Our three-year-old daughter Becky wanted a dog.But we were too busy to buy one.
One day,Becky ran in,shouting,“Mom!Come to see my dog!” Her face was red
with excitement.
I followed her to the bush and found a wolf!He was hurt.
Seeing me,he stood up suddenly!I could see his teeth!God!My mouth felt dry.
“Don’t be afraid.That’s Mom.She loves you,too,” Becky said.Then he became
friendly.It was unbelievable!
I rushed to find my husband and told him
about the wolf.We should have killed the wolf,but Becky loved him.Besides,he
was gentle to Becky.So we called the vet finally.
Becky named the wolf
Ralph and she carried food to him every day.Later,Ralph got well.They played
together in the daytime.At night,Ralph would return to the mountains.
Sometimes he disappeared but came back several days later.
On Becky’s first
day of school,we could see Ralph’s sadness.After the school bus left,Ralph
lay by the side of the road and waited.When Becky returned,he got happy again.
This continued throughout Becky’s school years.
Twelve years passed.One day
we heard that a wolf was killed.The other wolf was hurt and ran away.We were
worried about Ralph.That night,Ralph returned with a wound(伤口).Becky held his
head kindly and comforted him.We hope he could come through.However,he died.
Becky cried.I noticed something strange in the bush---two little yellow
eyes!Ralph’s child!Before he died,Ralph brought his child to us!He knew he
would be safe here,as he had been.Ralph,Ralph… I was moved.
“Don’t be
afraid,Little…Ralphie.That’s Mom.She loves you,too.”
