community?

5. Let me give you a situation. Your
family visits the zoo. Your younger

you do?
As an older sibling, I’ll tell my younger
brother that lion is a dangerous animal
because it can hurt you by its claws and
sharp teeth. So, we should keep away
from them and be careful enough not to
harm us. But still, no matter how
dangerous they are, we should still care
for them.
