“Quillo slid off the wolf’s back. ‘I thought she was going to hurt us, Lonī. She was so…scary!’ ‘Hurt animals hurt others, Q,’ replied Lonī. ‘Scared animals scare others. Hidden fear has the loudest bark.’ ‘How will I know they won't hurt me?’ ‘You won't know, Quillo. Till you have tried to love them first.”
