The narrator asks the wolf to tell him the story of how wolves mate and how wolves make love to females. The wolf says that he doesn't know how to tell the story because he's never met a wolf who loves another until one of them dies. The narrator says that the wolf will find out whether or not the wolf is telling the truth or lying as they walk away. The wolves start to argue about whether they've even started or not, and the narrator says they haven't yet gotten started. He says that if the wolf hasn't had a good time with humans, then it might be a good idea to mate with the wolf because the wolf was always satisfied when he was with the humans. The two wolves start arguing again, but this time, the argument is interrupted by the sound of a splash of water. This is the climax of the story, and it's clear that the narrator and the wolf know what's going on, but they're hiding it from each other because they don't want to reveal
