The Truce at Christmas

In World War 1, (WW1) more than 44,000 died. Of these 2,701 were New Zealanders. World War 1 was a fight between Germany and the Allies. On Germany's Side were the countries Austria, Hungry, Turkey plus the Middle East and Bulgaria. The Allies included Britain, France, Russia, Italy, New Zealand, Australia and the United States of America.

World War 1 started 1 August 1914 and ended 11 November 1918  however on Christmas Day 1914 both sides agreed to stop fighting.  It was the Truce at Christmas.  Pope
Benedict XV (15th) had first suggested a ‘Truce of God’ in early December.  

So on Christmas Eve, when Germany traditionally celebrated Christmas, there were candles and trees seen up along parts of the German line.  On Christmas Day along some parts of the Western Front, the soldiers came out of the trenches from both sides exchanged gifts, took photos and played a game of football.  It was also a chance for them to look  after their dead and wounded in No-Man’s land between the two sides.

Why Dogs are better than Cats


Dogs are better pets than cats! Does a cat ever run out to meet you when you get home from work? No I didn’t think so. Most cats’ meow and come to see you only when they want food. This is not a loving pet’s response.

Dogs are always more responsive to humans than cats. When you get home from work your dog will be happy to see you and will show you this by running up and licking you or jumping up to you. A dog also knows when you are sad, they often come up and try to comfort you. If you are crying, they will put their paw on you as if to say ‘it will be ok’.   Cats don’t care.

Cats don't show more affection than dogs. Cats will turn their back on you when you call them for a cuddle.  They decide whether or not they will come. With a dog though you can call them and they will come running for attention and love without thinking twice.

I think dogs are way better than cats because when a dog comes running to greet you after a long day at school, you know you are loved. A cat would most likely turn their back on you and decide to clean themselves and basically ignore you.

Dogs will wake you up if the house is on fire. Cats will quietly sneak out the back door.Dogs will turn their heads and try to understand every word you are saying. Cats will ignore you and have a nap instead. I can see love in my dog's eyes while my cat lies on the stairs waiting to bite my ankles as I walk past. So that is why I believe dogs are better than cats.

What is better a Cat or a Dog

WHAT IS BETTER A CAT OR A DOG

Here are some reasons why dogs are better than cats:

  1. Dogs will tilt their heads and try to understand every word you say. Cats will ignore you and take a nap.
  2. When you come home from work, your dog will be happy and lick your face. Cats will still be mad at you for leaving in the first place.
  3. A dog knows when you're sad. And he/she will try to comfort you. Cats don't care how you feel, as long as you remember where the can opener is.
  4. Dogs will bring you your slippers. Cats will drop a dead mouse in your slippers.
  5. When you take them for a ride, dogs will sit on the seat next to you. Cats have to have their own private basket, or they won't go at all.
  6. Dogs will come when you call them. And they'll be happy. Cats will have someone take a message and get back to you.
  7. Dogs will wake you up if the house is on fire. Cats will quietly sneak out the back door

Here are some reasons why cats are better than dogs:

1. Cat people are more intelligent than dog people.

2. Cats are less slobbery than dogs.

3.Cats are cheaper than dogs.

4. You do not have to pick up poop.


What are the bad things of a cat and a dog:

DOG:
  1. You have to pick up poop.
  2. They bark.
  3. They jump all over you when you are wearing good clothes
  4. They chew everything.

CAT:
  1. They only come and have a cuddly when they are hungry.
  2. They claw your furniture.
  3. They get in the way when you are trying to sleep.
  4. Tees the dogs or other animals.
  5. They rip up your homework.


Which one is better?

I did not know this so I did a tally in my class for which one is better CAT or DOG. when i went around the class 20 people picked dog and only 1 person picked cat. So that means in my class dog are better than cats.
