1) The words that I did not understand are:  nibble: to bite gently and repeatedly   Dozing: to sleep lightly and intermittently.

2)They use a simile to make more emphasis on the sentence and to make the reader more interested on the story, an other example of a simile could be: as slow as a snail.

3)They use animal as oppose to humans in order to be able to criticise in some way the human being in an indirect way, they also show certain stereotypes to impersonate each kind of person. As an example the fox takes the place of a neutral part that judges the entire race, even though the fox has the stereotype of being unfair and mean in this fable it is shown as the honest and fair one.
