A NEW SUBJECT FOR ANIMAL SCHOOLING, FESTIVAL OF ELEGANCE ———————————————–
It was a friday afternoon. Reni, Elon, Fyfy a pig and Trolly a dog met in the park to discus how we spends the weekend.
As they sat on their favorite bench next to the swan pond , they observed a beatiful phenomenon. Two charming ladies sat on a bench nearby. Both were extremely elegantly dressed.
The older, gray, small body was wearing a classic black and white plaid costume.A white blouse with a jabot protruded from under the jacket.The lady had white gloves, a purse and shoes and a hat tied with a black ribbon.
The younger woman, quite plump, was dressed in a loose long,red dresss with numerous frills. On her red hair, she wore a large whitwe hat with red ribbons.She also wore red high-heeled shoes, red gloves and a cute little red purse.
After a while, the ladies talking to each other were approached by a tall, slim gentelman, also dressed very elegantly in a gray suit.This gentelman bowed to the ladies, lifting the hat he had on his head and handed both ladies a small bundle of flowers.The ladies got up and all three went slowly somewhere.
Children looked at these people with delioght and animals absorbed their subtle fragnance.
Reni shouted to the swans:”Let someone follow these people and see where they are going !”
Young swam Jack flewand after few minutes he came back and reported in his squeaky voice; “These nice people not far from where got into a car and drove away.Their car was old-fashioned, had tinted windows, was ingolden brownandhad the logo of the cross as brand. on the licence plate of the car there were more local sings”.
“We saw the truest elegance”, Elon said: “What a pity tha this is a rather rare phenomenon !”
After returning home, Reni searches everything on her computer under the slogan “elegance”. She read that elegance is good taste, discret nobility and charm in clothing, hidinhg and lifestyle.
The next day it rained heavily andwe had to stay home. Reni told her mother about meeting in the park of very elegant people and bout the terms of the concept “elegance” that she read on the computer.
Mother asked: “And do you know what a savoir vivre is? It is a French term for a list of good manners which are the essense of elegance. Thisis not only how to dress approprately for the occasion, but how to behave in different social situations. For example, how to eat elegantly, how to be polite, discret,kind and loyal,respect other people’s personal dignity. For example,one should not swear,not spit, not push , not gossip. Savoir vivre helps us to learn in detail how to be a cultured and polite person in contacts with other people.”
Reni said to Mom: “What a pity that almost no one teches us in school, and they donot learn this animal at all !”
Mom responsible : “I have an idea. We will ask Mr.Jeremy to introduce savoir vivre and elegancde to animal school. I will call Mrs. Susy and Mrs.Kitty in a moment and we will arrange a joint visit with Mr.Jeremy. ”
Already in the afternoon al three ladies and Reni were sitting in Mr. Jeremy’s office.
Mr.Jeremy was delighted with the idea .Everyone was talking loudly abouthow to teach animals with the elegant and savoir vivre.This conversation was like the proverbial brainstorming !
*****
Already the following week, a nev subject was introduced at animal’s school, which was called :Elegance.
Lessons in learning elegance were very popular.There was a lot of laughter, a little shame,
Imagine learning to walk animals trougha narrow corridor without pushing yourself, letting sick and pregnant animals, smaller before larger
Imagine learning different animals toeat and drink without dirtying tablecloths and splashing, without a loud grunting, with the use of spoons and forks, plates and cups.
Imagine learning different animals thorough washing and beatiful dressing.
And then theanimals learned to speak politely,without using ugly wordsand ugly names.
And there were even dance lessons.
And there were lessons howto apologize to someone you have an affar with and repair the harm caused.
How to show respect or gratitude.
How to be caring and helpful towards weaker.
How no to be lied to, beaten, humilated, be able to defend yourself.
And there were even lessons on how to behavewhen you’re in love.
