The porcupine showed them where to find roots and tubers that were good for food. The old boar taught them where to find wild berries and fruits. The doves showed them how to find seeds and nuts.
She saw a frightened hare hop across her path. Sister Wolf thought to herself, “Hares are able to eat roots and 48 wild vegetables all year long. ” Suddenly, Sister Wolf had an idea. She would ask the creatures of the forest to share their wisdom with the outlaws. If the outlaws could no longer go back to their villages, perhaps they could learn to live happily in the forest. At first, none of the animals of the forest would let Sister Wolf get close enough to them to talk. After all, most of the animals had relatives who had been eaten by wolves.
When Sister Wolf heard this, the heart in her furry chest sank. She understood their hunger but was committed to protecting the people of Stonebriar. Sister Wolf started traveling with the merchants and nobles along the road. One day, while Sister Wolf was walking alongside one of the nobles, the outlaws attacked. Four of them brandished daggers while the skinny one carried a bow. Leaping between the outlaws and the nobleman, Sister Wolf snarled and snapped her bared teeth. Since there was no longer violence in her heart, her ferocity was pretend.
