Ever hear the one about the white wolf?<\/p>\n
There was a woman of extraordinary beauty
\nShe was desired by every man
\nBut there were none who could attract her attention<\/p>\n
She was often seen walking in the woods
\nWhere she would gather berries
\nAnd was most happy in the shade of the trees<\/p>\n
Her suitors were not so patient
\nThey wanted to possess her
\nAnd claim the most beautiful wife in the land<\/p>\n
One day she was in the forest
\nWhen she heard the distinctive barks of hunting dogs
\nTo her horror, they were chasing after her<\/p>\n
She ran quickly through the trees
\nHer foot was cut on a stone
\nAnd she tried to hide as best she could in a cave<\/p>\n
She whispered a prayer
\n\u201cPlease help me escape\u201d
\nA voice replied, \u201cWhat would you do to escape?\u201d<\/p>\n
She turned to see a black wolf in the cave
\nIt bowed its head, and repeated
\n\u201cWhat would you do to escape?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnything,\u201d she whispered, \u201cAnything.\u201d
\nThe wolf plodded forward
\nAnd pressed his head into her palm<\/p>\n
The hunting dogs were shocked
\nWhen a white wolf ran at them
\nSnarling, baring their teeth, a black wolf silent beside them<\/p>\n
Their lords were found later
\nThroats ripped out
\nLeft scattered between the trees<\/p>\n
The woman was never seen again either
\nBut sometimes, if you are wandering the forest
\nYou will see a white wolf<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
