This caused widespread starvations amongst the humans, which resulted in less food for the Gaks. The problem was solved by [[Polanski Ansel]], who negogiatied the Great Gak Treaty. In the treaty, the Gaks swore to never touch any straw again, and the humans swore to stop playing accordions. The treaty also stated that if a human catches a Gak touching straw, that Gak must do the human a service, which is usually the service of not being eaten.{{book ref|a6|9}} |
