The child that wounded the wolf.

Juan Simón, was a boy who spends his time in the streets of Caracas selling sweets in order to help his mother. Juan, like every day, was walking through the center, checking each footprint as if searching for something, when suddenly his eyes could not believe it, he had found an object that he could not identify, he approached slowly and could realize that it was a box with something very bright inside, maybe it was a precious stone or something, he came a little closer as if wanting nobody else to see it and in that a big hairy figure got in his way, it was a huge wolf looking at him fixedly!!! Juan heard in his head a voice telling him not to get closer than that treasure belonged to him. Juan a little confused could not understand how he heard the voice of that wolf, but he was filled with courage and decided to fight and with all his strength he hit the wolf and could leave him wounded and he took that box with the treasure, he ran like never before in his life , ran looking back to make sure that the wolf was not chasing him in that fell into a huge hole that made him feel a void in his stomach, only to then wake up startled and realize he was in his bed, he wondered about his treasure As he looked towards his side his mother hugged him and a light that filtered through the ceiling illuminated his face, Juan understood that his treasure was his beautiful mother.
