A young boy is lost in the frozen woods - it is only a matter of time before he freezes to death. A wolf approaches him, she is injured and also will die sooner rather than later. Her proposal to the boy is simple - she will let him kill her to use her meat for food and her pelt for warmth, as long as he in return stays to care for her cubs, which will also surely die without someone to look after them.
