Continuing our Topical Journey, we leave “Family” behind, and dedicate this issue to “Friends and Friendship” including stories, lesson plans and useful materials for teaching and studying. The next part of our journey will be devoted to education and schooling.
A Man and His Dog
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of the long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother of pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at the desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, “Excuse me, where are we?”
“This is Heaven, sir,” the man answered.
“Wow! Would you happen to have some water?” the man asked.
“Of course, sir. Come right in and I’ll have some ice water brought right up.”The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
“Can my friend,” gesturing toward his dog, “come in too?” the traveler asked.
“I’m sorry sir, but we don’t accept pets.”
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
“Excuse me!” he called to the reader. “Do you have any water?”
“Yeah, sure. There’s a pump over there.” The man pointed to a place that couldn’t be seen from outside the gate. “Come on in.”
“How about my friend here?” the traveler gestured to the dog.
“There should be a bowl by the pump.”
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink himself. Then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree waiting for them.
“What do you call this place?” the traveler asked. “This is Heaven,” was the answer.
“Well, that’s confusing,” the traveler said. “The man down the road said that was Heaven too.”
“Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That’s Hell.”
“Doesn’t it make you mad for them to use your name like that?”
“No. I can see how you might think so, but we’re just happy that they screen out the folks who’ll leave their best friends behind.”
NEWS IN BRIEF
MORE SUPPORT
FOR ADOPTING PARENTS
Parents adopting children in England are to be given extra support and a “more active role” in the adoption process, says the government.
Ministers want more adoptive parents to come forward to increase the number and speed of adoptions. The plan would let approved would-be parents see the register of children waiting to be adopted. The British Association for Adoption and Fostering “warmly welcomed” the proposed changes.
The number of children approved for adoption rose from 3,000 in 2010 to more than 4,000 in 2012, government figures show. But there are still about 4,000 in care waiting to be matched with prospective parents.
Children’s minister Edward Timpson said up to 25,000 people asked about adopting each year, but thousands ended up being deterred by the process and the delays.It could take years just to get approved as a prospective adopter while children remained in care, waiting for adoption, he said.
Labour’s spokeswoman for children and young people, Lisa Nandy, said: “More does need to be done to enable adoptive families to get the right amount of support and advice, especially post-adoption. But the government must ensure it also provides sufficient support for foster families and children in residential care too.”
Ministers want to encourage more people to come forward and consider adoption, but say the assessment process for would-be adopters will remain rigorous.
The changes to the system will mean people approved as adopters will be able to consult a version of the adoption register for information on children and young people waiting for adoption.
The plan will also give prospective adopters a legal right to take time off work to meet children they are due to adopt, while parents of two-year-old adopted children will be given 15 hours a week free nursery care.
Ministers also plan to pilot personal support budgets for adoptive parents. They say this would allow families to decide exactly what support they need - for example, parenting classes. A two-year trial will begin in some areas in April 2013.
There will also be financial support for “adoption activity days” – where prospective adoptive parents can meet children waiting for adoption.
The plans follow other measures to improve the adoption process already in the pipeline, such as allowing adoptive parents as much maternity and paternity leave as biological parents plus a telephone helpline and website.
