People say someone was as fierce as a wolf, as timid as a rabbit, asa sly as a fox or as wise as an owl. But not all wolves are fierce, any more than all foxes are sly or all owls wise. A gentled wolf returns to the forest of his birth to practice medicine, but a silly owl warns sick animals to stay away.
