What would you have done if you were in the narrator’s (James Herriot's) place?

Model Answer

If I were in the narrator’s place, I would carefully assess Tricki’s condition and choose the simplest, most effective approach—regular walks, fresh air, and a strict diet. I would avoid medications unless truly needed. I would also be empathetic toward Mrs. Pumphrey and keep her updated in a reassuring way, helping her realize how overindulgence can harm Tricki.
