WILLOW WOLF
A lonely wolf named Willow lived in a dark forest without any company. Feeling lonely, Willow went for a walk and spotted a rabbit. Although he initially wanted to catch the rabbit for dinner, he decided against it and realized he only wanted a friend to talk to. Willow then devoted himself to being kind to the forest animals. Eventually, he made many friends and learned that kindness brings happiness, even to a lonely wolf like himself.
