The Curious Cat and the Dangerous Dog

Once upon a time, there was a curious cat 🐱. “Curious” means the cat is full of curiosity – she always wants to know more.

Next door lived a dangerous dog 🐶. “Dangerous” means full of danger – he was not safe to play with.

The cat learned something new that day:

• Words with -ious or -ous often mean full of something.

• Curious = full of curiosity.

• Dangerous = full of danger.

So whenever you see -ious or -ous, remember: the word is telling you that someone or something is full of that quality! 🌟
