In a big, green forest, there was a group of wolves. One of them was a young wolf named Fang. He was small but had sharp eyes and ears. Fang wanted to be a great leader like his grandfather, Old Thorn, who was very wise.
Every night, the wolves would sit around Old Thorn and listen to his stories about bravery and smart thinking. He told them that a good leader needs both courage and wisdom to help the pack succeed. Fang loved these stories and dreamed of being like his grandfather.
One day, a big storm hit the forest. The rain flooded their usual hunting area, and fallen trees blocked their paths. The wolves were worried—how would they find food? Who would lead them to safety?
While the others were scared, Fang remembered his grandfather’s lessons. He spoke up and said: Fang suggested they go to a dry area in the north where the ground was higher. He made small groups to clear the fallen branches and open a path. Fang remembered that rabbits hide under big tree roots during storms. He followed some pawprints with two other wolves and found a new place to hunt.
At first, some older wolves did not believe Fang’s plan would work. But Fang trusted his courage and his thinking. Soon, they found the dry clearing, and there were plenty of rabbits to hunt. The pack was happy and celebrated their success. Old Thorn smiled at Fang and said, “A true leader uses both courage and wisdom to help others. Today, you showed that.”
After that, Fang’s story spread far and wide. Many young wolves wanted to be like him, showing that bravery and wisdom together can help everyone succeed.
Lesson of the Story: Being brave is good, but when you add wisdom and good thinking, it can lead a group to safety and success.
