"True Story" (Reproduce on canvas as a gallery wrap)

I was told this story by an old Indian guide. It happened in the month of May, years ago when he found a doe who didn't survive gunshot wounds. Her fur was still warm and he could tell she had newborns but there was no trace of them.

Farther, as he kept walking facing the wind, looking for the young fawns, he came upon two wolves laying down with their young but on second look, no, they weren't pups they were the baby deer he was looking for. He admired what he saw and did not interfere, instead, he tried to understand and learn from it. 

The following day, when he returned to the site, the wolves were gone and the deer, despite starvation, had never been hurt. 

When he finished his story, the old guide added: "Contrary to man, nature will take only what it needs not what it wants, up to the extreme of this unbelievable "True Story"
