"The Wolf and the Sow"
Marie de France (trans. Harriet Spiegel. Fables Marie de France. Toronto: U of Toronto P, 1987).
Once long ago a wolf strolled down
A path and chance to come upon
A sow who was with piglets big.
He hastily approached the pig.
He'd give her peace, he told the sow,
If quickly she'd bear piglets now -
Her piglet babes he wished to have.
With wisdom, this response she gave:
"My lord, who can you hurry me?
When you, so close to me I see,
I cannot bear my young outright;
I'm so ashamed when in your sight.
Do you not sense the implication?
All women suffer degradation
If male hands should dare to touch
At such a time, or even approach!"
With this the wolf hid in retreat
Who'd sought the baby pigs to eat.
The mother pig could now proceed
Who through her cleverness was freed.
All women ought to hear this tale
And should remember it as well:
Merely to avoid a lie,
They should not let their children die!

How did the Versailles Treaty sow the seeds for World War 2?
err
Why did the irreconcilable oppose the treaty to end world war 1?
The Irreconcilables, a group of U.S. senators, opposed the Treaty of Versailles primarily due to concerns over the League of Nations, which they believed would entangle the U.S. in foreign conflicts and undermine national sovereignty. They argued that participation in the League could lead to automatic military commitments without congressional approval. Additionally, they were critical of the treaty’s harsh reparations on Germany and its potential to sow future conflict, advocating instead for a more unilateral approach to U.S. foreign policy. Their opposition reflected a broader isolationist sentiment prevalent in the U.S. at the time.
What did President Woodrow Wilson believe that if the victorious nations forced peace terms on the defeated nations after World War 1?
President Woodrow Wilson believed that if the victorious nations imposed harsh peace terms on the defeated nations after World War I, it would lead to future resentments and conflicts. He advocated for a more lenient and just approach, emphasizing self-determination, open diplomacy, and the establishment of the League of Nations to promote lasting peace. Wilson feared that punitive measures would sow the seeds of future wars, undermining the very stability and reconciliation that the peace sought to achieve.

Can a black bear kill a wolf?
Yes, but bears only kill wolves if it is persistent on protecting its carcass and the wolf is harassing the bear. Bears will also attempt to kill or maim a wolf if it is threatening the life of a sow's cubs. Black bears are larger and stronger than a wolf is, which is enough to enable such a beast (the bear) to kill a wolf.
