What Do They Say?
1. Look at these pictures and read what these animals are sharing with their friends. Discuss these narratives sensitively in the class.
(a) You have read what these animals say. Why do you think that some of them are sad?
Ans: Some of the animals are sad because they are not treated well by humans. They are kept in cages, forced to perform tricks, or made to work hard. They miss their freedom and their families in the wild.
(b) How do you think they are different – the monkeys that dance to entertain people and the monkeys that are free?
Ans: The monkeys that dance to entertain people are often trained in cruel ways. They are kept in chains and made to perform, which makes them unhappy. On the other hand, monkeys that are free live in the forests, play with their friends, climb trees, and enjoy their natural habitat. They are much happier and healthier.
How many legs does this elephant have?
Ans: The elephant has four legs. However, sometimes pictures or drawings may create an illusion that makes it look like the elephant has more legs. This is a trick to confuse our eyes.
