Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

I can only give some pointers, so I'll give 3 (3 pointers for 3 paragraphs):

--> I would turn into an animal as I would like to see how they live (food, family life, cleanliness, etc.)

--> I would also want to see if they are wise or not (hunting, sensing danger).

--> I would also want to become more considerate towards that animal.

Hope this helps.
