The word Animals was often used to describe someone uneducated or clumsy, someone who didn't fit in.
"Where are the visitors from?" Father asked
Frowning slightly "I can't remember, it was from another community. They had to leave early, and they had their midday meal on the bus"
Mother nodded "Do you think it's possible that their rules may be different? And so simply didn't know what the play area rules were?
Shrugging my shoulders "I suppose"
"You visited other communities, haven't you?" Father asked
Nodding my head "When we were sixes, we went and shared a whole School day with a group of sixes in their community"
"How did you feel when you were there?" Mother asked
"I felt strange because their methods were different. They were learning usages that my group haven't learned yet, so we felt stupid"
Father was listening with interest "I'm thinking Lily, about the boy who didn't obey the rules today. Do you think it's possible that he felt strange and stupid, being in a new place with rules that he didn't know about?"
"Yes" I pondered "I feel sorry for him, even though I don't know him. I feel sorry for anyone who is in a place where he feels strange and stupid" now coming to terms with it.
"How do you feel now Lily, still angry?"
