Garden burials, wild animals and a new pet «too soon», sentence 2
Wild animals act by instinct, not by right and wrong: the cat that leaves a mouse on the doormat and the fox that gets into the chicken coop are not wicked, they are being a cat and a fox, so we fix the fence rather than punish the fox.
Who acts: Wild animals, cat, fox, we · What happens: act, leave, get, not be, be, fix · To what, where: mouse, doormat, chicken coop, cat, fence, fox
