A Story About A Wolf

It was the year 1980 when Andy saw his first wolf. He said he was out checking his martin traps and he met up with Nick Andrew. They talked for a while and then Andy told Nick he was going over to Willow Creek then head on home. While on his way home, Andy saw a grey object running across the tundra. He decided to chase it with his snow machine. Then after a couple of minues of chasing, he caught up to the animal. He saw then that it was a wolf that he was chasing. He was about 25 feet away from it and he tried to find his pistol. He was trying to pass the wolf to shoot at it, but all of a sudden his snow machlne ski broke and he crashed. He kept looking for his pistol to shoot the wolf, but after finding it he saw that the wolf was too far away to shoot it. Knowing he was safe the wolf stopped running and stood and watched him for a while. Then he ran off across the tundra. From that day to this he has never seen another wolf.
