Hill, who couldn't come up with a solution, lay sleepless throughout the night, thinking about the naturally lazy Nils. He had no idea what to do.
Can't make him run on a wheel, can he?
Hill remembered that the thing only worked if they liked it. He had seen a fat cat that lay motionless in a wheel, even if the owner pushed it; it would hang there like a dead cat.
Nils would definitely do the same. Without Sharlene around, no one could control his food. As long as the meals and snacks were delivered on time, he could lie dead on the swing.
But when Hill walked out of his room in frustration and saw Nils running like mad outside, he was speechless.
Valery had left during the night, so Nils was genuinely exercising on his own.
"Nils is much smarter than Valery!" Ula, preparing to go hunting, looked on with amusement. "His dad took a year of beatings to behave."
Hill remained silent. It seemed the Earth Bear legacy had its logic.
