In 1974, author Robert McCloskey wrote a children’s book entitled, “Was It the Farmer or the Dog Named Bingo?” The story follows a dog named Bingo who goes on a journey to find out which animal caused an agricultural accident. Throughout the course of the book, Bingo encounters many different animals and learns their unique ways of life. In the end, Bingo determines that it was the farmer who caused the accident and not the dog named Bingo. This story is a great example of how different animals can have a profound impact on each other’s lives.
The farmer in this story was careless and caused an agricultural accident, but the dog named Bingo helped to teach him a valuable lesson. This story is also an excellent example of how storytelling can be used to teach children about life and its complexities.
