KiNako: The Call of the Wolf

"Ruki heard the wolf's call at night time. The cave was so dark that Ruki could not see past his small fire. But, he knew thee wolf was not far away. He grabbed his knife and waited."

One day Ruki opened his eyes and started into the darkness. He had heard something that the call of the wolf. He was afraid but he knew that he would ave to go out to meet that wolf. He knew that it would be one of the most important things he would ever do. Then he got up and went outside. "Did you hear the call?" his father asked. Ruki nodded. "Then you know it's time to go to the cave in the woods. It will be a big test for you.", said his father.

At the cave, Ruki made a small fire and he began thinking about what he would do when the wolf came. Next few days, Ruki heard the wolf's call at night. He knew the wolf was not far away so he grabbed his knife and waited. He pulled some food. Suddenly, the wolf came out then began to gulp it down. When the food was gone, the wolf looked up at Ruki and turned and left.

He had passed the test.
