In one jungle, one family of wolves lived. One day, Father Wolf discovered a little human boy when he went hunting. He took the boy into his family’s home. After that, Shere Khan who is a great tiger visited their home and said, “It’s I that took the boy from a human village. Give me him.” But, wolves knew Shere Khan wanted to eat him, so they never give him the boy. Then, Shere Khan said, “I will kill the boy someday,” and got off. The boy was named Mowgli and grew healthily with his brothers who are their cubs thanks to Father Wolf and Mother Wolf. He learned and played with them every day. However, the other cubs started to notice that Mowgli is different from them. Then, they isolated him from them. Almost all of his friends became enemies suddenly, but some of them continued to help him at every opportunity. However, he thought his friends will be hated by the other cubs for him, so determined to live in a human village. At a human village, one woman said to him, ”A long time ago, my son was took by a tiger. But my son is here now. You are my son.” Then, Mowgli started to live in her house. But, he didn’t sleep on a bed, so he slept near the jungle every day. One day, his friend’s wolf came to him when he slept there. The wolf said to him, “Shere Khan will try to kill you tonight.” He decided to fight with the tiger. Wolves of his friends helped him and managed to beat the tiger. But, one man who lived in the human village watched the fight and thought Mowgli is different from them. The next day, people in the village were scared of him and isolated him. He thought he is isolated even if he changes his living place, so he returned to the jungle. When he returned there, hid friends, Father Wolf and Mother Wolf were pleased very much. After that, he lived happily in the jungle with them.

Evaluation: 5 stars
Hero of this story is a human boy who was brought up by wolf’s family. Actually, I have heard the news that there was a boy who had been brought up by wolves until he was discovered. Of course, this story is a complete fiction, but I thought wild animals are very hearty. I learned human beings must not scare and persecute them without closely thinking.
