How do they find out with the experiments?''..one way they can find out a whole lot is to make an animal ill and then try different ways to make it better until they find one that works.''

When the man was disgraced and told to go away, he was allowed to ask all the animals whether any of them would come with him and share his fortunes and his life. There were only two who agreed to come entirely of their own accord, and they were the dog and the cat. And ever since then, those two have been jealous of each other, and each is for ever trying to make man choose which one he likes best. Every man prefers one or the other. .Richard Adams

Once the moon gets to be full somebody - some man or other - goes up every day and slices bits of one side until there isn't any more, and then after a bit a new one grows. Men do that with all sorts of things, actually - rose bushes for instance.. The man who slices the bits off brings them down here and then they're used for making those lights on the cars. Clever isn't it.. They only last about one night, I should think, because you hardly ever see them shining by day.Richard Adams
