### sense in the lessons

Interpretation: God breathed the breath of life into the first man's nostrils, which tradition reads as giving him a soul. In the primary lessons: In science lessons about the body and senses: we breathe and smell through our nostrils; tiny hairs and mucus inside trap dust and germs. In animals: whales breathe through a blowhole, which is their nostril; horses flare their nostrils. Safety: never push small objects into your nostrils.

### note

Countable: a nostril, nostrils (we each have two). Spelling: «nostril» ends in «-il», not «-al». Breathing through the nose warms and cleans the air better than breathing through the mouth.
