Here's a crossword my nephew was given at school yesterday.
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/4Xo1/28rPswDMM
I've run out of ideas. First, I thought of action verbs (like run, fly) that we usually associate with each animal. Ok. A parrot usually flies, and it doesn't fit the 5-letter line.
Then, I thought they wanted to elicit the sounds the animals produce. OK. A tiger - roar, a bear - roar? I faild to find the word for parrots _r_ _ _. They do not tweet or chitter.
Finally, I decided to use the verbs that describe the actions which each animal would usually do at the circus. And I managed to get:
Parrots can speak.
Bears can dance.
Tigers can jump.
Dogs can sing (However, I never saw dogs sing at the circus).
A-a-and? What can monkeys do? _ _ a _ . I can only think of "climb".
I give up :))

Umm. Well. It seems your answer, whatever it is, should be child-friendly at least.
You are not supposed to use such words here. Some gullible Леньяs may catch it and... their daughter's language will be on your consciense)

The phrase “in (the) future” has two meanings. When it means “at a future point in time”, it is used with the definite article:
correct I would like to move to Spain in the future.
wrong I would like to move to Spain in future.
However, when it means “from now on”, there is a divide between American English and British English. An American would still say “in the future”, as in the previous case, whereas a Brit would likely say “in future” (with no article). Thus, “from now on, please, be more careful” could be rephrased as
In future, please, be more careful. (British English)
In the future, please, be more careful. (American English)
If you speak American English, you don’t have to care about the distinction. However, if you speak British English, using “in future” instead of “in the future” can completely change the meaning of a sentence. Compare...
