The three wolf princes
Once upon a time, in a green and bountiful forest there was a pack of wolves. The Alpha wolf had three children: Akeelah the eldest, Aytal, and Ayhal. Akeela and Aytal were smart, big, and strong. Contrasting to his brothers, Ayhal was weak, small and a bit foolish.
The time passed for the pack and as the three little wolves grew up, the alpha wolf grew older until it was time to decide who should be the new leader of the pack.
In order to prevent arguments among the members of the family, he had an idea: He asked a human prince who was venturing through the forest to throw three sticks as far as he could, and told his children:
"The objective of this test simple. You must to go to where the sticks touch the ground, to find the most beautiful flower near you."
Akeela and Aytal ran away, while Ayhal took a few steps forward, as his stick had fallen too close to where he was standing. He was feeling frustrated, and began to tore the ground. Then, he noticed that place was the entrance to a mole's burrow.
The mole came out very scared, fearing the wolf would eat him or his family.
"Oops, it was an accident. Don't worry little friend, i won't eat you." Ayhal said.
"Really? Thanks a lot for not eating me. What i could do for you?" the little animal asked.
"Please, could you give me the most beautiful flower you have?"
The mole searched his burrow and gave him a beautiful red flower that glowed like fire. The other two wolves arrived with their flowers in their snouts and mocked his younger brother for being "talking to the mud."
"Thank you so much for your help, mister mole!" Ayhal thanked the mole for his kindness.
The brothers headed over to where the alpha was, and he said
"Ayhal had brought me the most beautiful flower."
The older wolves banged their heads against a tree in their anger.
"This last test consists of bringing the most delicious prey" said the father of the three "Now, run away and use your hunting skills!"
The human threw away the sticks once again, and the older wolves went out to chase a large moose that was not going to be easily hunted. Meanwhile, the stick which corresponding to Ayhal fell again near the home of the mole. mole gave him a small piece of meat to the wolf.
"Ha, Ha, Ha!!" laughed his brothers when they got back to the starting point, carrying their prey "That can be barely chewed, silly. We brought a huge moose because we are strong and the best hunters."
The Alpha wolf tasted the meat that the three wolves brought him and said:
"The youngest one of my sons may have brought the smallest piece of meat, but it is the most delicious. Therefore, I order that he be my heir."
The older brothers felt the envy rooting deep inside of them, and left the pack for never going back. The elder brothers were big, strong and fast, but they forgot a very important teaching their fathers gave them as cubs:" Be kind, and treat other people as you'd like to be treated. Life knows how to reward it. "
