Description
Photograph of four African shepherd boys riding a mule. In the background cattle can be seen. Handwriting on the back reading: "Die kleinen Hirten wachsen mit dem Vieh auf. Sie verstehen großartig auch mit den großen Viehherden fertig zu werden. Sie hüten den ganzen Tag. Um nicht immer die Schule zu versäumen wechseln sie sich ab. Der Schulbesuch ist freiwillig." ("The shepherd boys grow up with the cattle. They know splendidly to cope with the large cattle herds. They tend them the whole day. In order not to miss school all the time they are taking turns. School attendance is optional."
