Behind the scenes: the zoo vet and the animal hospital, sentence 3
Doctor Dolittle asks the animals what is wrong and cartoon animals bounce back from any bump; a real zoo vet cannot talk to her patients, so she watches, weighs, scans and tests, and real injuries take real treatment and time.
Who acts: Doctor, cartoon animals, real zoo vet, animal, real injuries · What happens: ask, be, bounce back, not talk, watch, weigh · To what, where: animals, bump, real treatment · Speech: someone speaks here
