Old Brown lived in a city. He had no job but he was rich because he was good at stealing(偷). He was never in prison. So none of his neighbors knew that he was a thief.

One day one of his friends went to see him, but he was out. His son, young Brown, came out to meet the man and asked him to have a cup of tea in the sitting room. About half an hour later, old Brown came back.

“Mr. White asked me to give back five hundred dollars to you, Mr. Brown,” said his friend. “Thank you, my friend,” said old Brown.

But to his surprise, the man couldn’t find his wallet. He looked very worried. “What’s wrong, my friend?” asked old Brown. “I can’t find my wallet,” said the man. “But it was in my pocket just now.” “Who was here?” “Only your son” “I see,” said Old Brown. “Don’t worry. I will get it back for you.” Old Brown went out.

Soon he came back with the wallet. His friend was happy and asked, “Did you blame(责备) your son?” “Please don’t speak loudly,” said old Brown. “My son doesn’t know I took out the wallet from his pocket.”

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 kind 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 Becky left school, Ralph lay by the side o f 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*. Becky held his head kindly and comforted him. We hoped 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…little Ralphie. That’s Mom. She loves you, too.”
