A shaft of moonlight shined brightly inside the dark cave, illuminating the three squirming bodies of wolf pups. Well two squirmed the other lay completely still except for one paw that twitched. The left forepaw moved slightly seeming to reflect the moonlight off its sheer whiteness.
The mother and father of the pup looked at it; sorrow filled their hearts as they waited for the black pup with one white paw to die.
But as they watched the moonlight creep slowly for the pup, the pup's twitching paw began to move more. The moonlight drenched the pup with its radiant beam, and the pup lay completely still for a moment not even a little breath. The parents bowed their heads in silence for the pups death.
A movement caught their eye and they looked at the pup. It was squirming right towards his mother. They looked at the moonlight coming in and then at the pup. The mom went to feed her living pup, while the dad walked out of the cave into the moonlit snow. He lifted his head and howled to the great full moon which had saved his son, his little white pawed son. Moonlight.
