Bears in the mountains, sharks in the sea, poisonous snakes (Mamushi) in the grass, poisonous bees (Suzumebachi) in the bush. We can see beasts in zoos. 　 8. Is it true that you eat frogs and snakes but not dogs? The students and I are in doubt. You are right. There are some misunderstandings in our students' answers. We do not eat frogs, snakes, dogs and escargots in everyday life. In the old days though, about 100 years ago, it is probably true that people ate dogs when they did not have much harvest and much food.
