Land of Wolves

A helpless wolf... weak among the other

wolves, everyone saw him like that. He couldn’t be a peer to his colleagues; even during the time of fun and playing, he was just a spectator. No one sought his company, he was really forgotten.

One day this wolf decided to emigrate and escape from the community of his tribe because his inherent physical features could not qualify him to live in the land of wolves. He was not strong enough to live under the forest law “survival of the strongest”, and he knew very well that he could be their next victim. So, he was always talking to himself about finding a way to make him a worthwhile person one day since he wasn’t able to face or be a peer to his fellow wolves. He didn’t find any other solution except escape… Maybe, he would find what he kept looking for someday in another place.

As the wolf mentioned in our story was weak and no one was afraid of him whether old or young, he did not have any ability to challenge even the youngest wolf. Everyone avoided his company, so he secluded himself alone, wishing to be happy one day. So, he sat down, watching and dreaming that he would be a king one day and all the wolves are loyal to him. He sat down, feeling depressed and talking to himself saying: What am I going to do? I cannot live among those wolves… I don’t belong to this land, nor to the wolves living in it... The only choice I have is to escape and search for a place where I can live, a place where I can find someone who fears me and who seeks to satisfy me… My life here is impossible; all of them know my limited abilities, therefore they don’t care about me, as if I were not there among them or belonging to their community… I am a worthless person among this unjust community.

He decided to go away and immigrate to a land that he heard about, instead of this land that he cursed, and he got ready for this and drew a plan in his mind.

He waited for one day when the wolves were coming back with a great hunt, he made use of their involvement in eating after they finished a hunt trip in the darkness where every wolf has a task to perform… except him because no one trusted his abilities. After the wolves got together around the feast to celebrate their hunt, the wolf seized the opportunity and withdrew far away stealthily. No one felt his presence or cared about him, so he moved away quickly towards the borders. He moved away searching for a way to get out of this land guarded by wolves that are not afraid of dangers.

The wolf walked a very long distance until he reached the borders, and there he was stopped by the border guard-wolves; one of them asked him: “where are you going, weak wolf?”

He said: “I am in a reconnaissance mission to search for new places or new settlements for preys, as I was ordered by the leader of the flock, and all of them are now together around the booty that the leader has brought from his hunting trip today… it is such a big and delicious feast, and the herd are surrounding it… they are waiting for you there to share them the food”. The wolf drooled, and so did the other wolves with him. They thought that the leader intended to send him away from the feast, so they left him alone and hurried up to share the food with all the wolves.

The wolf sat down on the borders with puzzled eyes, thinking about the consequences of his own decision before leaving the borders. He asked himself: Should he leave or return...? If he leaves, he will go to the unknown… If he goes back, he will return to his inevitable fate. He previously lied, so he knew for sure that the leader would know about that when he looks for him, and then he will never get away with his deed.

When the idea of being a victim came to his mind, he stood up immediately... He made up his mind; he turned his back to his old land and took the first step towards the new land ahead of him.
