“Chimpanzees are very intelligent animals. They can also understand

        some signs that we make. They can also work with tools sometimes

        learned that we should stay  calm in such                               that  one  gets  from  doing,
                                                                                seeing  or  feeling  things

        baby chimpanzee, you saw how we should                                  calm  not  excited,  quiet
