LONE WOLF
5 Million years ago there was a
forest filled with wildlife. Among
these animals there was a young
wolf, the very first of its kind the
wolf was alone. Whenever the
young wolf had trouble getting food or needed help getting
unstuck in some situations he would turn down any offers
to help him. The young wolf wanted to prove that his kind
wasn't weak and he could do anything with no help. This
was foolish and gave him the name Ippiku Ookami.One day
he saw a couple of cubs playing together with there mother
and father. This reminded the young wolf about how alone
he was more than ever. For a while he was very depressed.
While sitting on an old hill the wise owl came to him. The owl
told the wolf that he doesn't have to b alone and he just has
to be willing to take the time to find more of his kind. The wolf agreed to this and the owl told him that o find more of his kind he has to cross the valley of death. the wolf decided that now might be a good time to finally use some help. The wise owl told him that he can not burden the rest of the forest now when he used to so rudely turn down there offers of help. So in the morning the wolf left to cross the valley of death. Years went by and none of the forest creatures ever saw the wolf. Then one day the wolf returned from the impossible journey, only this time he came back with a family. This proved to the rest of the forest creatures that he and all the rest of the wolves were not weak and thus giving honor to the name Ippiku ookami.
