something in the distance is dangerous, because Sonam will immediately want to know what it is, who lives there, whether there's a road to it, and—most importantly—whether they can go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually the answer to the last question is:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Not today.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonam considers \u003cem\u003enot
