The Clod
The tiny black ball thing represents a person.
A big black creature represents an obstacle in our daily lives.
Theme, Life is hard, but keep challenging
The Vermints
Vermin.....? like cockroaches? Nope
Vermints were actually cute and they are symbol of human beings or could be animals.
They lose their habitats because of the hurricane.
(This part illustrates that people exploit nature for their own sake, maybe)
Theme, human beings and nature are correlated, so be nice.
