Page 20 - The Wolf That Lost His Way

“What is the matter, young one?” came a voice from

the river. The wolf opened his eyes and saw an old turtle

catching the last few rays of sun on a nearby rock.

“There was a fire and I lost my pack and my way, I

don’t know where they went. I am all alone,” he

whispered.

“You cannot be alone,” said the wise turtle with a

smile, “because I am here with you”. At this the wolf

went quiet.

After a few moments the turtle broke the silence and

asked, “What are you thinking?”.

“I should have ran away with my pack, I shouldn’t have

froze like I did. The haze was so enchanting to watch at

first, until it began destroying my home,” Mahìngan

whimpered.
