There's lots more to my story about Bert and Betty, and it's cleverly crafted and has a sub plot and explanation about the nature of God, the meaning of life, recovery from alcoholism and much more. It's very educational. You'll be amazed at what you learn.
For example, did you know red wolves almost became extinct here in the U.S? That all began in Europe back in the Middle Ages when people were terrified of wolves. Wolf attacks were very prevalent; there were 7,600 fatal wolf attacks in France alone. Wolves would attack and carry off little children and old people. You might be in your pajamas putting out your garbage or fetching the Sunday edition of the Medieval Times at the edge of your drive when bam - - wolf attack! You might be a prince going for a jog around the castle when bam! Wolf attack! You might have been a poor bastard working for the feudal King out in the fields, planting peas, lettuce or cucumbers when bam - - a wolf jumps out from behind some bean stalks and nails you in the throat.
So all the French, English and Spanish explorers of the New World were scared of wolves. They may have all acted like tough guys but they'd crap in their pants at the sight of a wolf. Jacques Cartier the French explorer dude who was looking for the Northwest Passage--he was scared of wolves. All the Pilgrims on the Mayflower - - they were scared of wolves. James Cook, Henry Hudson, Christopher Columbus, Ponce DeLeon - - they were supposed to be fearless adventurers. But in fact, all those guys were terrified of the damn wolves.
The native American Indians tried telling the white guys not to be so afraid and not kill all the wolves. But the white guys didn't listen. In fact after infecting the Indians with small pox, they started killing all the damn wolves in North America. So Bert and Betty--they are just a couple of the surviving red wolves--kept caged. This is their story.
