Translated by Pu Songling from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio: Wolf
There was a story called Wolf in Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. The following is the translation of the story: One day, a wolf came to a village and wandered around looking for food. Coincidentally, an old man was feeding the chickens and wolves, so he went forward to snatch the chicken food. When the old man saw it, he picked up a branch and wanted to hit the wolf. However, the wolf dodged the old man's attack and continued to snatch the chicken food. The old man saw the wolf's behavior and asked,"why do you treat the old man so maliciously?" The wolf replied,"I am the old wolf. He is my food." The old man was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he taught the wolf,"People should respect others and not maliciously attack others." Even if you are food, you should respect the elderly and not hurt them." The wolf listened to the old man's words and felt deeply guilty. From then on, he no longer treated others maliciously, but respected others and life.
