I understand the lawyer said slowly that there has been an exeriment with some rats. Some mother rats were given these chemical in their drinking water and some of their babies were born without legs. Is that riight mr Duncan
John looked at the lawyer for the first time. He was a small uninteresting-looking man in grey clothes with grey hair and a thin face. He look like a rat himself john thought. The man's eyes were small and bright and for some strange reason he had a newspaper in his hand. John began to feel afraid of him.
Yes he said that's right. But rats are much smaller then people and they were given nearly five parts per million in their drinking water for ten days that's very different. No one drinks the river water. It goes stright out to sea.
