A Call for Stringent Gun Control on the Grounds That Caution Should Rank Above Faith in Your Neighbor’s Judgment
Remember your neighbor who mistook a wolf for a dog?
He rescued a pup from a storm not realizing it was a whelp.
His trust in the pup was limited because of its strange eyes.
The man paddocked off his garden and locked up the pup at night.
He rescued a pup from a storm not realizing it was a whelp.
Each morning the pup had jumped its fence and roamed.
The man paddocked off his garden and locked up the pup at night.
During the day the pup placidly lay under cobs of laburnum blossom.
Each morning the pup had jumped its fence and roamed.
The pup had unusually long legs so the man decided to roof the paddock.
During the day the pup placidly lay under cobs of laburnum blossom.
The pup was visibly uncomfortable around all but one human.
The pup had unusually long legs so the man decided to roof the paddock.
The pup had a straight tail and tufts of hair in its ears.
The pup was visibly uncomfortable around all but one human.
In the moonlight, it struck the man he was housing a wolf.
The pup had a straight tail and tufts of hair in its ears.
Your neighbor’s trust in the pup was limited because of its lupine eyes.
In the moonlight, it struck the man he was housing a wolf.
Remember your neighbor who mistook a wolf for a dog?
