Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I live under a pig's trough on whose property?

Answer: The Zuckerman family

My summer home is underneath Wilbur's trough. Wilbur originally came from the Arables, Dr Dorian is the local doctor and Henry Fussy is the boy that Fern Arable likes.

2. What is the name of the pig that shares my food trough?

Answer: Wilbur

Fern Arable gave Wilbur his name when she saved him from being killed on his very first day of life. Babe is the name of the pig in the book the "Sheep-pig" by Dick King-Smith and both Squealer and Napoleon feature in the book "Animal Farm" by George Orwell.

3. What did the Goose-oose-oose give me when she had hatched seven goslings?

Answer: An unhatched egg

She gave me the unhatched egg with the assumption that I would then leave the goslings alone - which of course I did...I never got a chance to do otherwise.

4. There is a spider in the corner of the pig pen called Charlotte. How did I save Charlotte from becoming part of Avery Arable's insect collection?

Answer: Caused Avery to break a rotten egg

The unhatched egg that Goose-oose-oose gave me was under the trough when Avery stood on it and caused the trough and consequently the egg to break. This gave off what I considered a quite pleasant smell, and the remains of the egg were delicious, although I had been saving it for a rainy day.

5. What message did Charlotte the spider weave into her web?

Answer: Some Pig

Crunchy and Pre-shrunk were words that I found at the dump below the apple orchard, but Charlotte said that neither were appropriate for the pig.

6. What did the pig get from me to help him spin a web?

Answer: A piece of string

Wilbur thought he just had to jump in the air and web would automatically appear, but wanted the string to stop him hitting the ground so hard. Unfortunately he never tied the other end of the string to anything.

7. After Charlotte rejected the first two words I brought her, which word did she accept to weave into the web?

Answer: Radiant

I found Radiant on a box of soap flakes in the Zuckerman's laundry. Terrific was the word that Charlotte chose as the second word, and Rasco is my favourite character from the "Rats of NIMH" books.

8. Why did Charlotte want me to come to the County Fair with her and the pig?

Answer: To run errands and do general work

I wasn't prepared to go, but they lured me by telling me that a fair was a rat's paradise and I would find lots of food there.

9. At the fair what did I do to revive the pig when he had fainted?

Answer: I bit his tail

I bit Wilbur's tail as hard as I could. I had come to depend on Wilbur for food, so I needed to make sure that the Zuckermans intended to keep him.

10. The pig did not want to leave Charlotte's egg sac behind at the fair, so I heroically rescued the sac after the pig promised me what?

Answer: That I could eat at the trough before he did

As a result of that promise, I probably grew bigger and fatter than any other rat you have ever seen. But I am happy here and no longer wish to seek out the Rats of NIMH.
