Fish need clean water – let us preserve our waters. There are different valuable animals living in the woods, steppes, mountains – let us preserve our woods, steppes, mountains.
A fish needs water, a bird needs air, a beast needs woods, steppe, mountains. But a man needs a home. And to protect nature means to protect a home.
When snow melted and ran down to a river in spring (we live on the Moskva River), white chickens came out on the dark hot soil all round the village.
- Stand up, Zhulka! – I commanded.
- And it came to me, my beloved young dog, white setter with lots of black spots.
- I fastened a collar and a long coiled leash with a clasp and began to train Zhulka to hunt for chickens first.
- The training is that the dog should stand and look at the chickens without seizing them. This is what we use to make the dog pointing at the hiding gamebird and stand without approaching it.
