It was a peaceful night.I was sleeping with my brothers, feeling warm and comfortable.Mama was sleeping nearby, covered by snow.Papa was somewhere nearby, watching over us.There was a bright moon and we had all had a good meal of venison (鹿肉) Papa had caught earlier.
“Uncle Louis is coming”, Papa said.We loved Uncle Louis.He was a funny wolf, and always had interesting things to tell us and show us.
A little while later, Uncle Louis appeared.We did not approach him with respect the way we approached Papa.We flew at him, jumped all over him, and rolled him in the snow.Uncle Louis laughed and patted us with his paws.He is black all over, with yellow eyes, and he is very tall.
“It's the longest night of the year”, Uncle Louis said,“Does everyone feel like taking a run through the woods? I want to show you something unusual.”
Hearing that, Papa warned that it was dangerous to go near that pack of humans who lived in the woods.
“They are hardly dangerous”, Uncle Louis laughed,“They are so clumsy and make so much noise.They are not able to get near us—or even see us if we don't want them to.Besides, this is their special night.They are quite peaceful and won't be bothering about wolves.”
“Oh, please, Papa, let us run through the woods with Uncle Louis and see something unusual!” We all begged.
“It is a fine night”, Papa smiled,“I must admit, I do feel like running.”
