This steamroller is obviously in violation of some vehicular maximum-occupancy statute. The question is—who gets ordered to court? Most likely young Fletcher (at the controls), the only homo sapien on the scene. He's the most convenient scapegoat (though not the only goat).
All the other animals jumped on top of the steam roller as fast as they could. It was the only safe place to be.
"STOP!," everyone was shouting.
But the steam roller kept right on at full speed.
