A: I’m so afraid of snakes
B: Why?
A: They are slimy and they look like they are going to bite!
B: Really?
A: Yes! And they seem like they are poisonous! So I want to stay away from them.
B: Well, first of all, snakes are not shiny, buddy. They have scales on their skin, and the scales are shiny!
A: Really? Well they are still mean.
B: Snakes are more scared of humans than we are of them. You should know that.
A: Okay. I’ll consider it.
