A farmer was cleaning one of the sheepcotes and saw a wolf had given birth to four cubs, in a warm corner, away from sheep.

The mother wolf went out of the farmer’s farm and brought food for her cubs every day.

The mother wolf felt safe on this farm and knew the farmer wouldn’t hurt her cubs and her. The farmer just kept an eye on her so she wouldn’t put his sheep in danger, amazingly she cared not to, as an appreciation of the farmer’s hospitality.

Every day the farmer saw the mother wolf brought sheep, chicken, and gazelle for her cubs. Even though she saw the farmer’s sheep every single day, but did look at them as a part of a family. The farmer still had the count of every sheep and didn’t take his eyes off the mother wolf and her cubs.

Cubs grew up so fast, and one of the days that mother wolf was out to hunt, two of the cubs killed one of the sheep on the farmer’s farm. The farmer just waited for the mother wolf to come back and see what would her reaction be to the situation.

When The mother wolf saw what had happened, started howling and bay. Then she began to move cubs one by one out from the farmer’s farm.

The next day the farmer saw the mother wolf grabbing a sheep with her teeth, without injuring it brought it to the farmer’s farm and left.

The farmer always knew wolves as wild, ferocious, and brutal.

But the farmer never believed If a human helps them and shelters them, they would never betray, and if any of them become ungrateful, they would compensation it fast.”

“But unfortunately, this true story doesn’t relate to many humans. Some of us are crueller than a wolf.”

  2. That is an amazing story. So beautiful

  3. I do wonder if that’s how the domestication of dogs began… except it predated by many millennia the herding of sheep.

  4. Great fiction story 🙂 I believe when Christ returns, the wolf will lie down with the lamb!

  5. This story will stay with me, Laleh. Thank you. <3

  6. A very powerful message

  7. Great story and I loved the last sentence thanks for sharing.

  8. Yes. And I also wish ranchers in the American West would understand this and stop killing all the wolves! Thank you for this beautiful story.

  9. Bravo 👏…brilliant story with a wonderful message. You captured it beautifully, the imagery pops. Shades of love, honor, loyalty and respect. Family and community.
    Heartfelt Laleh, thanks for sharing. 🤗💜🌹

  10. Love your style of storytelling 👏👏

  11. Wonderful story as always 💕

  12. Fascinating story.
    Have you seen the movie “Never Cry Wolf”? I think you would find it very interesting.

  13. Great story. I love it. Thank you!

  14. Wonderful story and conclusion have laid a big question mark on one on one dealings with humans. How much good you do but a fear of betrayal is always there within .

  15. Such a moving story that brings out the goodness in us

  16. Hmm so very true. Animals in many ways reflect more compassion and care than mortal man. God our creator/ their creator as well teaches us a lot of humbling lessons through them how we ought to be with each other. Lovely story and meaningful story as always! God bless you! Much love! <3

  17. two sides
    of human nature
    born of the origin of sin
    no way to win
    jealous deity
    wishes for sincere
    forms of piety . aha!

  18. Amazing story, Laleh! It is heart breaking to acknowledge the truth that some of the humans are indeed much crueler than a wolf!

  19. We are, indeed! A gripping tale.

  20. 🙂 This is probably the same behavior that leads herding dogs to help their human partners care for flocks. Fascinating. And, a good lesson.

  21. Fantastic story. Humans aren’t as loyal or trustworthy.

  22. I love your story and the beautiful pictures!
    Since some years there are after a long time again wolfes in some areas here in Germany. And the discussions are very furious about killing or accepting them…
    I love wolfes and I do not believe that they are bad and furious killers…

  23. Great and unbelievable
    💓👏👏👏

  24. A wonderful story of love and trust. Unfortunately we humans, have forgotten what the word humanity truly means! Blessings!

  25. Being out in Nature as much as I am, I see things that go against the general belief that wild animals are vicious. What a touching story, one that proves, wild animals are extremely intelligent and they exhibit compassion and peace to those who help them. I had tears in my eyes when I read this. Thank you for sharing this amazing tale!!

  26. Ah, Laleh a wonderful story, the difference between the human and the animal eh? x

  27. Lovely story and beautiful photos. Wishing you a creative and peaceful weekend, Laleh.

  28. A lovely story! Often animals are much more loyal than humans. 🙂

  29. A wonderful story. Though wolves are often accused of attacking sheep, birds and lemmings can make up a substantial part of their diet.

  30. Such a beautiful story!😊❤️

  31. Wow! That’s amazing! She understood.

  32. Beautiful story of love, care and kindness 😊❤️

    AMAZING TALE! BUT IT IS TRUE—-MANY OF WE HUMANS ARE IN FACT WOLVES DRESSED UP IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING—AN INSULT TO BOTH THE WOLVES AND THE SHEEP!

  34. I think humans have a misunderstanding about animal behaviour. We have been taught/programmed wrongly regarding animals. I think in most cases, they become violent in self-defence. Thank you, Laleh for posting this. I enjoyed reading it.

  35. I really like this one Laleh. “Some of us are crueler than a wolf,” is true.

  36. Wow! What an Amazing Story🙂
