really tamed, though some are kept as prisoners in cages for show. But cats have been tamed from the very earliest times. Cats were kept as pets even in ancient Egypt; thousands of years ago; and the Egyptians worshipped a goddess with the head of a cat.

Cats are kept chiefly as pets. They are pretty animals, and covered with soft fur, of different colours. Some cats are black, some white, some grey with pretty black markings. These last are called “tabby-cats “. Kittens, or young cats, are very playful, and will play for hours with little balls, fallen leaves, or bits of string.

The chief use of tame cats is to catch and kill mice and rats. Mice and small birds are the natural food of cats, which are very clever in catching them. Like their big cousins, lions and tigers, cats can see in the dark, and hunt at night: and in the night the house-cat will watch near the mouse-holes, and catch the mice when they come out. Mice are a great pest in the house, but a cat will soon kill them or drive them away.

Cats are very different from dogs in character. They say dogs love persons, but cats love places. A faithful dog will follow its master everywhere; but a cat loves the comfort of the house, and stays, at home. They are rather selfish animals, and think of their own comfort more than anything else. They love to sit on soft cushions by the fire, or to lie and bask in the sun. Cats are very independent, and will do nothing they do not want to do, to please anyone. Their love is what we call “cupboard love “—that is, they will be very nice to people simply for the sake of the food they give them.

Essay 1 - The Dog


OUTLINES
1.     Dogs tamed from earliest times.
2.     Many kinds of dogs.
3.     The different ways in which dogs serve men.
4.     The friend of man — the dog’s love and faithfulness.

The dog is an animal of the same family as the wolf, the jackal and the fox. But these are all still wild animals, and have never been tamed; while the dog has been the ser­vant and friend of men from the very earliest times.

There are now many kinds of dogs, from big and strong animals like mastiffs and wolf­hounds, down to the pretty lap-dogs which European ladies keep as pets.

Dogs are very clever animals, and can be trained to do all kinds of useful work. Some kinds of dogs make good watch-dogs, and guard houses against thieves. In cold coun­tries, one kind of dog is taught to drag sledges over the snow. The famous St. Bernard dogs are trained to search for travellers lost in the snow on the Alps and guide people to save them. Many kinds are used in hunting; some, like fox-hounds, because of their keen sense of smell, and some because of their speed and keen sight, like grey-hounds, and deer-hounds. In the Great War, many dogs were used to carry messages during a battle to the troops. The cleverest kind of dog is the sheep-dog, that understands its master’s words and signs, and can look after a flock of sheep almost as well as the shepherd himself.

The dog has been called the friend of man. Many owners of dogs feel they are real com­panions. This is not only because dogs are cleverer than most other animals, but because, when they are treated with kindness, they are so loving and faithful. They will follow their masters everywhere, and will often defend them at the cost of their own lives. Some dogs have loved their masters so much that when their masters died, they have died them­selves of grief. In the town of Edinburgh in Scotland, there is a monument to such a faith­ful dog. When its master died and was buried, it refused to leave its master’s grave or to eat any food. It lay on the grave day and night, and at last died of sorrow and lack of food. So the people put up a statue of the little dog, to remind everyone of its faithful­ness. Its name was Bobbie, and as its master was buried in a cemetery called Grey Friars, the dog was called “Grey Friars’ Bobbie “.
