Read:
They say wolves are fierce. This may be true. But Lobito was the most peaceful and tame animal in Creation. He spent his days playing with his fellow woodsmen. But, because of the terrible reputation that wolves have, their presence alone was enough to scare away any and all possible candidates for their friendship.
The pack leader expelled Lobito because he didn't want to participate in the hunts.
"What am I going to do now?" Lobito asked himself, sad and abandoned in the middle of the forest. Lavish tears ran down her jaws for a long time. The sympathetic beaver had witnessed the expulsion of this good wolf and knew how he must be feeling.
— Don't worry, Lobito! he said, coming out of his hiding place. “My friends and I will take care of you. Look, I have an idea! You could be our bodyguard, in charge of our security. Your presence is enough to chase away our worst enemies. What do you think?
'Oh yes yes! Of course yes! exclaimed Lobito, extremely enthusiastic.
The helpless little animals in the woods were delighted to have such a good protector. And Lobito, in turn, was very happy for feeling useful and for having many friends in the woods.
