                                   Peaceful

        Her two cubs, Green and Yellow, could open their eyes, which was a great comfot and a pleasure to the she-wolf.

        Three months later, Purple, could turn herself back, lying there playing with her siblings.

        Now the she-wolf could scent spring in the air, although it was still cold in the secret valley.

        On warm days, she used to bring her cubs out of the cave, in order to let them enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. To her regret, Purple couldn't join them, for she couldn't even sit.

        Spring came back, and gentle winds blew into hte cave. The she-wolf would hang Purple with her mouth, and put her close to the entrance. She knew well that Purple needed to be used to the light from the sun.

        It was April now, and Purple could sit. They would all went out, and at the same time the she-wolf would help Purple out of the cave. The whole family would have a good time in the spring sun, sometimes for a good afternoon.

        Green and yellow were playing games with each other, while the she-wolf was playing with Purple. She licked the cheeks of Purple passionately. She would pick some flowers and blackberries for Purple. Purple giggled and crept into her chest, while she grinned a little and howled long.

        It seemed that they enjoyed a quiet life, which the great wild nature offered to them. It was an easy and peaceful existence without hunting, being hunted, slaughtering and being slaughtered.

        In fact, the life of a wild wolf was never this way. It was only a short period of ease. After all, a life of this sort was happy, but life always meant more than that.

                                 Nine months later

        Nine months lapsed away. Purple got a lot fatter and bigger. She could roll and creep about in the playing-ground, which the she-wolf opened for them. They were amused with the protection of their mother.

        It was deep summer。In such a season, it was never lack of food for wolves on the grasslands. Marmots were everywhere to be found, which were the favourite of wolves, because marmots were fat and delicious and easier to catch and snatch than Mongolian gazelles.

        Before the cubs grew up, the she-wolf wouldn't join her former pack. She was obliged to stay in and around the cave, expecting patiently for the cubs to grow.

        From time to time she would catch a marmot and coached her cubs to hunt. Now that cubs were wolves, they couldn't be dependent on the mother. Sooner or later, they would go independently to live. The lessons of capture and inspection were necessary and imperative for growing cubs.

        Now Purple would crept freely and howled as her mother. Instead of her milk she fed on the vomits of the she-wolf. Since Purple was among the wolves, in her mind she was a genuine wolf, covered with a thin coat of hair, though not as thick as her siblings. However, Green and Yellow would wonder Purple looked different from them. But, Purple never realized that because before her were all wolves.

        Nowhere was a shelter permenently. Since the winter season was on the way, the she-wolf was worried.

        On the grasslands the herdsmen had a custom of emptying wolf caves in hope of pulling out cubs. Humans were all the time hoping to make wolves exinct. They were ambitious but ended up losers.

        The she-wolf resisted being anxious. That was to say, she possibly had to find or dig another cave in case of being found  here. Though this was a secret valley, and the cave where she settled was one hundred years old, she couldn't help being worried. Thinking of cubs being scooped out of the cave always made a mother heart-sricken. If Purple was in possible danger, what should she do? Then, what could be done to prevent that thing from happening? Was there the possiblity of taking her along among the other wolves?

        As days passed by, the upcoming trouble and situation kept torturing her brains.
