Welcome, little daughter,
I am Father Wolf.
Fear not, I am the first wolf,
the father of all our kind.
It is my honor to welcome
all of my children
when they finally make that journey home.
Why such a confused look?
Ah, the taste.
You are one of the lucky ones,
you brought with you
the taste of your human's tears from
your efforts to kiss away their sorrow.
Our memories are short for faces and such,
but we never forget the taste
of the tears of those we loved.
That's how you'll remember your people
when at last they come to join you.
Yes, the taste will be different then,
tears of joy are so much sweeter
than the bitter tears of sorrow.
But trust me, daughter,
you'll know.

Don't be afraid,
you'll soon see that your breed
is the most beloved of all our Maker's creations!
You make him smile!
You, of all the creatures on earth,
are the ones to first understand the great mystery!
The two-legged ones spend their lives
searching for the answer that was born into your soul
with your very first breath!
Never did you question the Creator
for all the pain and suffering of the world,
you knew these were merely the things of man.
You gave to Him the greatest praise of all,
you honored the gift he gave to you,
you lived!
And through that living
you found the true meaning of life.
You lived each day as the precious gift it was.
You brought great joy to your people,
and those around you!
Enough of the serious stuff,
now, come with me,
we'll chase butterflies,
and smell the flowers,
we'll dance with the Angels
and race with the Unicorns!
Hmmm,
you've never seen a Unicorn?
Well, daughter,
let me tell you about them....
