THE WENDIGO’S WINTER

WISH
BY : ANSH PATEL 9EHI6
In a magical forest, where the snow-covered trees sparkled like diamonds,
there lived a Wendigo named Wendy. The other creatures in the forest
were scared of him, believing the old tales that said Wendigos were
fearsome and dangerous.
But Wendy was different. He wasn't the fearsome
monster the stories depicted. He was lonely, for the
other animals kept their distance, never giving him a
chance to prove his true nature.
One snowy day, as Wendy the wendigo was sitting by a
frozen pond, he noticed a family of rabbits shivering in
the cold. The baby rabbits looked particularly chilly
and sad.
Wendy, despite his fearsome appearance, felt a surge of
compassion. He decided to help the rabbits by using his
powerful antlers to gather sticks and leaves, building a cozy
shelter for them.
The little rabbits found a warm and safe home and discovered that Wendy was a kind-hearted
creature, not a monster. In fact, Wendy was a gentle and caring creature who loved all the
animals, big and small. He spent hours tending to shelter and making sure all the creatures in the
shelter were happy and healthy.
The forest animals began to notice the change in Wendy's
behavior. He continued to help those in need, whether it was
providing food for hungry squirrels or keeping a watchful eye
on the owl's nest to protect it from harm.
As winter deepened, a powerful snowstorm approached the
forest. The animals were worried, knowing they needed to
gather food and prepare for the long, cold night.
The animals decided to ask Wendy for help. They
believed that with his strength and kindness, he could
save them from the harsh winter storm. Hesitant at
first, Wendy eventually agreed.
Together, all of the animals worked tirelessly, gathering food,
building shelters, and making sure everyone had what they needed
to survive the storm. The forest was a buzz of activity, and Wendy's
fearsome reputation was forever forgotten.
As the first snowflakes began to fall, the animals sat
together in their warm shelters. They realized that they
had come to love and appreciate Wendy for his generous
spirit. His wish to make friends had finally came true.
The winter storm raged outside, but the
forest was filled with warmth and laughter.
The creatures were no longer scared of
Wendy, and he was no longer lonely.
The Wendigo's Winter Wish had come true, and he had found the
true friends he had always longed for. The story ends on a place
of fear and mistrust, which has been transformed into a
immensely powerful place of unity and love.
