As an added precaution, Pod puts some daylight between himself and the odd-sized animals. Thank you Henry,you : : My question: What does he mean by comfort factor", somehow it doen't make sense here. : : Thank you very much : : By the way I have a problem also with "put some daylight between himself..." but I stills have'nt try to dig into it. : Comfort factor is a safety margin. : "Put daylight between" means to create a clear gap between two things. A phrase popular recently in politics was to create/put/keep clear blue water between the policies of one party and another to show that they were different. Thank you Henry you helped me immensely.
