He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them.

How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right where they were, they 19．they couldn’t.
