      It’s spring in the northern forests.

      White Wolf digs a den

      deserted long ago

      by foxes or wolverines.

      It is time. She is ready.

      As White Wolf curls up in her dark home,

      Gray Wolf, her mate, stands guard outside.

      In the morning,

      four blind and fuzzy pups

      nuzzle, hungry for life …

      and Gray Wolf howls his song of celebration.

      At two weeks old, Little Wolf

      opens his deep blue eyes.

      He can see!

      Hungry, he fills his belly

      on mother’s milk …

      then bumbles outside

      for the very first time.

      And three fat little bundles of fur

      waddle after him.

       It’s time to play!

      Wolf tag …

      tug-of-war …

      and hide-and-seek!

      Little Wolf tumbles with Little Sister

      and their brothers

      among the stones and wildflowers …

      then climbs to the top.

       King of the Mountain!
