sense in the lessons

Interpretation: Tradition reads it as warning against stubborn, selfish people who cut themselves off from others and attack good sense. In the primary lessons: In stories "snarled" is a strong speech verb that shows anger instead of "said". In nature lessons it describes warning signs of dogs, wolves and big cats: back away slowly. In everyday life, hair snarls and traffic snarl-ups. Phrases: "snarl at someone", "snarl up", "a snarl of wires", "traffic snarl".
