One day,while his mother was out hunting,the gray cub(幼兽) found the way out of the cave(洞穴). At first,he was afraid. But his curiosity was greater than his fear,so he went out. He soon learnt that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of the cave. And he fell,screaming in fear.
But he soon stood up,and started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel,and a woodpecker,both of which moved away from him. So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place,and other things that moved.
He had beginner's luck when he fell into a nest of ptarmigan(雷鸟). In the nest were seven chicks. He realized these were meat,like what his mother gave him. So he ate them all. As he walked away from the nest,the mother ptarmigan attacked him. He fought back,biting her wing with his small teeth. He was excited and happy. He was fighting for meat,fighting to kill. It was what wolves did. He learnt another important lesson.
Then he left the mother ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her,something rushed down from above him,picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle.
He was learning. Living things were meat,but if they were big enough,living things could also hurt. It was better to eat small living things.
Later something small jumped in front of him,so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel(鼬). It made strange noises,and soon the mother weasel appeared. She jumped at his neck and bit into his throat with sharp teeth. She wasn't big,but he didn't know how dangerous weasels were.
He tried to fight,but the weasel held on. The cub was sure to die,but luckily his mother,the she-wolf,heard his frightened calls and came to save him.
