I'm running through the forest as a wolf, and as I'm running through the forest, I hear someone being attacked. I get closer, and I see someone getting attacked by a bear. "Get off me, you bear."
"I must intervene. His life hangs by a thread," I think as I pounce on the bear, launching a ferocious attack until it retreats. I extend my paw, and he grasps it, allowing me to lift him to safety.
"You've saved me. I can't express my gratitude enough," he says, his voice filled with relief and gratitude.
As I turn to leave, he calls out, his voice tinged with vulnerability, "Could you... could you please take me back to my father? He must be very worried about me right now."
I nod, put him on my back, and use my instincts to take him back to his father. "you're different from the other wolves. You're nicer, took on a bear with no fear, and you're standing on your hind legs."
I see someone, and I assume that it's his father. When he spots me, he aims his rifle at me. "wait, Dad, don't shoot. He saved me."
I set him down. "Tommy, what did I tell you about going off alone? You could've gotten yourself killed,"
"I'm sorry, Dad, a bear came out of nowhere and attacked me. I didn't have any time to react," Tommy says
"It's OK. I'm glad you're alright after you did something stupid."
"Dad, I don't need a lecture right now. Can we just appreciate the moment?" Tommy says
He lowers his rifle. "I don't know what you are, but thank you for saving my son. I thought all wolves were bad. I guess you were one of the good ones, even for one that stands on his hind legs."
"Thanks again. Maybe we'll meet again one day, hopefully not under these circumstances," Tommy says
I nod, and I run off. "I'm glad he's alright now. I need to get home before my mom gets worried about me," I think as I rush home.
