How to be Brave

Little Wolf lived with his father, Dark Cloud, in a tent near a big forest.

When the boy was ten years old, Dark Cloud decided that Little Wolf must learn to be brave. One afternoon Dark Cloud said, "Little Wolf, you must come to the men's fire this evening". Little Wolf did not ask questions because he remembered his father's words — he must see with his eyes and hear with his ears, and only then speak.

When night came, Dark Cloud and the other men sat down round the fire. Thesky was dark. There was no moon and the stars were behind the clouds. "Come to thefire, Little Wolf, his father said. He gave the boy a bucket and said, "Go to the riverand bring a bucket of water!"

The river was far from the camp, on the other side of the forest. Children neverwent into the forest at night. They knew that the forest was full of animals and theywere afraid. The boy looked at his father, but Dark Cloud looked at the fire and didnot speak.

The boy took the bucket and went into the forest. He walked slowly, because it was very dark. But then he heard a noise. He stopped and tried to see what it was.

Now he heard other noises. He began to run. He fell, then he stood up, took his bucket and ran again. When he came to the river, he did not rest. He took a bucket of water and began to walk back. But in the forest he heard the noise again, and in one place he thought that he saw a wolfs eyes. He began to ran. When he came back to the men round the fire, there wasn't much water in the bucket.

| An old man took the bucket from the I boy and looked into it. He did not |speak, but gave it to the next man. The ! bucket went round from man to man. і When it came back to the first man, he j threw the water on the grass and said to Little Wolf, "Go to the river again! Don't run on your way back!"

Little Wolf did not want to go, but he did not want to show that he was afraid. He took the bucket, and soon he was in the forest again. But in the forest he heard animals.

The noises were so near that he thought he saw an animal behind every tree. He began to ran, and when he came to the river, he was tired and hot. He took only half a bucket of water and ran back with it. Again the old man threw the water on the grass. He gave the bucket to the boy and said, "Go to the river and this time bring a FULL bucket of water!"

The boy took the bucket and thought," If I can't do this, I'll never be a man!" He ran to the forest, and he did not look back at the fire. It was so dark that he could not see the way, but he did not stop: "I must not be afraid!" he thought.

At the river he took a full bucket of water, and went back into the dark forest. He thought of his father and the other men round the fire. He remembered that he must bring the bucket to the fire full, and he walked very slowly. When he came to the fire, the old man saw that the bucket was full.

The old man took the boy's hand and said, "Brave boy! You are brave, because you are not afraid of the night!" Another man came to him and took his hand. "Brave boy!" he said. "You are brave, because you are not afraid of the animals in the forest".

Dark Cloud came to him and said, "My son! You are brave, because you are stronger than fear. You will never be afraid!"

Little Wolf lived with his father in a tent near a big lake.

When the night came Dark Cloud and the other men sat down round the fire.

Dark Cloud asked his son to bring a bucket of water from the river.

The river was near the camp.

When the boy came to the men round the fire for the first time the bucket was full of water.

The old man didn't ask Little Wolf to go to the river again.

Little Wolf went to the river gladly because he wanted to show he was brave.

Little Wolf was afraid to go to the river because there were many animals in the forest.

When the boy came to the river, the bucket was already full of water.

Dark Cloud was proud of his son because Little Wolf was stronger than fear.
