But one day, the little local dog ran into the sheep in the pasture, ran around curiously, and was gored by a big ram After being seriously injured, his father took the puppy back to the wooden house. The puppy looked at Taya, barked twice weakly and then died. Taya started crying, crying very sadly.

Muyu is really too lonely and deserted for Taya. There are no children here and no children’s companions. Taya is too lonely. Mom and Dad discussed buying another puppy, and Taya imagined dogs everywhere every day.

At noon that day, as soon as my mother finished packing the lunch utensils, she heard the door open with a bang, and Taya rushed in excitedly. "Mom!" she shouted, "come and see my puppy! I gave it water twice. It was very thirsty and it was lying there!"

Alas! Taya talks about her dog every day, and here comes the puppy again. Where did it come from? "Go quickly, mom." Tayara moved toward her mother's clothes, her big blue eyes widened, "It's crying and can't run. Go and have a look..."

Mom is very strange. Taya’s fictional dogs are all about dogs that can do various tricks. Why is there suddenly a dog that can’t run? "Let's go, baby," Mom said and walked out with Taya. Taya suddenly plunged into the bushes and disappeared.

"Come to the birch stump, come quickly, mother," Taya shouted. Mom pushed aside the branches and looked forward, Oh my God! Just in front, lying next to Taya's heels, was a wolf! That was a wolf! It drooped its head between Taya's legs, its broad dark shoulders bulging beside its head, and its body was buried in the hollow birch stump.

The mother's mouth was dry, "Don't move, Taya, my baby." The wolf's yellow-white eyes were slightly closed, and sharp fangs were exposed beside the black mouth. It was trembling, and there were bursts of begging whimpers in its throat, and its shoulders were trembling.

"It doesn't matter, it's okay, little darling," Taya comforted it gently. "Don't be afraid, that's my mother, she loves you too." Yeah! When Taya's little hand brushed over the huge wolf's head with its rough hair standing upright, her mother heard a series of soft "plop, plop" sounds. It was the slapping sound of the wolf's tail coming from deep in the tree stump.

What happened to this wolf? Why can't you stand up? Could it be that has caused rabies to ? Didn't Taya say it was very thirsty? If you have rabies, it is contagious! She carefully greeted her daughter: "Taya, put its head down and come to mom. Let's find someone to help...".

Taya kissed the wolf's nose, and reluctantly walked to her mother's side. The wolf's eyes were dark and sad, and it followed Taya to look at it, then dropped its head weakly to the ground. Her mother led Taya to the stables, found the horse breeder Mike, and said, "Taya found a wolf in the birch pile in the woods. It may have rabies. What should I do?"

Mom put Taya with blurred eyes Taya coaxed her to bed for a nap. Taya said, "I want my dog ​​to drink some water..." Mom kissed Taya and patted her: "Let mom and Mike take care of it now, and you can go to sleep."

Mom and Mike came to the birch tree stump. Mike looked at it and said: "This is a Siberian gray wolf. How did it come to the Don River Plain? It's very big." The wolf whined in a low voice, a bloody The smell of trauma hit my nostrils.

"It's not rabies," Mike said. "It was seriously injured. Do you want to end its pain?" Before her mother nodded, Taya suddenly emerged from the bushes and asked loudly: "Mom, do you want to heal its injury?" Ya bent down and put the wolf's head on her lap, burying her face in the wolf's black fur. Mom and Mike heard the "plop, plop" sound from the wolf's tail. The wolf completely regarded Taya as a friend.

Taya's father drove to the veterinarian from the town. The veterinarian observed the animal's trust and dependence on the child and said, "Let your daughter come and take care of it with me."Taya held the wolf's head, and the wolf lowered its head silently. The veterinarian injected a subcutaneous injection of into the wolf's , and the wolf's red and yellow eyes closed.

