Happy Wolf Gets Chubby
Happy Wolf was skinny and small, and Wolf Mom was very worried. She tried every way to make the meat delicious. Look! Barbecue pork, braised pork, steamed ribs, bone broth, fried chicken legs… the table was full of dishes.
But eating meat every day made Wolf Dad uncomfortable, and Happy Wolf couldn’t gain weight. He kept shouting, “I don’t want to eat meat! I don’t want to eat meat!”
Look at the rabbit family next door, the baby bunnies were chubby and white. “The food Rabbit Mom makes must be delicious, the bunny babies are getting chubbier by the day!” Wolf Mom decided to ask Rabbit Mom for advice.
Rabbit Mom said, “If you want the most delicious food, nothing beats carrots!”
So, Wolf Mom started making carrot feasts: carrot pancakes, carrot soup, cold shredded carrots, stir-fried carrot slices…
Now, Happy Wolf should gain weight, right? Unexpectedly, the more he ate, the skinnier he got, almost light enough to be blown away by a breeze.
Wolf Mom was worried sick, but Wolf Dad was even more worried. He said, “Dear, we can’t eat carrots every day, I’m so hungry I could swallow a deer whole!”
Wolf Mom quickly sought Rabbit Mom’s advice again. Rabbit Mom said, “My bunny babies love mushrooms, they always eat until their bellies are round!”
So, Wolf Mom started making mushroom feasts: mushroom pancakes, mushroom soup, cold shredded mushrooms, stir-fried mushroom slices…
This time, Happy Wolf should gain weight, right? Unexpectedly, the more he ate, the skinnier he got, almost light enough to be blown away by a big sneeze.
Wolf Dad looked very downhearted too. He sighed and said, “Dear, we can’t eat mushrooms every day, I’m so hungry I could swallow an elephant whole!”
Just as Wolf Mom was about to make a cabbage feast, Happy Wolf angrily shouted, “I don’t want to eat cabbage! I don’t want to eat cabbage!”
At this point, Wolf Mom had no choice. She put meat, mushrooms, carrots, and cabbage all into a pot and made a big stew, simmering it for an hour and a half!
Unexpectedly, the stew tasted wonderful, and everyone ate until their bellies were round! Happy Wolf even burped three times in a row and kept saying, “We should eat like this from now on!”
Soon, Happy Wolf became stronger and stronger. He could run as fast as a cheetah and jump as high as a kangaroo!
Wolf Mom became the best mom in the forest. Fox Mom came! Bear Mom came! Crocodile Mom also came… everyone came to ask Wolf Mom for advice.
Hey! Wolf Mom had only one sentence: “You need to eat both meat and vegetables!”
