Little Eagle, a lively youngster, approached his wise grandfather, White Mountain, late one afternoon with tears in his eyes. "Grandfather. There is so much about the ways of life that I do not understand. There are some boys who are mean to me and they always want to fight. I'm not afraid of them but I do not want to fight. Why are they so mean?"
White Mountain looked lovingly at his grandson and thought for a moment. "There are two wolves in my heart that are engaged in a ferocious battle," he said. Little Eagle wiped his teary cheeks and stared up in wonder at his aging Grandfather. "One wolf," the Grandfather continued, "is evil. He is a very vengeful, angry, and violent wolf. He is deceptive and makes trouble everywhere he goes. The other wolf is good and he is our friend. He brings peace, love, joy and all of the great virtues wherever he goes. These two wolves battle inside the hearts of every man, woman and child who walk this Earth." The grandfather paused again, then went on. "This battle is raging inside the hearts of those boys who taunt you, Little Eagle. "In fact, this same battle is going on inside of you too. It is a terrible struggle."
Little Eagle pondered this new idea and thought some more about the mean boys. "But, Grandfather," he asked with great curiosity, "which one of these wolves will win this great battle?"
"Ah! That is a very wise question, Little Eagle," the Grandfather replied. "The wolf that wins is the one that you feed the most."
