First, I learned that learning about different styles of baths can help us learn about the world. This is useful, because it can increase our knowledge about how the world works. In the story, elephants spray water over their back to take a bath, and pigs soak in mud to take a bath, etc. These things are details we didn’t know before. Before we didn’t know that elephants spray water over their back to take a bath and that pigs soak in mud to take a bath, but now we know how they take baths and that animals take baths in unusual ways. So, having more knowledge about the world can answer questions we might have had.


Secondly, I learned some animals have symbiosis with other animals too. Animals need things to survive too, for example, food, so sometimes they ask other animals to give them the things they need, and they give the other animals something in return. In the story, shrimps clean eels’ teeth, while the eel gives the shrimp a dinner, etc. The eel gets clean and will attract less germs, while the shrimp gets a free dinner and won’t die of hunger. So, sometimes animals need to use win-win agreements to get what they need and want in order to survive.


In conclusion, this story teaches us that we can learn more about different styles of baths to learn more about the world and how animals use win-win situations to get what they need and want. We must learn about the world, because if all the plants and animals disappear from Earth, then the environment won’t be suitable for us, so we must learn more about how the world works to prevent animals and plants from going extinct.
