THE ENGLISH TEACHER'S PET - WILK

Wilk lives in a detached house with a garden with shrubs and trees where every spring birds build their nests, lay and incubate their eggs, and raise its young. These nests are built by blackbirds. Although the main predator of the blackbird is the domestic cat, every spring when I come back home, I find one or two dead birdies which Wilk has caught in the air while they were learning how to fly. On these occasions I call him «bad dog», and he seems quite ashamed of his act, because his ears - always standing erect - lay back flat and low on his head. This spring he hasn’t killed any birdie yet, but one of these days when Wilk and I were taking a long walk through the fields, he ran after a rabbit and bit him to death. I was so angry that I took him immediately back home. When I arrived home, I told my family the story and concluded Wilk was a serial killer. My family was more understanding, though. Especially my daughters who asked me: «Mami, please, don’t call Wilk «serial killer»; Wilk is just a hunter!» And you, what do you think?
