And sometimes do you wish they wouldn’t bother you? Perhaps you answer them shortly now and then or tell them not to be so inquisitive? Probably you have But have you ever stopped to think how terribly much a young boy or girl has to learn? Little babies don’t know much of anything By the time they go to school they have learned - simply thousands and thousands of things and they keep on learning for many years Now how else can children learn except by watching others and asking questions of older people? That’s how you had to learn And the Lessons from Paint mere fact that younger chilFor instance if I show you a dren ask youf questions can of paint and say “That is shows that they appreciate black paint” do you say “Yes it is black but why? What makes how 'much more you know do j Most Swans Don’t Sing a Swan Song j o QUESTIONS you a little is always asking you into all human beings and most wild creatures The animal or bird that sees something it cannot understand at once is always curious to find out more about it so the creature investigates with nose searching the air for smells and keen eyes and ears Until they know enough about the object concerned to get the idea that it is dangerous animals seldom run away But the instant that eyes ears or nose bring them the understanding of danger they bolt Their curiosity has brought them direct and understandable information Human beings are much the same but they are concerned with more than the idea of danger and they keep on finding out things until their curiosity is satisfied But the trouble is they are too oftep content with a little surface knowledge and don’t go into things deeply enough to learn much about them wood glued into holes in the under side of its body and holes in the top of the pier t Mounting the Vane Now rig up the support for the bearings and after making them ? glue the bearing blocks to one side of it The upper hole should be quite loose Put some hard oil in the pivot hole so it will turn easily Grease the inside of it black?
