Cicero followed the brown wolf's gaze when he mentioned seeing a good mushroom. Cicero watched the poisonously coloured mushroom, and it came as no surprise that it was indeed poisonous; bright colours usually indicated a warning. Cicero had never tasted any of these, knowing better than to eat from bright-looking food. Cicero nodded at the brown wolf to indicate that he understood, and upon commanded started to scan the underbrush for more mushrooms.

Cicero found some bland-coloured light-brown mushrooms attached to a tree, almost like tiny flat roofs. "Brown wolf look!" Cicero called out to the brown wolf, and he waited by the tree to show his find and find out if it were good for anything at all.

Cicero and the brown wolf looked around for different mushrooms for a bit, and it was interesting to learn from him: he had different information than some of his family did, and so the youngster learned things from the brown wolf he did not from others. Eventually the brown wolf departed, and Cicero had never learned his name, although he remembered that the wolf smelled like salt.
