the fact that they are inclined TO mao

Another curious illusion common
among horses is that when one has
once struck his head against the top of
a stable door he can never quite get
over the fear that there is something
dreadful hanging about that door,
ready TO strike whenever he has to
pass it. Perhaps horses have to live
on in this uninterrupted fear because
they have so few organs with which
they may experiment. The elephants

the only organs in the animal kingdom
