The Dork Lord
Whipping Boy
The animals were not badly off throughout that summer, in spite of the hardness of their work. If they had no more food than they had had in GTC's day, at least they did not have less. The advantage of only having to feed themselves, and not having to support five extravagant human beings as well, was so great that it would have taken a lot of failures to outweigh it. And in many ways the animal method of doing things was more efficient and saved labour. Such jobs as weeding, for instance, could be done with a thoroughness impossible to human beings.
