The
Dark
Cub
had
learned
the
rudiments
of
Wolf
life:
that
the
way
to
fight
Dogs
is
to
run,
and
to
fight
as
you
run,
never
grapple,
but
snap,
snap,
snap,
and
make
for
the
rough
country
where
Horses
cannot
bring
their
riders.
He
learned
not
to
bother
about
the
Coyotes
that
follow
for
the
pickings
when
you
hunt;
you
cannot
catch
them
and
they
do
you
no
harm.
He
knew
he
must
not
waste
time
dashing
after
Birds
that
alight
on
the
ground;
and
that
he
must
keep
away
from
the
little
black
and
white
Animal
with
the
bushy
tail.
It
is
not
very
good
to
eat,
and
it
is
very,
very
bad
to
smell.
Poison!
Oh,
he
never
forgot
that
smell
from
the
day
when
the
den
was
cleared
of
all
his
foster-brothers.
He
now
knew
that
the
first
move
in
attacking
Sheep
was
to
scatter
them;
a
lone
Sheep
is
a
foolish
and
easy
prey;
that
the
way
to
round
up
a
band
of
Cattle
was
to
frighten
a
Calf.
He
learned
that
he
must
always
attack
a
Steer
behind,
a
Sheep
in
front,
and
a
Horse
in
the
middle,
that
is,
on
the
flank,
and
never,
never
attack
a
man
at
all,
never
even
face
him.
But
an
important
lesson
was
added
to
these,
one
in
which
the
mother
consciously
taught
him
of
a
secret
foe.
