· Alta, Norway
First green.
From the journal of the Wolf of the North · a work of fiction
Grass appeared by the Haug family's well just as a hungry reindeer began defending it. The children needed water, and their grandfather had already tried twice to reach the pump.
I carried their buckets from the stream until we could open a second path to the grass. The animal chose the green and left the well alone. A good rescue can be as quiet as moving a fence.
