Jack London - White Fang

White Fang's father is a wolf, a mother, Kichi, half a she-wolf, half a dog. For the present, he does not have a name. He was born in the Northern Glush and survived the only one of the whole brood.

In the North, we often have to starve, which killed his sisters and brothers. A father, a one-eyed wolf, soon dies in an unequal fight with a trot. The wolf-cub and mother remain together, he often accompanies the wolf to hunt and soon begins to comprehend the "law of prey": eat - or eat you yourself.

A wolf cub can not articulate it clearly, but simply lives by it. In addition to the law of extraction, there are many others that should be obeyed. Life, playing in the wolf cub, the forces that control his body, serve him as an inexhaustible source of happiness.

The world is full of surprises, and one day on the way to the brook a wolf cub comes across unfamiliar creatures - people. He does not run away, but crouches down to the ground, "stiff with fear and ready to express the obedience with which his distant ancestor went to a man to warm himself by the fire that he had bred."

One of the Indians comes closer, and when his hand touches the wolf, he grabs her with his teeth and immediately gets hit on the head.

A wolf cub whines with pain and horror, his mother hurries to his aid, and suddenly one of the Indians imperiously cries: "Kichi!", Recognizing in her his dog ("her father was a wolf and mother dog"), ran away a year ago, when once again there was a famine.

Fearless mother wolf, to the horror and amazement of a wolf cub, crawls to the Indian on his belly. Gray Beaver once again becomes Kichi's master. He now owns a wolf cub, to whom he gives the name - White Fang.
