This is the second part in the Admirable's trilogy.

"We have to shoot this wolf, he's got rabies." this is what the authorities said of this animal who had dared come close to the village. A boy had spotted the tracks of this wolf. Everyday he brought food to the area, gradually building the trust of the animal and one morning he finally saw this "threat to man." Slowly, the starved animal moved away limping...he was injured. The third time he saw the wolf he realized that it was a female as he noticed two pups from afar. The next day, as he came to the site... no tracks, he heard a noise in the direction of which he ran and to his great despair discovered the female trapped in a snare! He releases her and hugs her. A spark of life appears in the eyes of the victim. The two pups came closer. The black one reminds the boy of a three legged wolf that once saved his life. Could it be his pup? He takes his gold medallion and ties it around the neck of the young wolf. the mother is doing much better and her ears point up as footsteps are heard. When the posse of hunters arrived at the site, all they found was an empty snare, the boot marks of a child and the tracks of "These Admirables Violents." Unbelievable they said. One man noticed an unusual pattern of snow on a tree. He couldn't figure out these markings, intrigued, he uses the blade of his knife as a mirror and in the reflection the letters completed themselves and revealed this message left by the Wonders of Nature. "BELIEVE JUST BELIEVE" the story.
