Actually, the answer to #4 is:
You shouldn't be crossing the river right now. Since you are an animal, you should be at the Lion King's meeting.

I think the suggested answer for the second question ("Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe put in the elephant and close the door") is wrong since the question doesn't say the elephant must be the only animal in the refrigerator.
At the bus station, buses stop. At the train station, trains stop. At my desk, I have a work station.

What if the Lion King is holding his animal meeting in the refrigerator?