The veterinarian and Mike pulled the "sleeping" wolf out of the tree hole. They saw that the hip and hind legs were broken by bullets. The veterinarian performed surgery, inserted a metal rod into the hind legs to replace the broken bones, and sutured Inject a dose of penicillin into the wound. After handling it, he said: "You have a big bad wolf in your family, and its friendly attitude towards your little girl really surprised me!"

Taya called the big Cinderella "Raff", and she brought food and food with her every day. Went to the birch stump on the water. Raph's injury was very serious and he was recovering very slowly. Every time Taya massaged its limbs, it endured the pain and never bit Taya's hand.

Half a year later, Raph could stand up. Taya was very happy. She hugged the wolf's head. Raph used his newly recovered injured leg to support his body. He showed his love to Taya with every move, and he lifted his big furry tail. Swinging like a pendulum to "repay" Taya.

Raph limped on one hind leg and followed Taya around the pasture. A giant cinderella and a young blonde girl roamed the pasture full of flowers, sharing the beauty and warm atmosphere of nature. Whenever night falls, Raff quietly returns to the hollow of his birch stump to rest.

Raff never disturbed the cattle and sheep when roaming on the pasture, and those wild dogs and prairie wolves did not dare to come to the pasture to disturb them. The Siberian gray wolf was the overlord on the Don River plain! Taya went to school, and she left home every day to go to school. Raf watched the bus that picked up the students leave and lay on the side of the road waiting. It wasn't until Taya came back from school and saw her getting out of the car that he stood up and limped to greet her. Go forward and circle around Taya.

Raff accompanies Taya and lives happily on the ranch. During the spring courtship season, Raff always disappears into the mountains far away from the Don River for more than a month. The herdsmen are obsessed with the wolf. He hated the wolf so much that he would shoot it when he saw a wolf, but Rafe could always return to the ranch safely after disappearing for dozens of days.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and Taya was fifteen years old. In late spring, Rafe returned to the ranch with gunshot wounds. People in the nearby ranch said that they had killed a female wolf and another male wolf. was also injured and ran away.

Taya sat next to the birch stump, Raf's head resting on her lap. Raf's fur had turned gray as the years passed. When the veterinarian took the lead bullet from it, a scene from the past seemed to appear again - a five-year-old little girl stroked the head of a giant black wolf with her hands...

Raf's injury was not serious, but it was difficult to recover. He was old and just lay quietly in the yard to rest every day. But at dusk, Raf staggered and disappeared into the mountains in the distance, and his food disappeared every morning.

That morning, Taya came to the birch tree stump. Raph was lying stiffly outside the tree stump hole, his red and yellow eyes tightly closed. When Taya stroked Raph's furry wolf neck with her hand, the corners of the wolf's eyes welled up. Tears.

Mom also came, Taya leaned on her mother's shoulder with tears in her eyes, and her mother brought a sheet to cover Raph. At the same time, they heard a strange rustling sound coming from the tree hole. Taya looked inside, and saw two small yellow eyes flickering in and out, and her white baby teeth shining brightly in the dark... Raph's cub!

The female wolf was shot and killed by the shepherd. The cub lost its mother and has been raised by Raf alone! How much of his own food did Raph haul away to feed the little wolf! As he lay dying, his intuition told Raph that his offspring would be safe with the people who loved him. Raph must have dragged the cub to the tree hole with his disabled body!

Taya held the trembling wolf cub in her arms with both hands, and shed hot tears on the cub's fur. "It's okay, little Raf," she said softly, "Don't be afraid, that's my mother, we love you.""

My mother also shed tears, as if she heard a series of soft "plop...plop..." slaps from the big gray ruffian's furry tail...

This story is based on a translation of a magazine many years ago. , tells the story of a foreign three-year-old girl and a gray wolf . The gray wolf in it is named "Raff". I adapted and wrote this story based on these materials and moved the characters. On the Don River plain in southern Russia, I couldn't help but shed tears while I was imagining and writing. The friendship between man and wolf deeply moved me. In this beautiful nature, people and animals should be like Taya. Living in harmony with the big bad wolf "Raff"...
