He won't go into another fox's den or touch one of its young ones, and if he finds a cache of food with another fox's mark on it, he won't touch it unless he is near dead of hunger." "How do you mean they cache food and how do they mark it ?" "Generally they bury it under the leaves and soft earth, and the only mark is to leave their body scent.

But that is strong enough, and every fox knows it." "Do wolves make food caches ?" "Yes, wolves, cougars, weasels, squirrels, bluejays, crows, owls, mice, all do, and all have their own way of marking a place." "Suppose a fox finds a wolf cache, will he steal from it ?" "Yes, always.

There is no law between fox and wolf.

They are always at war with each other.

There is law only between fox and fox, or wolf and wolf." "That is like ourselves, ain't it?
We say, 'Thou shalt not steal,' and then when we steal the Indian's land or the Frenchman's ships, we say, 'Oh, that don't mean not steal from our enemies; they are fair game.'" Quonab rose to throw some sticks on the fire, then went out to turn the smoke flap of the wigwam, for the wind was changed and another set was needed to draw the smoke.
