Some Exciting News

“Hi, Ethan!” called Zoe, waving as she slipped into the wolf enclosure. “We’ve come to play with Shadow, is that OK?”

Ethan waved back. “Of course, Zoe!”

It was the following day, and Zoe had rushed back from school as quickly as she could, desperate to visit Shadow again. She had managed to persuade Meep to come along too, even though her lemur friend was still nervous about playing with the wild little wolf. All the way to the enclosure, they’d heard Shadow howling noisily, just like yesterday. But when they arrived and Shadow saw them both, he started barking happily and wagging his little tail. Zoe went straight over to him and knelt down, and Shadow gave her hand lots of excited licks.

Ethan said, “He looks very pleased to see you! You know, he hasn’t started to calm down yet. I’ve hardly been able to keep up with him today – I’m exhausted! He’s really keen to play-fight, like he would with other wolves in his pack.” Ethan showed her a few scratches on his hands and arms from where Shadow had got overexcited. “I brought him a new ball, but he chewed it up straightaway!” he added with a tired smile, nodding at a few shredded bits of blue plastic on the ground.

As soon as Meep heard this, he leaped straight on to Zoe’s shoulder. “I’m staying up here today!” the little lemur said firmly. “What if Shadow thinks I’m a bouncy ball too?”

“Don’t be such a scaredy-lemur,” Zoe whispered back when Ethan disappeared into a store cupboard to fetch something. “Shadow won’t hurt you!”

Ethan came back with a long, smooth plastic sheet and a tray of ice cubes. “But I have found something Shadow loves – watch!” he told Zoe.

He spread the plastic sheet out on the ground and shook the ice cubes into the palm of his hand. Shadow watched, his head cocked to one side and his tail wagging. Then Ethan slid the ice cubes along the piece of plastic – and with a yelp of excitement Shadow pounced after them! Zoe giggled as the funny little pup chased the ice cubes around the plastic, nudging them forward with his nose so that they shot away from him, and then sliding and skidding along behind them.
