With all her big brothers and sisters off to school, our farm became a lonely place for ourthree-year-old daughter, Becky. She longed for playmates. We promised to buy her a puppy but in the meantime, "pretend" puppies popped up nearly every day.
I had just finished washing the lunch dishes when the door slammed and Becky rushed in, cheeks flushed with excitement. "Mama!" she cried," Come see my new doggy! I gave him water two times already. He's so thirty!"
I sighed, another of Becky's dogs.
"Please come, Mama." She pulled my jeans, her brown eyes begging, "He's crying—and he can't walk!" "Can't walk?" An unexpected change! All her previous imaginary dogs could do amazing things such as balancing a ball on the end of its nose and dancing on a tightrope. Why suddenly a dog that couldn't walk? "All right, honey," I said. By the time I tried to follow her, Becky had already disappeared into the bushes.
"Where are you?" I called.
"Over here by the oak stump(橡树桩). Hurry, Mama!"
I parted the branches and raised my hand against the glare of the sun. A numbing chill (寒战) gripped me.
There she was, sitting on her heels, cradled (抱着)in her lap was the unmistakable head of a wolf!
"Becky," My mouth felt dry. "Don't move." I stepped closer. Pale-yellow eyes narrowed. Black lips tightened. Double sets of two-inch sharp teeth were exposed. Suddenly the wolf trembled. Its teeth clacked, and a painful cry rose from its throat.
"It's all right, boy,"Becky comforted lovingly."Don't be afraid. That's my mama, and she loves you, too."
