"Well, maybe it took a lot of patience, but I think it all paid off... Talking to animals seems to be a rare skill these days, unfortunately," Kronk said, though he couldn't see a good reason for that. "Most people just don't want to bother, I guess. Most people are surprised that I can, but I'm sure they could learn it too, if they tried. Comes down to the inherant laziness of our society or something, I suppose. Nobody wants to learn extra languages unless they absolutely have to. And if they ~do~ learn them, they always pick other human languages for some reason..." Personally, Kronk liked to think that being able to talk to animals gave him a unique advantage in some situations, especially since nobody else bothered to learn how.
