A Wolfs Tale
With all her big brothers and sisters off to school, our ranch became a lonely place for our three-year-old daughter, Becky. She longed for playmates. Cattle and hors were too big to cuddle andfarm machinery dangerous for a child so small. We promid to buy her a puppy but in themeantime, "Pretend" puppies popped up nearly every day.
I had just finished washing the lunch dishes when the screen door slammed and Becky r
ushedin, cheeks flushed with excitement. "Mama!" she cried, "Come e my new doggy! I gave him watertwo times already. Hes so thirsty!"
I sighed, another of Beckys imaginary dogs.
"Plea come, Mama." She tugged at my jeans, her brown eyes pleading, "Hes crying — andhe cant walk!"
"Cant walk?" Now that was a twist. All her previous make-believe dogs could do marvelousthings. One balanced a ball on the end of its no. Another dug a hole that went all the way throughthe earth and fell out on a star on the other side. Still another danced on a tightrope. Why suddenlya dog that couldnt walk?
"All right, honey," I said. By the time I tried to follow her, Becky had already disappeared into themesquite.
"Where are you?" I called.
"Over here by the oak stump. Hurry, Mama!"
I parted the thorny branches and raid my hand against the glare of the Arizona sun. Anumbing chill gripped me. There she was, sitting on her heels, toes dug firmly in the sand, andcradled in her lap was the unmistakable head of a wolf! Beyond its head ro massive blackshoulders. The rest of the body lay completely hidden inside the hollow stump of a fallen oak.
"Becky," My mouth felt dry. "Dont move." I stepped clor. Pale-yellow eyes narrowed. Blacklips tightened, exposing double ts of two-inch fangs. Suddenly the wolf trembled. Its teeth clacked,and a piteous whine ro from its throat.
"Its all right, boy," Becky crooned. "Dont be afraid. Thats my mama, and she loves you, too."
Then the unbelievable happened. As her tiny hands stroked the great shaggy head, I heard thegentle thump, thump, thumping of the wolfs tail from deep inside the stump. What was wrong withthe animal? I wondered. Why couldnt he get up? I couldnt tell. Nor did I dare to step any clor.
I glanced at the empty water bowl. My memory flashed back to the five skunks that last weekhad torn the burlap from a leaking pipe in a frenzied effort to reach water during the final agonies ofrabies. Of cour! Rabies! Warning signs had been posted all over the county, and hadnt Becky said, "Hes so thirsty?" I had to get Becky away.
"Honey," My throat tightened. "Put his head down and co五倍子的功效

Reluctantly, Becky got up and kisd the wolf on the no before sh钓鲤鱼小药
e walked slowly into myoutstretched arms. Sad yellow eyes followed her. Then the wolfs head sank to the ground. WithBecky safe in my arms, I ran to the barns where Brian, one of our cowhands, was saddling up tocheck heifers in the North pasture. "Brian! Come quickly. Becky found a wolf in the oak stump nearthe wash! I think it has rabies!"
"Ill be there in a jiffy," he said as I hurried back to the hou, eager to put Becky down for hernap. I didnt want her to e Brian come out of the bunkhou. I knew hed have a gun.
"But I want to give my doggy his water," she cried. I kisd her and gave her some stuffedanimals to play with.
"Honey, let Mom and Brian take care of him for now," I said. M校园恐怖故事
oments later, I reached the oakstump.
Brian stood looking down at the beast. "Its a Mexican lobo, all right." He said, "And a big one!"
The wolf whined. Then we both caught the smell of gangrene. "Whew! Its not rabies," Briansaid. "But hes sure hurt real bad. Dont you think its best I put him out of his miry?"
The word "yes" was on my lips, when Becky emerged from the bushes. "Is Brian going to makehim well, Mama?" She hauled the animals head onto her lap once more, and buried her face in thecoar, dark fur. This time I wasnt the only one who heard the thumping of the lobos tail.
That afternoon my husband, Bill, and our veterinarian came to e the wolf. Obrving t
he trustthe animal had in our child, Doc said to me, "Suppo you let Becky and me tend to this fellatogether." Minutes later, as child and vet reassured the stricken beast, the hypodermic found itsmark. The yellow eyes clod.
