Hello Dyane,
Here is a possible simple analogy. When I eat a bowl of cold cereal I 
want it covered in milk but the cereal still crisp. If it sits around 
and gets completely soggy it tastes yucky. If I toss a flake of hay 
on the ground and dump a gallon or so of water on it my horse will 
eat most of it. Every time I have dunked a flake in a barrel of water 
for a few minutes to get it really wet my horse eats very little of 
it. It looks really soggy and maybe it makes it taste yucky?? So now 
I just pour some water on the flake and let the excess run thru it 
into the ground. Some water is better than none.
