A Wolf Named
Ralph
Once upon a time there was a wolf
named Ralph. He lived on the Arctic tundra in Alaska. One day Ralph
was home twiddling his thumbs, and wondering whet he should make for
his grandmother who lived on the far side of the tundra from his
house. Then he had it. Ralph said he would whip up a bowl of akutaq
(Eskimo ice cream) because he just remembered she loved to eat
akutaq. While he was
whipping the ingredients, Ralph
noticed that he Just needed 4 more cupsof blue berries to finish the
recipe. So he decided to run over to his neighbor who was simply a
little ole rabbit and not very bright and even a little coo-coo. When
Ralph arrived at the rabbit's house he saw that it was made out of
Avens and he remembered that he was allergic to them. But he decided
to go and ask the rabbit if he could borrow some berries so that he
could whip up the bowl of akutaq he was making for his grandmother.
Ralph thought he could cover his nose while speaking to the
rabbit.
When Ralph went up to the door and
knocked, the door fell right to the floor. So he Just peeked in and
shouted, "Little rabbit, little rabbit are you in." There was no
answer so he shouted once again, "Little rabbit, little rabbit are
you in."
Before he was about to speak again
he let go of his paw from his nose and smelled the Avens. When he
felt a sneeze coming on, he huffed and he puffed and he blew a huge
sneeze. The poor rabbit's house fell into thousands of pieces, and
right in the middle of the floor there lay the rabbit deader than a
smashed thumb tack. Out instead of leaving it there to rot he decided
to eat it.
Then he decided to pay a visit to
the little rabbit's brother who didn't live very far from the first
rabbit's house. Ralph was really hoping he would get the blue berries
so he could make the batch of akutaq for his grandmother. He also
hoped that the rabbit's house wasn't made of some other flower that
he was allergic to. When Ralph got to the little rabbit's house, he
saw that it was made of Fireweed which was another flower he was
allergic to. But before reaching the house he covered his nose to
keep from sneezing. He knocked on the door and the little rabbit
said, "Who is it?" Ralph replied, "My name is Ralph and I was
wondering if you had some blue berries that I could borrow." When the
little rabbit didn't answer him back, Ralph decided to knock once
again and said,"Little rabbit, little rabbit let me come in."
Finally, after the wolf repeated himself a few times, the little
rabbit said, "No, not by the hairs of my little fluffy tail." Then
all of a sudden Ralph accidently took his paw off his nose and he
felt a sneeze coming on. So he huffed and he puffed and he blew a
great big sneeze. At that the little rabbit's house fell into
thousands of pieces and the rabbit lay there deader than a smashed
thumb tack. But instead of leaving the rabbit there to spoil in the
hot summer Arctic sun he decided to eat him for his
supper.
So Ralph didn't get to borrow his
four cups of berries after all. Instead the county police came and
picked him up and brought him to the jail. He was sentenced to life
in prison without porole. And that's how the people of Alaska thought
of the Big Bad Wolf.
