3. He tells them a lie in how the mule did it to herself. He starts crying and then the crowd starts laughing and he tells them what really happened.
4. I think it represents a new place for Dave. It represents freedom and a new life.
5. I don't think so. I think a society needs someone like Dave. If there isn't then it will be off balance. You need someone who has different ideas. No i don't think they should celebrate his departure.
