After reading answer these questions:


 * 1) Why didn't all the mascots come back to New Zealand?
 * 2) Why did quarantine rules prevent some from returning to New Zealand?
 * 3) What does the phrase "been through a lot" mean? Why would being through a lot together make the soldiers want to keep their mascots?
 * 4) When have you felt you "couldn't bear" to be parted from an animal or special toy?
