People don't notice these things and don't think about them as a rule, and when you begin to think it out you begin to see what a wonderful work it is of God's, who made all these different animals in their own form, all alike, and yet so different from the other kind of animals, fishes, or birds. You begin to realise then what a wonderful Creator has made the world and all that is in it.
