The Good Wolf
A mother amuses her child with a fanciful tale about a poor, cheerful boy who walks into a snowy forest and meets an immense talking wolf. The wolf proclaims himself friendly to well-behaved children and stern toward mischief, then produces wished-for playthings, money, and marvels from his unusually colored, growing ears. The boy accepts these gifts with joy and is presented amid a company of anthropomorphized animals, including a puzzled Noah's Ark Rabbit. The story mixes whimsy and gentle moral contrast, using imaginative transformations and surprising generosity to comfort and delight its young listener.
