Can you something?

Yes, hypothetically you can shove anything. However, the results of said shoving will vary based on what is being shoved. For example, if I shove a flat screen TV, for whatever reason (perhaps the Futurama Marathon just ended), it would submissively fall and probably break! However, if I were to shove a building, such as my house, nothing would really happen. Unless the house was victim to serious structural flaw.

What do animals do when in danger?

Most try to flee from the danger but some will send warning signs not to get any closer like the distinctive rattling a rattle snake makes with it's tail when threatened. Others will posture, growl, bare their teeth and show other defensive behaviors in an attempt to deter the danger. Still others will act submissively, if the danger is posed by a member of their own species, or some, like the opossum, will play dead in order to deter the threat.

Here with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come we see him acknowledge that there are lessons to be learned and has already started to understand. In that respect Scrooge continues "To-night, if you have aught to teach me, let me profit by it". Meaning If there are more lessons then let me benefit from understanding them
