    "The Interlopers" is ironic in several ways, but the most powerful is probably the ending. These men have been enemies for some time. They had been hunting humans, we are told.

    Once in the crisis, each was hoping for others to come, first to kill the other, and then to prove them right and moral, and when they see others coming they cry for help, after they've reached a new peace. And who comes? Wolves—to kill them after they've finally made peace. That's irony!
