The Goat Of Every Picnic Keeps The Suffering Going
A playful narrator recalls being the youngest and hating picnics. He describes the repeated role of the goat who hauls gear, gathers firewood, builds the fire, and ends up cooking and taking leftovers, while others roam or enjoy lighter tasks on a hot picnic day.
Our Children By Angelo Patri
Children quarrel across ages and settings with causes as varied as personality. Early on, younger kids grab with toys, older ones use fists, and the oldest rely on words. Discipline via separation, no striking, and consistent rules aim to reduce conflict until children become more adult in mind and body.
