"Kawan-kawan, "katanya," inilah titik yang harus diselesaikan. Makhluk liar, seperti tikus dan kelinci - apakah mereka teman atau musuh kita? Mari kita berikan suara. Saya mengajukan pertanyaan ini ke pertemuan itu: Apakah kawan tikus? "Pemungutan suara diambil sekaligus, dan disetujui oleh mayoritas besar bahwa tikus adalah kawan. Hanya ada empat pembangkang, tiga anjing dan kucing, yang kemudian ditemukan untuk memilih di kedua sisi."

Comrades," he said, "here is a point that must be settled. The wild creatures, such as rats and rabbits–are they our friends or our enemies? Let us put it to the vote. I propose this question to the meeting: Are rats comrades?" The vote was taken at once, and it was agreed by an overwhelming majority that rats were comrades. There were only four dissentients, the three dogs and the cat, who was afterwards discovered to have voted on both sides.
