Advice Box
Part I
- I'm not good at talking to others. I can talk to birds,
horses, and other animals just fine, but when it comes
to people, I freeze up.
- Try pretending the person you're talking to is a horse.
- There's no need to force yourself to talk to people.
- You just have to get used to it.
- I'm not good at cleaning up. I try my best, but before I
know it, everything's messy again.
- Cleaning is easy when you have a plan of attack.
- Don't panic and just get to cleaning.
- We all have things we're good at. This isn't one of yours.
Part II
- My dear friend has been behaving strangely. He doesn't
seem to have much of an appetite, and he's been neighing
less often. I'm afraid he may be sick.
- You should seek out an expert opinion, just to be safe.
- You should watch over him nonstop until he improves.
- Give him some nutritious hay.
- I want to be helpful, but I lack the self-confidence to do so.
It is OK for someone like me to be here, or should I leave?
- You should stay. You're more helpful than you realize.
- It's enough that you want to help, even if you can't.
- That's up to you. Give it some thought.
