Wise, Calm, and Attentive.

That way, the snake could slither out of the room and on to the veranda while everyone is still. This was a wise move because if he didn't, everyone would start screaming and the cobra would strike.]]> 2016-09-23 14:06:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kdeis/7jzblxlf9ruk/wish/126017988 kdeis https://padlet.com/kdeis/7jzblxlf9ruk/wish/126068077 The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests.
He stays out of the argument and keeps his opinion to himself so it doesn't turn into a bigger fight. In the story, it doesn't actually say the American Naturalist's opinion on the matter. We don't know whether he thinks girls or boys have more control. But we do know that he is calm and he might not even care which one has more control.]]> 2016-09-23 16:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kdeis/7jzblxlf9ruk/wish/126068077 kdeis https://padlet.com/kdeis/7jzblxlf9ruk/wish/126070409 His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He is about to warn the others but has control and stays attentive by coming up with a better idea. The naturalist stays attentive when he doesn't join the argument and now, when he decided that telling the guest only put them in danger.]]> 2016-09-23 16:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kdeis/7jzblxlf9ruk/wish/126070409 kdeis https://padlet.com/kdeis/7jzblxlf9ruk/wish/126944564 2016-09-28 13:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kdeis/7jzblxlf9ruk/wish/126944564
