Where does the story from "Pantagreul's Nativity" come from?

What other GG song comes from the same story?

Rabelais' "Gargantua".

The answer was very easy for french people

And Gargantua was a (gentle ?) giant with a big healthy appetite

I guess it would be easy for French people. 

Now what about the second song?  If you listen, I believe the name Pentagreul is mentioned in it.

The Advent Of Panurge

Weeeeeee are the champions, my friend

Pantagruel is the son of Gargantua and Panurge is the friend of Pantagruel.

(The famous story of the sheeps of Panurge)

OK, here's another.  Whence "Knots?"

And since that one is easy, an extra credit question: in short essay form, explain the similarities between the album "Three Friends" and Floyd's "Animals."

Peace.
