Oxford English Dictionary

By summer the little leaf was such a shiny deep green that Little Wolf wanted nothing more than to use it as a mirror.

What would you be willing to do to get something for someone else? Would you walk across the world? Would you draw a line around a mountain? Would you climb the highest tree? As Little Wolf watches Big Wolf climb from branch to branch, clinging to each slippery cold limb he wonders, is it worth it just to hold in his hand one beautiful, shining, soft, glorious leaf? He had been waiting so long for it, month after month, watching that lovely leaf, waiting for it to fall -- but it never did. Oh, but Big Wolf knew Little Wolf had been waiting for it and he wanted him to have it! This tender, gentle story reminds us that even the smallest beautiful thing really is worth the trouble after all.
