Playing With Meaning

Mariana: Ravee, the Platzi teacher said we have to present at least two interesting facts about any animal or animals we choose. ↘
Ravee: Did she really say that? ↘↗
Mariana: Trust me, I write everything down. ↗↘
Ravee: I have one! ↗ Owls don’t have eyeballs so they can’t move their eyes! ↗ That’s why they have to move their flexible necks to look around. ↘
Mariana: Everyone knows that. ↘
Ravee: Octopuses have three hearts? ↘↗
Mariana: Not good enough. ↘
Ravee: Right! Wild dolphins call each other by names. ↘ They let out a unique whistle to identify each other. ↘
Mariana: Think harder! ↘
Ravee: Okay, some penguin species propose to females by giving them a pebble. ↘ If the female accepts the pebble ↗, she uses it to build a nest ↗, and the pair bonds for life. ↘
Mariana: That’s it! ↗ Our theme will be: Ocean Love. ↘

Ravee: I like it. ↗ Can the second fact be that male seahorses are the ones to get pregnant, carrying up to 1,500 eggs in their pouch until they hatch? ↗
STUDENT A: Sure. ↗ You can do all the research and I’ll do the talking. ↗↘
STUDENT B: Can’t wait! ↗

Thank you

Both students, really wise.
