[Footnote:] To give the Beaver his due, he does things because he has to do them, not because he believes that hard work per se will somehow make him a better Beaver -- the Beaver may be dumb, but he is not that dumb! The Beaver was made to gnaw, and gnaw he does. There you have him in a nutshell.

The Zebra is striped all over so that the Lion can see him and eat him. Some people say he is striped so that the Lion can not see him.
