In Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story" readers witness how a pack of wolves kill "the human thing".

From the perspective of a mother, one may understand that it was a necessary thing to do rather than the right one. As we can see in the text itself, the "human thing" was behaving in a very aggressive manner, trying to attack and kill his own children with a branch from a tree. Being left with no other choice, wolves, being predators by nature, protected the cubs and killed the attacker thus depriving him of any chances to repeat his violent actions in future.

As humans, we detest murder as a way of punishment or revenge, but in the given story we deal with wolves, and such behaviour is understandable from their perspective, moreover, one can clearly see that this was done only for protection.

Write an original short story which clearly illustrates the friendship between a boy and his dog. 350 words ​
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Once a boy and his dog were sitting, looking through the valley and the boy said this would be a perfect spot for a party. So they went to the Daily Market and bought 50 lolly bags, 200 varieties of soft drink, and 25 board games.

But then he stopped and thought how am I going to carry all this stuff? So then he had to go and get 275 shopping bags, but then he stopped. How am I going to carry all these bags back to my house? So he had to go back and get 150 trolleys. But then he stopped and thought, now how am I going to push all these trolleys?

So he went back and bought 50 of the latest robot-helpers that had 10 arms to help you with anything. After all that pushing, packing, walking, and buying, the boy and his dog with the robots finally got back to the house.

About half an hour later the boy, the dog, and the robots had set up a big party area. So now the boy thought, its time I phoned some people to come. In the end he had phoned his best friend Max but he was at the doctors, he rang Sarah (someone on his basketball team.) but she was at the shopping centre with her mum, and his other friend Luke was at the cinema with his dad.

By this time it was already 5:30 pm, and the robots had run off and so the boy sighed. His dog howled too, and then the boy looked into his dog’s eyes and said well at least I have you. Then the dog jumped on the boy, licking him and rolling around and the boy was laughing so hard. It turns out it was a great party after all.
