The time was upon the wolf once more to fill his stomach with something small yet fulfilling and the male was growing increasingly bored of rabbit. He was sure that if he devoured just one more rabbit he would sprout long furry ears and his tail would shorten to a small tuft and he would be come the worlds firt wolf-rabbit hybrid. Shuddering at the thought of such a mutation he decided on a change of tact. Maybe a fish lunch was the better way to go right now.
Turning his nose to the air he inhailed deeply closing his eyes to seperate each smell and sound in his mind. First there was the wolf, that was an easy one. Then the bears and ther large preditors, always good to know where to avoid these. Then there were the smaller mammals, the rabbits, mice, rats and the like. Finally there was the distinct mix of silt, salt, mud and finally what he was looking for, fish. Smiling with his tongue lolling out of his mouth he proceeded in the direction of what he presumed was a stream.
Travelling west his stream turned out to be a river. Raising an unsure eyebrow he surveyed the area and the curning of the fast flowing waer made him dizzy just watching. After a time though his eyes slid the edge of the bank when the water was calmer and he could see the river bed and floating just above it, his prize.
In an over-eager manner he jumped in head first banging his nose on the river bed and coming away empty and frustrated. Time did not aid the problem as more passed there were more frustrated attempted at catching the slithery little creatures until he was stood at the rivers edge barking away at the water angrily, dripping wet above his shoulders looking a very pathetic excuse for an adult wolf.
