Creature languages, 1/16, period 4

There is no spider or other animal in view today as Dream stands to address the class.

"Hello. I hope you all enjoyed speaking with Aunt Nancy last week. That was an attempt to acclimate you to the kind of experiences you will have in class.

She told me, by the way, that she quite enjoyed your questions. And she thanks Mr. Gavin for the coffee.

Today, I want you to take a step back from this subject and recognize something you already know: humans can speak Creature languages, at least on a primitive level. Think about the near-telepathy you might have experienced with a pet, for example. Or a time when you knew an anumal was dangerous. Even if it did not say "I would like to bite you," odds are you could tell what it was thinking.

Creature languages is really just about taking that intuitive communication and expanding it a level, so you can converse as readily with, say, a garden slug as you can with your pet cat, and so you can communicate more complex messages across the species barrier. It is physical and emotional as well as vocal, and I trust you will keep that in mind.

In class today, I want you to write a paragraph discussing a time when you feel you communicated with an animal."

I suppose you could chat with Mr. Neilson all you like about the many ways I try to communicate with him and he understands but ignores me. Not all animals do however, and I generally find them very playful. Like the time I went on a picnic with my friends Tommy and Annika (they are people you know); Mr. Neilson wandered off (of course, because I told him not to) and we split up to look for him. Tommy met a bull who wanted to play, but bulls play rough and Tommy was wearing his good white suit. So I had a chat with the bull and gave him some fashion advise, but all he wanted to do was play (http://www.livejournal.com/users/strongestgirl/8271.htm). You wouldn't believe how that bull could tickle! Then he indicated that it was his naptime, so I left him alone after that.
