Gracie walks underneath
Penn and theyhardly notice each other.
That is a very interestingquestion. For one thing,
the animals oftenhave very different sizes.

Also, the animals aresurprisingly acrobatic. Gracie's cousin Boopis
can roll right over her.

?Like this! The space insidethe pond is warped in a waythat makes it infinite from thethe inside but finite from theoutside. To us outsiders, Delores' spots appear to shrink as they approach the edge, but really they all have the same size. The same goes for Nelson's teeth and eyes.

Flambeau and his herdlive in a crater thatis like the pond,except thatthey walk on thebottom.
From the outside,
Flambeau'sfriends Bolyai,
Gauss, and Lobachevskyseem to be different sizes, but
really they all are the same size.

Bill's eye is also one of these enclosed infinite spaces. Heloves watching Flambeau andthe other sheep. He can seetheir whole crater perfectly.

?
This has a subtle answer.At first, it seems impossible.The farm doesn't close up like Earth does, so how could it fit on Earth? That sounds like the end of the story, but...
think back to how the pond andthose craters take up a finite
amount of space from the outsider's point of view.

67
Oh, I see. It isn't such a stretch to imagine that the farm itself is one of those craters,and that the crater is on Earth.

68
Yes,precisely,but there isa catch. OnEarth thephysicallawswouldpreventone ofthosecratersfrom existing. So, the infinite farmcan't REALLYfit on Earth.
*
*A crater like this seems to requirematter to exist on all scales, whichis incompatible with the atomic natureof our world. Even setting this aside,the crater might generate a gravitational field that would crushour entire universe.

Since most of his teeth wouldhave to move faster than the
