Answer 1

Answer:

In both stories, animals show their gratitude after people help them with magic."

Explanation:

While this statement is not entirely accurate, it does capture the idea that both stories involve animals showing gratitude for the kindness shown to them by humans or magical beings. However, the first statement is incorrect as it mentions magical people, which is not present in "The First Flying Squirrel". The third statement is also not accurate as animals do not teach people how to show gratitude. The fourth statement is not relevant to the stories, as it does not describe what happens due to a lack of gratitude.
