I think communicating with animals depends on how long you have spent time with them. As animals don't know our language and we don't know their language, they still do some particular actions to tell us about a particular thing. We understand each other's emotions and what we are trying to say.
An animal's soul is not different from our soul. Their souls don't allow them to speak like us, but they feel the same, even though they have more powerful senses. Every living being has feelings on Earth. Animals are one of the important parts of the ecosystem. We all live together with almost the same feelings and emotions, and live just like a society.
Khyati Madeshia, 9th E
Sunbeam Bhagwanpur
Everything in the world that is natural has its own way to express emotions and feelings. Humans express through words and actions, and so do animals. They produce some sound or radiate some energy to another, or they perform certain acts to other mates. Personally, I've never had a good experience with animals, but I've heard my mother talk about them. When she was a kid, her grandmother used to have a cow and it had a baby calf. My mother, along with her siblings and cousins, used to play with the calf, and it also enjoyed as much as my mother did.

Souls are those feelings and energy existing in a living body which urge it to be free from the chakra of life. Souls may have different characters but have the same aims. Animals are one of us, created by God, but were not provided speech, which made a big difference between us humans and animals. These animals are innocent and want human support despite harassment and cruelty. Animals also have sympathy and empathy just as humans, but a lot of humans use them as a key to money. Some make them pets, and some pathetically enjoy harassing them. We humans are special; we should help them instead of using them.
Rishima Rastogi, 9th J
Sunbeam Bhagwanpur
Everyone has a soul. Animals, birds, and human beings have feelings and emotions. People say a soul never dies; it only changes from one body to different living beings.
Animals have feelings and emotions. When we have a pet, it sometimes becomes attached to us. They start feeling safe and comfortable with us.
Amie SriRam, 9th B

Today's session was led by Manisha Mam, who told us about "The Whistling Schoolboy" by Rustin Bond.
How do animals communicate with humans?
Animals and humans connect or communicate with each other through bonds, for example: when we are coming from the office to home or from school, the dog starts jumping or running towards us because of a relationship built over one year.
The story of The Whistling Schoolboy was mysterious and suspenseful, and people think about who that boy was who was whistling and why.

Today's session with Manisha Mam was a blend of fun and learning. We read a story, The Inner Life of Animals, which changed my whole thinking about the soul. Everybody possesses a soul and feelings—humans, animals, and birds. Souls change from one body to another. Animals also have feelings; we should make them friends and make them our pets, care for them instead of embarrassing them.
Darshi Baranwal, 9 G
Sunbeam Bhagwanpur
Today's session was special. It made me realise that everyone might have different perceptions of viewing the world, but after all, we are living beings who breathe the same air and share the Earth, and ironically, we will all meet the same end called death. Today, I got to know that the soul may not be defined, and interestingly, its perception may vary from one person to another, but the common ideology we share is that the soul is the very essence of life. It is not static and keeps moving from one body to another, whether a human being or any living entity, connecting the universe and rejuvenating the cycle of life.
To conclude, I argue that we should treat everyone with all the kindness we have because we never know how it will come back to us in some form and will make our and others' day happy too. Hence, humans and animals sustain life, and that is why we have an existing idea called the ecosystem.
