Monster! It has appeared! The Red Monster!!
The wolf cub had never been belittled like this. It unleashed an angry howl. Awooo —
But then, fearsome howling responded from all sides of the cave. It seemed more than one great monster lived in this cave.
Scared, the wolf cub fled the cave in panic.
The little critters learned to scare the wolf cub with the cave monster. Whenever it remembered the howling shadow, it would lose the courage to hunt.
What happened next...?
Well, the wolf cub was starving. Its steps grew unsteady, swaying as it moved. Soon, it found itself walking back to that cave.
The wolf cub saw it again, that great, moving shadow. It poised like it was ready to hunt.
Heh, our little king's shaking just like that wolf cub.
But ... aren't you scared...?
Not at all. If a monster comes out, I'll bite its head off!
Really...?
Really. So, feeling better already? Shall we continue the story?
Yes, please...
Anger filled the wolf cub's heart. It would rather die fighting than die of hunger!
Casting all thoughts aside, it pounced at the shadow in fury.
To its surprise, its body tore right through the "wall" and made a huge hole in it.
After all, the "monster" was just a piece of white cloth... The howls? Nothing but cave echoes.
Wait ... what?
Yeah. If you look back right now, the beast the wolf cub feared for so long — it never existed.
