If I could instantly master any skill, I would want the ability to talk to animals and with any and every creature on earth.
Not only would I love to understand what they are thinking, but I would also love for animals to trust me the way they trusted Snow White. Imagine walking through a forest and having birds land on your shoulders, squirrels follow beside you, and deer approach without fear. I think it would feel like stepping into a fairy tale.
I have always loved animals and often wonder what they are trying to tell us. I would love to know what makes them happy, what they are afraid of, and what they think about the people in their lives. Of course, the first conversations I would have would be with my dog Roxy and my cat Cookie. I am sure they would have plenty to say. Cookie, she would probably spend the entire conversation telling me that her food bowl is empty when it’s actually still half full. Roxy, would ask to go on more outdoor adventures and tell me of all the places she enjoyed going to the most.
Maybe they would tell me their favorite treats, complain about bath time with my mom, or share all the secrets they have been keeping. Whatever they had to say, I would listen.
The world can be a busy and noisy place, but animals seem to have a way of reminding us to slow down and appreciate the simple things. If I could master any skill, I think being able to talk to animals would make life feel a little more magical and a little happier.
