“Giving kids clothes and food is one thing but it is much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important, and that the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people.” - Dolores Huerta

TOBERMORY ENDING QUOTE: EXPLAINED

The ending quote is said in a comedic, satirical, kind of sarcastic tone. Clovis was speaking of Mr. Cornelius, the man that trained Tobermory to speak, and how it served him right to die if  he was attempting to teach the elephant "German irregular verbs." Themes found in this short story are secrecy and fear of revealing true thoughts. After all, the only way to people(cats) can keep a secret is if one of them is dead.
