The dodo is “just a character” to some readers because people don’t see them in the real world. “As happy as a clam” means very happy. “As dead as a dodo” means completely dead. clam（蛤蜊）潮落时人们可以轻易地捕捉蛤蜊，涨潮时蛤蜊就会被海水覆盖，不容易被捕捉到，所以涨潮时的蛤蜊很快乐。 3 Why does the writer use the two expressions at the end of the passage?
