27、d animals found. “No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening,” H.D.

44、ut much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, even from birth and people continue to learn throughout their lives. Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about
