""Have you ever heard of the hour of the wolf? My father told me about it. It's the time between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning.

In times like this, my father used to take one large glass of vodka before bed. To keep the wolf away, he said. And then he would take three very small drinks of vodka, just in case she had cubs while she was waiting outside. It doesn't work.""
