Emma: I don’t think I
want to be a vet anymore. I am afraid if someone brings in a pet snake to
me, it might bite me.
Mama: I think it’s
more likely that they’ll bring in cats and dogs. I’m not even sure how
someone would know a snake is sick.
Emma: How do you know
if a cat is sick?
Mama: A cat gets sick in much the same way
a person does. Mammals are all pretty similar. Oh, do you know what
a mammal is?
Emma: Oh, yes!
Mama: Oh,
really? Who taught it to you? I didn’t know that you knew that word.
Emma: Yep. You
taught it to me in Spanish even.
Mama: Really? I
don’t even remember how to say it in Spanish. I don’t remember learning
it in Spanish (mamífero)
Emma: Oh, yes.
It’s the animal that can go a long time without water!
Mama: Ah, those are
camels, not mammals.
