Raven Helps Wolf Remember
Raven swoops down in the woods and lands on a branch where a few wild ones are gathered. Wolf nudges Sprite.
Wolf: Do you remember her?
Sprite: Who?
Wolf: Her.
Sprite: Yeah I know her.
Coyote: Well, Wolf, at least you remember someone today.
Wolf: That’s Raven.
Raven: Hi Wolf.
Wolf: Hi Raven.
Raven: Hello.
Wolf: I remember you.
Raven: Yes you do today, don’t you?
Wolf: … and your secret name.
Raven: I don’t have a secret name.
Coyote: Wolf tries hard to remember everyone.
Sprite: That’s good, I guess. He never remembers me though.
Raven: It’s nothing personal if someone doesn’t remember you.
Sprite: I guess.
Coyote: Last time I saw Wolf was at a moon gathering. He thought he was a naked Leopard who’d lost his spots!
Raven: Ha, ha, that must have been something.
Wolf: Please!
Raven: I suppose some things are best not to remember. *Smiles*
Coyote: Ha, ha, ha!
Coyote: We had fun didn’t we Wolf?
Wolf: Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Sprite: I bet you did. He can be a real wild man.
Wolf: Ha, ha, ha!
Coyote: Yeah and he scared everyone off.
Wolf: Sorry.
Raven: They’re just poor sports I guess.
Wolf: I better go home.
Raven: Everything’s all right Wolf. That was in the past. You’re fine now.
Sprite: Why worry about it?
Wolf: *shrugs*
Sprite: You’re a good person even though you forgot me.
Wolf: Raven.
Wolf: I remember you.
Raven: You don’t always remember me Wolf. But that’s okay, what you don’t remember with your mind you remember with your heart.
Sprite: Good to know something on him is beaming signals.
Wolf: Sometimes I do remember.
Wolf: I remember close things.
Wolf: Hey Raven.
Wolf: I know you.
Raven: Yep, you remember me today.
Wolf: Yes.
Wolf: The one with shiny black wings.
Raven: Yep that’s me.
Wolf: Yes.
Wolf: I can trust you.
Coyote: Will he ever get better?
Raven: Who knows?
Wolf: I remember shiny black wings.
Raven: Yep.
Wolf: Ha, ha, ha!
Wolf: That’s why I remember you!
Raven: Yep
Wolf: *smiles*
Wolf: You and me.
Raven: Do you know about that? What raven’s are to wolves?
Wolf: Shiny black wings.
Raven: Ha. Yes we’re the ones with the black wings.
Wolf: I know.
Raven: Raven’s and wolves are forever friends. That’s the way it’s always been and so that is how it will always be. Maybe you can remember that?
Wolf: You’re so nice.
Raven: We show you prey from the high winds and you leave us something to eat in return.
Raven: Ravens are the winds that speak to the wolves and wolves are our fierce allies in the forest.
Wolf: Ok.
Raven: The winds that bring plenty and the eyes that stave hunger. Linked by our biology through all time.
Wolf: I remember some.
Raven: It’s okay if you have forgotten.
Wolf: Nooo!
Raven: Okay no.
Wolf: Nooo!
Raven: I’m wrong I guess.
Wolf: Yes.
Raven: Okay fine.
