there was a wonderful land that was perfect for a reserve
but it was inhabited by wolves.
many of them were easy to contain, but one remained loose
El Lobo
he was the strongest, fastest, smartest wolf of the pack
and was not easy to capture
every night, they hear him howl to the moon
a proud howl.

one day, the hunters left poisoned bait for El Lobo
and they were surprised to see the bait was not there the next day
but that night, they still heard El Lobo howl.
they were shocked to find that El Lobo had just hid the food.

one day, the hunters left out traps,
complicated traps that weren't easy to evade.
snares and fox traps:
all of them were still there
and El Lobo continues to howl

one day, one of the hunters discovered that El Lobo had a mate, possibly pregnant.
they set traps for her...
...and she fell in one.
they shot her immediately, and left her dead body as bait for El Lobo...
...that night, they heard a long mournful howl

the next day, they were surprised to find El Lobo,
all his legs had a trap attached.
he was strong enough to drag them all the way to his dead mate
and was willing to get snared just to get to his loved one

...and then I turned off the TV crying
