Once, a boy lived near a forest. He looked at the forest from his rooftop. He had heard many stories about the jungle. He wanted to fight against an animal too. One day, the boy saw a wolf near his house. From the rooftop, the wolf did not look dangerous. The boy decided to scare the wolf away. He shouted from the roof, “Hey you! Why are you standing here? Be off or I will set my dogs on you.” The wolf said meekly, “I was just passing by.” The wolf knew he was in the enemy territory. The boy kept shouting at the wolf. He was stunned by his own courage. Suddenly, the wolf said, “It is very safe to be brave from a safe distance.” Then the wolf growled loudly at the boy. The boy got scared and ran inside the house.
