Zzzzzzzz....

Lorraine, flew into this world on a mission.

And.....

Although she could always magically make her mom smile, she made her very tired too.

From the beginning....

Lorraine was spunky.

She wasn't very clean.

She wasn't very quiet.

She was never still.

She was never full.

but....

Lorraine had goals.

She had an imagination larger than the Globe.

She had determination and bravery that would make a black bear cower away.

And...

She had the most pure and loving heart that echoed along in the path she walked.

Lorraine loved the little town she lived in where

everyone got along.

One day, she was walking in the woods and came upon a wolf dressed and walking on just two of his legs.

"Hi, there Mr. Wolf. I see you are walking on two legs there. You've got some real skills."

The wolf bowed his head and whispered; "I... don't think I am very skilled at all. Wolves aren't supposed to walk upright. I was thrown out of my pack because I wasn't the same."

Lorraine gasped; "Oh my gosh! You talk too? You are very complicated indeed."

The wolf nodded his head.

Lorraine pondered for a moment. "Well, are you nice too? You see, I live in a nice town. We don't care about how different you are. The only rule is you have to be nice."

"Another one of my downfalls." said the Wolf. "I always got in trouble for playing with the rabbits instead of catching them."

Lorraine smiled; "I think you will fit right in." and they began walking to Lorraine's house.

As they reached Lorraine's house, the excitement grew.

"Mom! We have a visitor! I met a new friend. Meet, Mr. Wolf."

Lorraine's mother starred with great fear.

"Lorraine, what made you bring an animal in this house? ...An..and how did you dress him?"

"I didn't. said Lorraine. "He walks, and talks, and fancies the finest of linens! Isn't he brilliant?"

"With all do respect, Mr. Wolf, you cannot stay here. You possess skills that are too unique, too different for our town. I'm sorry."

Now, Lorraine didn't like this answer at all.

"Just because Mr. Wolf has special talents or doesn't appear the same, shouldn't decide if he fits in or not. Besides, he can teach us a few things about being nice."

Mother sighed; "That's my Lorraine. Alright then, Mr. Wolf will have to convince the townspeople. If he does that, he can stay."

Lorraine cheered with joy and gave her mother the biggest, tightest hug.
