Day 6
The Indian laughed. 'Look!' he said. 'White fangs!'
The other Indians laughed loudly. 'Bring him here!' they said.
The first man put his hand near the cub again – and the cub moved quickly to bite it. Immediately the Indian hit the cub on the head and knocked him to the ground.
The four other Indians started to laugh again, but they stopped when they heard a noise. The cub heard it, too. It was his mother coming.
The angry she-wolf ran into the middle of the little group and growled loudly. The men quickly moved away from the cub.
Then one of them looked at the she-wolf in surprise. 'Kiche!' he called.
The she-wolf stopped growling and a strange light came into her eyes.
'Kiche!' the man said again. And now the she-wolf became quiet and lay down on her stomach.
The cub did not understand. He was surprised to see the Indian put his hand on the she-wolf's head, and even more surprised when she didn't bite him. After this, the other men came across and touched the she-wolf and spoke to her.
'Her father was a wolf, but her mother was a dog,' one of the Indians said. 'Do you remember, Three Eagles?'
'Yes, Grey Beaver,' a second man said. 'She ran away a year ago.'
'Yes. Because there was no food for the dogs,' Grey Beaver said. 'And since then she has lived with the wolves.'
He put his hand on the cub, and the cub growled and showed his fangs. Grey Beaver immediately hit him on the nose and the cub closed his mouth. Then the Indian rubbed the cub's head between the ears, and up and down his back.
'His father was a wolf,' Grey Beaver said. 'This cub is more wolf than dog. His fangs are white, so his name will be White Fang. He is my dog because Kiche was my brother's dog, and my brother is dead.'
Grey Beaver tied Kiche to a small tree. White Fang watched him, then went and lay down beside his mother. After a time, more man-animals arrived. There were about forty men, women and children, and everyone was carrying something. There were dogs and young puppies, too, and these dogs carried heavy bags on their backs. They saw the wolf cub and ran and jumped on him, but the Indians chased them away.
White Fang learned something from this. These man- animals did not bite or fight, but they had power over other animals.
The group of Indians started to move away, and a small boy took Kiche and walked with her. White Fang followed them, worried about this new adventure.
They walked along beside the stream until it met the Mackenzie River. Here the Indians made their camp.
