Men are the cleverest and most dangerous animals on earth. Rats come second. Men kill their enemies. They have killed millions of men since ancient times-but rats have killed hundreds of millions of men. Rats carry diseases.

There is no plague in Europe today, but brown rats carry 35 other diseases. Rats are dangerous. They not only carry diseases into men’s homes, they also take men’s food. They eat 33 million tons of grain every year. That is enough grain to feed’ 200 million people—so men die of hunger because rats eat their food. Rats are clever, too. They have good leaders.

A. Many people asked him for help to win a Nobel Prize.
B. Some of the achievements did deserve a prize.
C. He is an editor of a science humor magazine.
D. He wanted to make up for what the Nobel Prize failed to do.
