1. Why did Jonathan Frisby never tell Mrs. Frisby anything about NIMH?
I don't know but hopefully because he didn't want Mrs. Frisby to be scared that he communicated with the rats, although I don't know why she should be scared, or maybe they had a secret that in the book was not relieved about the rats of NIMH. Or maybe because the rats are nothing knowing people and Jonathan Frisby worried about that if Mrs. Frisby discovered the rats of NIMH and she would see they are stupid she would have been worried that Jonathan Frisby would get influenced from them and he would be stupid to. Or maybe because Jonathan Frisby just didn't want to tell. Or maybe because he wanted to say it but he died just before he had his chance.
