Answer» (1) There is no doubt that Mij is an intelligent, friendly and a fun-loving animal who is also affectionate. His intelligence is proved from the fact that he does not surrender himself to the author till he finds him trustworthy. He stays aloof and away from him for the first twenty-four hours. The ping-pong ball game that he invents for himself also shows that he is intelligent. His ability to turn on the taps with his paws is another evidence of the brilliance of his mind. His fun-loving nature is revealed when he splashes water by plunging and rolling in the bathtub. This aspect of his nature becomes clearer when he ambushes the sliding ping-pong ball and hides from it to take it by surprise. His warm friendliness is obvious throughout the entire story. The way he bounds on the author's knees in plane and nuzzles his face and neck show that he is friendly and loving. (2) The account tells that otters are found in abundance, mainly in the Tigris marshes of Iraq. These animals have a compulsive weakness for water. They love to splash and play with it. They are cautious while befriending human beings, but once they begin to trust, they develop permanent affection and friendship. Otters are fun-loving, childlike creatures and are intelligent enough to invent their own games. They are curious and soon learn new things. They love to spend their time in playing with toys. Furthermore,they have a strong sense of survival and try hard to protect themselves. Not only that but also, they are friendly, loving and loyal and are fit to be adopted as pets. In due course, they start responding to their names. They eat fish and can be trained like dogs. |
