Mrs. Fox's Monologue

May I have a word with you privately?
Just on the other side of this mineral
deposit. 
 
Follow me.
I'm going to lose my temper now.
Right now.
Twelve fox-years ago, you made a promise
to me while we were caged inside that fox-
trap that, if we survived, you would never steal 
                            another chicken, goose, turkey, duck, or squab, 
                                           whatever they are. 
                                             I believed you. 
                                        Why did you lie to me?
You say you are a wild animal.
but You're also a husband and a father.
So I don't care about the truth about
yourself.
 
This story is too predictable.
In the end, we all die -- unless you
change.
