One day, Moon Moon lay in his den with his head on his paws, staring out and into the snow drifts of another long winter. Suddenly, he saw a very weird creature. It looked like a horse, but had stripes. It stumbled by slowly, limping heavily on a damaged leg. Curious, and also very hungry, Moon Moon followed the injured thing and got into attack formation. If he could just prove himself. Show that he wasn't the silly pup that everyone thought he was, then maybe he would finally be happy. Right before he was about to leap, the horse-with-stripes turned and saw him. Moon Moon froze, unsure of how to continue on. The creature looked up at him, fear in its eyes as it waited for death. It didn't beg, didn't plead, didn't do anything but stare at Moon Moon in abject horror, sure it was about to be ripped to shreds.

Moon Moon stared at the creature, an internal battle raging within him. He shouldn't feel sympathy for the injured thing, he should be the predator he was born to be and bring dinner home to his pack... but he didn't move. Finally, with a small whine, he lowered his head to the horse-with-stripes. The creature was confused at first, but managed a weak smile as it realized that its life had been spared.

It was at that moment, that Moon Moon heard the worst of his pack coming up behind him. The creature in front of him let it's face show its fear once again, as it was caught off guard by the much fiercer looking wolves. "Look boys, Moon Moon finally got something!" The ringleader of the bullies said, stepping in front of him. "Go ahead Moon Moon. Show it who's boss. Unless you're scared that is."

Moon Moon looked at the other animal, sorrow in its eyes. What he was about to do, he had to do for the pack. He had to assert himself and be the powerhouse he knew he was inside. The creature looked on, unable to run, unable to believe what was about to happen.

Moon moon crouched down and then, with a great leap, jumped---Right onto the ring leader of the horrible bully group. The leader yelped and attempted to knock Moon Moon off, but it was no use. Moon Moon felt something inside him grow, and with each kick and bite, he felt the sweet release of all the horrors he had taken as the pack punching bag. After all the dust and snow cleared, Moon Moon turned his muzzle toward the other bullies that had made his life miserable. However, he noticed that they were all laying on their backs, showing their bellies to him. By defeating the leader of their age group, Moon Moon and unwittingly became the leader.

The first thing he did as the new leader, was nuzzle the old leader he had defeated, helping him up and out of the snow. With a nod of apology, the past was put behind them.

The horse-with-stripes had never moved from her spot.

Moon Moon approached, and stood in front of her, blocking her from the other wolves. He lifted his nose up, and the wolves all nodded in understanding. The horse-with-stripes was now a friend of the pack, and would never be harmed as long as she did no harm. Moon Moon turned around, placed his back under the injured leg, and helped the creature back to his den. Little did he know, that in the small act of kindness he had shown to the defenseless creature, that he had gained a loyal companion for life. The horse-with-stripes, or a zebra as he came to learn, never left his side, best friends until the end of their days.
