उत्तर

Cats are stealthy and walk without making noise.
My friend Vimal/Mala is cat-like. He/She surprises me often appearing suddenly. Jackal is clever and persuades others like Ratna/Raja to work for him. Whenever a difficult assignment is given, he/she praises the gifted student and gets his/her work done. The elephant is graceful and known for its strong memory. Murugan/Neela is very gentle and has a terrific memory. One must be very cautious with such persons. Even a small hurt will be in their memory for a long.
