The Wolf and the Crane

My ASL version of Aeosp’s “The Wolf and the Crane” for my ASL 2 class, Spring 2008 at Berkeley City College (BCC).
I will you a story titled “The Wolf and the Crane.”
A long time ago, far far away, there were mountains, a forest and a river running through the middle. It was Spring and the animals were waking up. There were flowers in bloom everywhere and the trees were green. Up in the mountains lived a wolf. He has ears, a medium snout, lots of sharp teeth and a grey body. He’s not popular, can’t trust him, he’s mean and rude. Now the wolf wakes up and says “I’m hungry. Where’s some food?” He searches for food but cannot find any in the mountains. He looks around and sees the forest. “Ah over there in the forest! Animals live there. I’ll go.” The wolf walks down and searches the forest and finds a dead bear. He munches on it very fast and then starts to cough and choke. He has a sudden pain in his throat. “Help me! Help me!” He calls out. He crawls through the forest. “Help me! Help me! My throat hurts!” He continues to crawl and sees a turtle over at the river.
Wolf: “Hey! Please help me. My throat hurts.”
Turtle (slowly): “I’m slow. I can’t help you. I’m scared. Right now, I’m running away” and the turtle runs off.
Wolf: “Whatever go away” and he returns to the forest. “Help me! Help me! Help me!” cries out the wolf. The animals hear the wolf. “Oh no! The wolf is coming! RUN!!!” and all the animals leave the forest.
One week goes by and the wolf returns to the river and sees a crane. She has a white thin body and neck and a long, thin orange beak. She’s patient, nice, and soft hearted.
Wolf: “Hey! Hey. Please help me! Please, my throat hurts.”
Crane: “You want to eat me! No!”
Wolf: “No, no. One week ago, I was eating and my throat started to hurt. Please help me.”
Crane: “Who were you eating? My friend?”
Wolf: “No I found a dead bear. Please help me. Help me and I’ll pay you.”
Crane: “You’ll pay me? How?”
Wolf: “With fish. Do you like fish? Many different fish.”
Crane: “I’m a bird and I like fish. Ok, fine. I’ll help you. Open your mouth.”
The wolf opens his mouth showing his sharp teeth. The crane puts her beak in and sees a bone, about 4 inches long, thin with a pointed end and color white. She reaches in the wolf’s mouth and takes it out. The wolf is happy and begins to walk away.
Crane: “Hey! Hey! You said you would paid me!”
Wolf: “I’m hungry. You look good. Hm…”
“Eep!” says the crane and she runs away.
The crane never helps the wolf again.
Story moral: Some people, you can’t trust and are not honest. If you help them, you can’t think or expect that later, those people will help you back.
