The Broken Promise An adaptation of The Boy and The Wolves I was sitting in the heavy sheets of rain, building mud castles, and wearing only my leggings and breechcloth. I stood up and walked into my families wigwam, and saw my mother huddled over my sick father. “Kuckunniwi gather Viho, and Asha” my mother politely asked. Viho and Asha were named after important parts of our lives. I ran out yet again into the pouring rain and shouted, “Asha, Viho, come quickly.” They swiftly climbed down there trees, and quietly followed behind me.

We all slept badly that night, and had to wake terribly early to prepare for him to leave. The goodbye was incredibly hard too. Things had been fine after he left, which was what we expected, but we didn’t expect for him to not return after a few weeks. “ Sister when is Viho going to return home,” I asked my sister day after day.
