Through a plethora of circumstances, instinct can be perceived as either good or evil; it has easily shaped itself into words as powerful as greed or intelligence. Right from birth and…

Ralph picked up his stick and prepared for battle. But what could they do? It would take them a week to break a path through the thicket; and anyone who wormed his way in would be helpless. He felt the point of his spear with his thumb and grinned without amusement. Whoever tried that would be stuck, squealing like a pig. They were going away, back to the tower rock.
