Week 14 Reading Notes: Death's Messengers Part B

In fact, legend states that the silver foxes were the most mischievous and intelligent of the three because it learned how to speak like a human. Using this ability they would often play tricks on any passer byes. Whenever someone, would walk along their pathway they would often call out "Hey You!".
