Wolf s burial was prepared and his bones were placed on the hillside in the proper manner in a sacred place. Prayers were said. Complaining about Wolf had been fashionable, but no one wanted to be rid of him forever. All the animals came together and asked the Great Spirit to pick up Wolf s bones and give him life again somewhere else. When the prayers and songs ended, the animals returned to their homes, sadly humming the last song to themselves.
Someone has to challenge rules that have no reason or meaning.
That night the Great Spirit answered the animals prayers. The Great Spirit took Wolf s bones and spread them all over the earth. Every bone, every fragment of bone, became a wolf. The animals woke to an annoying clamor just before first light. In the early morning sky they saw Wolf s tears twinkling as shimmering stars.
