Do you want it to eat all the chickens? And if it doesn\u2019t eat all the chickens, it\u2019ll kill both the goats! What on earth made you bring it here?\u201d<\/p>\n HopAlong has never actually been this close to a real, live wolf before, but he\u2019s been a farmer long enough to know that there are two ways to look at everything.<\/p>\n What he needs right now is a new income stream to make up for years of losses from llama farming. And a wolf is a valuable asset. When it\u2019s dead. Not when it\u2019s alive!<\/p>\n He\u2019s really not too sure about the merits of nursing an injured wolf back to health. And he\u2019s absolutely certain that he can\u2019t dispatch it right now, not after the efforts that Burgess and CrankyHandle have had to go through to help the two lunatic teenagers with their madcap plan.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s injured,\u201d says EarlyBird, \u201cin both hind legs. You were injured in only one leg and I looked after you.\u201d<\/p>\n She looks at SnapDragon with a sympathetic smile. The wolf can already sense that the man is agitated, but that the lady of the house has a more caring nature. \u201cAnd besides,\u201d she says, \u201cwe have the space, and we have secure compounds. If the wolves can\u2019t get in, then a captive wolf can\u2019t get out, even after his leg has healed. Put the chickens and goats in one, and keep SnapDragon in the other.\u201d<\/p>\n HopAlong protests, \u201cwhat about horses? Kristal and Dave originally came here to discuss horses didn\u2019t they?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDarling, you don\u2019t actually like horses! What we need is a viable trade. A wolf is valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n Like KristalClear, EarlyBird finds it easy to build an emotional bond with animals, especially animals with a gammy leg. Or two gammy legs. \u201cWe might need to feed him a chicken or two,\u201d she says, \u201cbut we can get them cheaply enough. And we can also get rabbit and stuff.
