Snippet #2703800

It was bright, shining day in the township of Harvest Grove as the town is alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of the Harvester's Jubilee! Or the Harvest Festival as it is otherwise known. As the Saffron vendors work on operating their stands the various bodies travel up and down the road sampling and purchasing the many fine wares, foods, and services provided. As the Wolves seemed to cooperate in relative peace their eyes would suddenly be drawn to the image a big, lumbering Brown Bear walking down the street.

The Bear had a big, drawn-out, goofy smile upon his face as Wolves stepped aside not wishing to be in the way of such a large animal. While some seemed nervous around the new visitor, some (especially the pups) couldn't help but stare in wonder at the creature. They heard of Bears in their stories and found it neat to actually see one. The Bear waved it's big paw at the pups who either fled or barked. It was then his large snout began to suck in the surrounding air as he raised his head high in the air.w

"Oooh! Something smells really tasty!" He said whimsically as he seemed to rush over to the food vendors. The Wolves quickly dodged the big Bear as he came upon the vendors with a hungry look in his eye. "Uuuuuuuuhhhh....er, em...y-yes?" A vendor nervously addressed the Bear. "Oh Hi!" He jovially responded. "Something sure does smell mighty nice! What is it you're a-cookin!?" He anxiously asked. "Well....uh....well....," the poor Saffron seemed to be at a loss of words. "Oooh, what's that!?" The Bear asked as he pointed a big claw at the hanging meat rack.

"Well...uh....that's...meat?" He responded sounding unsure of himself. "Ah, that smells like it too! What kind of meat?" "What kind? Er, well." The Wolf seemed to ponder long and hard at what he had to sell. It was then the Bear's nose drew him towards another vendor. As the other Saffron breathed a sigh of relief, a new Wolf now had to contend with the boisterous Bear. "Heeeeeellllllloooooo there!" He sang. The She-Wolf yipped in surprise at the Bear. "What is that!?" He asked as he pointed his claw at a loaf of bread. "Uh...that?" She nervously pointed with her muzzle. The Bear goofily nodded his head.

"That's our famous honey bread...uh," She was then interrupted by the Bear. "WHAT!? Honey you say? My, oh, my what a wonderful day this is! I love honey, best sweetener since sugar!" He laughed. "I would like some." "Well, okay?" The She-Wolf handed him a slice as the Bear quickly gobbled it up. "Hmm, that sure was tasty! I need some more!" He laughed. "Another slice?" She asked. "Well...if you don't mind, I'll take a whole loaf!" The She-Wolf nodded slowly as she handed the Bear a freshly baked loaf. "Oh boy!" He giddily spoke as he took the loaf and began to eat it.


Few Minutes Later....


On the edge of town there walked two Foxes, one had red-orange fur and the other plain red. As they stopped short of entering town they stood behind a tree to speak amongst themselves. "Alright Wade, just like we planned. I'll step into the crowds generating interest in seeing my brother, the Fox who personally wrestled some of the strongest predators in the world to the ground. Then once we get a sizable crowd we'll find a good place to stage our show, perhaps near the center of where ever all the action is. Then I'll begin to make a call for any challengers willing to step up to take your title. Then our good friend Bosko, should hear us and once he hears the cue he'll come to fight you. Then I'll take bets from these Wolves on who they think will win. I'll bet everything on you and in the final round Bosko will take the fall. Then my brother we should be leaving this town with Bosko's weight in fabulous moolah!" The Red-Orange Furred Fox snickered.

"Don't worry Jarvis, this plan should go off without a hitch. After all it's us we're talking about." Wade grinned. "Let's do this." Jarvis said as he and his brother performed their signature paw shake. "Heh, these backwater hicks won't know what hit'em." Jarvis snickered as the brothers strolled into town. Jarvis and Wade looked all around them as the Wolves went about their business. Unlike the Bear who had bumbled into town earlier, the Wolves made no qualms with being in the Foxes' way. In fact some looked down on them and sneered. Foxes have a bad rep for being tricksters so it's not an uncommon thing for Wolves to find their presence immediately exhausting.

This bothered them none, in fact they took pride in being sneaky con animals although they'll never admit it to anyone else besides themselves. "Oi! Wolfie! Wipe that disgusted look off your face! Don't you know who this is?!" Jarvis shouted at a Saffron who glared at them. "No, I don't and why should I care about any Fox?" The Wolf retorted. "Oh, ho ho! Because this ain't any ordinary Fox good sir! This here is the Fox that single-handedly wrestled a buffalo to the ground!" Jarvis shouted for all to hear. The Wolves then laughed at the very idea. "Hey what's the big idea!?" Jarvis yelled.

"They're laughing because that ain't impressive. A Wolf could wrestle a buffalo too." Wade spoke up. "Hey you're right, what was I thinking!? I should have mentioned to these mongrels that you wrestled an Alligator before!" Jarvis proclaimed. The Wolves stopped laughing and then growled. "Hey who are you calling a mongrel!?" The Saffron growled. "You for not recognizing greatness when you see it! Wake up, Wolfie, there's more to the world than grains of rice!" "Rice!?" The Saffron huffed. "Yeah this is the Fox who wrestled one mean Alligator with a toothache in his own swamp! Not only that but he wrestled a crazy Wolverine with one paw tied behind his back! And, get this, this Fox is so insane he wrestled down a Brown Bear with the strength of twenty Wolves!" Jarvis shouted.

The Wolves buzzed with chatter as they looked skeptically at the spunky Foxes with their tall tales. "Yeah right! And I'm the Alpha of the Dimitrios!" A Saffron shouted as the Wolves laughed at the remark. "Oh is that doubt that I hear? Fine, I'll prove it to you all! I'm willing to bet that my friend here could wrestle anyone in this town down to the ground!" Jarvis proclaimed. The Wolves roared with laughter. "Hey I'll take that bet!" Shouted one. "Yeah me too!" Shouted another. "Alright, you all think you're made of tough stuff!? How about we take this out of town perhaps over where those games are being played?" Jarvis asked.

Soon the two Foxes were leading a large crowd out of the town. "Good, good, everything is going as planned." Jarvis thought to himself. "We'll be rolling in the dough before the afternoon!" He greedily thought.
