FOR CHILDREN

The colt

[Original in Spanish]

One morning Juan and Romulo got up earlier than usual to see if their father's favorite mare had dropped her foal. Before they got to the corral, the foreman caught up with them and said, "Mara had a colt last night, but he's very weak and won't live."

Juan, the smaller boy, said: "I think you must be wrong. You know God really makes everything good, including His creatures. And God doesn't make sickness."

The foreman went on: "He was born hours ago, but he can't get on his legs to nurse; they aren't strong enough. In cases like this, the foals always die."
