Why do you think the otter was not friendly at first with the narrator ? Can you relate this human nature as well?
Answers
ANSWER
_________
At first, the otter was not friendly with the narrator as he had seen him for the first time. He was brought to a new place and new surroundings. He neither knew the narrator nor the place which made him stay aloof and indifferent. But, as soon as he started becoming comfortable with the surroundings, he became friendly and came close to the narrator, This is very similar to the human nature, as it is not easy to mix with others easily. You have to know their nature first. Even, the human beings first take time to understand others. Then only they become friendly with them. Unless they are comfortable in being with somebody, they try to stay away from that person. So it can be said that the otter almost behaved like humans.
