Scary things in the world: news, strangers, war and what-ifs, sentence 7
Never get into a car with a stranger; running away and telling a grown-up straight away is right, and "trust your gut" means trust the feeling that something is wrong.
Who acts: you, running, means, something · What happens: not get, run away, tell, be, trust · To what, where: car, grown, gut, feeling · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Scary things in the world: news, strangers, war and what-ifs» of the reflection course of Mova's primary school.
