उत्तर
- Hippo: Really, my foot! I'm walking so slowly because I'm feeling ill, and I do not know which part of this huge body is actually paining. You, tortoise, have such a small body. Not much searching is needed to find out the cause of the problem.
- Tortoise: Problem! I only want to be able to move quickly, so that I can escape my enemies, and exercise my limbs.
- Giraffe: I agree with madam hippo. The bigger the body, the more the area that has to be investigated to find out the problem. My doctor is never able to find out which part of my neck actually aches.
- Kangaroo: Try balancing yourself on legs of unequal length and having to jump all the time, keeping your baby in your pouch.
