Chapter 379

• The method of instruction was unlike I'd experienced on Earth. I sat in a circle with my family and we talked. It was my job to teach them about animals in the forest. I had access to a pad so I could show them pictures of the things I talked about. I made up stories about the animals to keep the boy's attention. They were expected to answer questions after I was done.
• I had to puff with a little pride when several men settled their boys behind mine. My imaginative stories captured the attention of my audience. The lessons were interesting and they picked up the facts quickly. It felt good to be someone the other men trusted their young with.
• Rose was doing something similar with her young boys. Edas and his family were learning their colors today. Rose used her pad to help the boys learn the colors of the things in the forest. While she was at it she also taught them the names of things. The young ones picked it up with ease.
