n the film version of the scene, Rainsford and his companion discuss how the trap will work, and the filmmakers show them working on it. In the story, the narration quickly moves from Rainsford finding the tree to the trap being built, without explaining what exactly he did. This creates suspense in the story, as the reader is not sure what Rainsford is doing. But in both the film and the story, Rainsford uses the same kind of trap. The filmmakers probably wanted the audience to be able to see the trap.
