The wolf never shifts at the doors of

That night Buckley set trap in q
poplar grove near his home and baited
it with the rotten egg. He hoped to
catch a red fox or perhaps a coyote.
But when he went out to his trap next
morning. what do you think he found?
The biggest silver fox Buckley ever
had clapped eyes on. He sold the pelt
