Men are the cleverest and most dangerous animals on earth. Rats come second. Men kill their enemies, but rats have killed hundreds of millions of men. Rats carry diseases. They not only carry diseases into men’s homes, they also take men’s food. They eat 33 million tons of grain every year. That is enough grain to feed 200 million people. Rats are clever, too. They have leaders. Men try to poison them, but if their leaders tell them that food is dangerous they do not eat it. So our cities and villages are full of rats.
