(4) PS O'Brien pictures the "dell" as a ravine into which the farmer has fallen, creating a logical reason for the familiar chain of people and animals; they are trying to pull the farmer out. At first the standoffish cheese does not want to help, but finally it, too, is persuaded. While the people and animals take on a similar look in the quietly comical paintings, the cheese--with its humorously expressive stick arms and legs--really stands alone.
