Audio by Dr. Michael Sokolow

If a dog or a goat jumps down from the top of a roof and breaks utensils [on the plaintiff`s ground] the compensation must be in full, for any of them is considered Mu`ad in respect of that damage]. If [however] a dog takes hold of a cake [with live coals sticking to it] and goes [with it] to a barn, consumes the cake and sets the barn on fire, [the owner of the dog] pays full compensation for the cake, whereas for the barn [He] pays [only] half damages.  קמא 2.3
הכלב והגדי שקפצו מראש הגג, ושיברו את הכלים-- משלמין נזק שלם, מפני שהן מועדין׃ כלב שנטל את החררה, והלך לו לגדיש, אכל את החררה, והדליק את הגדיש-- על החררה, משלם נזק שלם; ועל הגדיש, משלם חצי נזק
What is Tam, and what is Mu`ad? [cattle become] Mu`ad after [the owner has] been warned for three days [regarding the acts of Goring], but [return to the state of] Tam after refraining from Goring for three days; these are the words of R. Judah. R. Meir, however, says: [Cattle become] Mu`ad after [the owner has] been warned three times [even on the same day], and [become again] Tam when children keep on touching them and no Goring results.  קמא 2.4
איזה הוא תם, ואיזה הוא מועד׃ מועד, שהעידו בו שלושה ימים; ותם, משיחזור בו שלושה ימים, דברי רבי יהודה׃ רבי מאיר אומר, מועד, שהעידו בו שלושה פעמים; ותם, שיהיו התינוקות ממשמשין בו
