His own children abandoned the old man in the forest without food or water for the inheritance, hoping that wild animals would devour him – but what the wolf did shocked everyone

His own children abandoned the old man in the forest without food or water for the inheritance, hoping that wild animals would devour him – but what the wolf did shocked everyone 

The forest sank into deep darkness. On the damp ground, at the foot of an old oak tree, sat an elderly man. His breathing was heavy, his hands trembled from the cold, and his eyes were full of despair. His own children had brought him here and left him like a useless object.

— Lord… could it really be…? — he whispered, folding his hands in prayer.

At that moment, a branch snapped. Then another. Rustling sounds were approaching. The old man tried to get up, but his body would not obey. His eyes searched the darkness until a wolf suddenly appeared from the bushes.

The animal stepped slowly onto the path. Its fur glimmered in the moonlight, its eyes shone. The wolf bared its teeth and moved closer.

The wolf did not attack. It came almost all the way, stopped, and then… lowered its head and howled softly, as if speaking to the old man.

The man, not understanding what was happening, reached out his hand – and the creature did not flinch. On the contrary, it allowed him to touch its thick fur.

And then the old man remembered. Many years ago, when he was still full of strength, he had found a young wolf in the forest caught in a poacher’s trap.

At that time, he was not afraid and, risking his own life, had opened the terrible iron jaws, freeing the animal. The wolf had run away without even looking back… But apparently, it remembered.

Now this solitary forest predator bowed before the man, as if before his savior. The wolf lowered itself even more, signaling: sit.

With difficulty, almost without strength, the old man grabbed the animal’s powerful neck. The wolf rose and carried him through the dark forest. The old man heard branches crack under its paws, shadows of other animals flitting nearby, but no one dared approach the pair.

After a few kilometers, a light appeared ahead – the village. People, hearing the barking of dogs, ran outside and saw the incredible: a huge wolf carefully laid the elderly man, exhausted but alive, at their gate.

When the old man was finally safe, under the roof of kind people, he wept. Not from fear, but from realizing that the beast had been more human than his own children.
