"Anyway, as allow me to introduce myself. My
name is Buck. What is your name?"
"Stumpy. Well, really it's Stumperson, but my
friends call me Stumpy."
"Pleased to meet you Stumpy."
"You too, Mr. Buck."
"Oh you can just call me Buck. You've been
through too much tonight to have to stick to
formalities. I may be more than twice your age,
but I'm young at heart!"
"Ok Mr.—I mean—Buck. I've heard of those
wolves before, but I never thought they would
come chasing after me. I just wish they would
all go away—that they never would have
existed! That would be much better."
