TERRIBLE THINGS. Of all the animals in the forest, which was the wisest? Explain.

Why didn’t the animals in the woods band together to resist the Terrible Things?

Answer and Explanation:

1. The wisest was the little rabbit because he questioned the reason for the terrible things to be happening and tried to call attention to something that would save him and the other animals, because he understood that one day, the terrible things they would go after the rabbits, if nobody did anything.

2. Animals were very afraid of terrible things and didn't care about them if they weren't happening to them, however, when those terrible things worked on a small group of animals, they didn't have the strength to fight them alone.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
