The c_ _ _ _ _ _ _ of ancient civilizations were not very different from the young of today.  Archaeological findings have r_ _ _ _ _ _ _ many of the activities of young during the a_ _ _ _ _ _ period.  For example, the Mohenjoparo civilizations which e_ _ _ _ _ _ from 2500 - 1500 BC saw the need to m_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ toys for their children.

All sort of t_ _ _, including Window based computers, were d_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ when historians dug to find out the kind of life ancient p_ _ _ _ _ led.  There were objects like a_ _ _ _ _ _ with heads joined and little w_ _ _ _ _ with wheels that turn when drawn by toy oxen.  Children from ancient c_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ of Babylon, Athens and Rome played just as much.  Greek children knew how to fly k_ _ _ _ and girls played with d_ _ _ _.

In ancient Egypt, it was very c_ _ _ _ _ to die at a young age.  So parents used to b_ _ _ toys with their children.  Archaeologists have come across g_ _ _ _ numbers of toys usually in the form of animals, that were made with ivory, wood and terracotta or cloth.  They also discovered that children went to s_ _ _ _ _  and studied.

Throughout h_ _ _ _ _ _, society has made provisions for the e_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ of children.  For example, during the Babylonian times, young boys who learned to become p_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ writers had to go to s_ _ _ _ _ in temples.  Athens and Rome had f_ _ _ _ _ schools comparable to modern u_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

In America, there is a ranch with strictly no males a_ _ _ _ _ _.  During the summer m_ _ _ _ _, people from all p_ _ _ _ of America go to the r_ _ _ _ to stay and learn something they have never done b_ _ _ _ _.

What is so s_ _ _ _ _ _ about this ranch?  The campers are required to do all the things t_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.  These jobs include mending the f_ _ _ _ _, chasing the cattle and all the c_ _ _ _ _ that are normally done by m_ _ _ _ .

When asked about the p_ _ _ _ _ _ of setting up this r_ _ _ _, the o_ _ _ _, Mrs. Towner, said that the wives are always put down by their h_ _ _ _ _ _ _ when it comes to h_ _ _ _  d_ _ _ chores.  Mrs. Towner also said that this ranch p_ _ _ _ _ _ _ the campers with the chance to do certain chores that they had never done before.

Since the o_ _ _ _ _ _ of the ranch, the response has been very good.  The c_ _ _ _ _ _ do not mind the d_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ chores that would normally tire them out.  One camper, Mrs. Olivia, who lives in Texas said that she had always wanted to learn how to h_ _ _ for game but her husband did not have the time to teach her.  Thus, she would end up p_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ meals and making c_ _ _ _ _ in the tent.

Most of the campers i_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ said that they never regretted coming to the ranch and they e_ _ _ _ _ _ themselves thoroughly.
