Gray wolf, Thinking Like a Mountain, 1949

[859] [advice-gray-wolf-2] Friday evening: write Gray wolf, 1949, and 1995 on the notebook at the children’s corner. Put “Thinking Like a Mountain” beside Gray wolf. 1949 is the second line on the notebook; 1995 is the next. Before you leave the children’s corner, reread only Gray wolf. At the picture book, say Thinking Like a Mountain and 1995 aloud.

Gray wolf sits in the field note for 1949 under “Thinking Like a Mountain”, and the figure beside it is 1995. At the end of the children’s table, check that the label and the notebook match, and correct the notebook if they do not. Do not merge a zoo birthday with the field survey. This week, keep only the field side. The return that every later cascade talk cites. At the children’s corner, open Gray wolf so the notebook shows 1949 first, 1995 next, and “Thinking Like a Mountain” beside them.

This week, before you open the animal book in the children’s corner, write only the name, the year, and the figure on the notebook, then read those three lines once and close the book. At home, leave the notebook on the shoe shelf and, the next morning, read the three lines aloud once, then shut it. The order is Gray wolf, 1949, 1995, then “Thinking Like a Mountain”. When the picture book is done, look again only at 1949 for Gray wolf and leave 1995 on the notebook.

Do not line the species up by size, danger, or popularity. If someone asks which animal is greater, read the field entry for that year again. Check the picture-book label against the notebook, and leave any ranking space blank. Do not merge a zoo birthday with the field survey. This week, keep only the field side. Match Thinking Like a Mountain with 1995 at the children’s corner before you close 1949 for Gray wolf.
