More Writting and Symbolism of Wolves

Wolf's Ghost
In a village in the Western desert there lived a herdman named Ts'ang. His wife noticed that of late he had not been eating when he returned from their ger, and she asked him where he had his meat.
He replied, "My wife, it is this way. I kept on passing the temple at the oasis where the wolf's skin hangs in honor of the gods, and I could not resist jumping into it. When I do so I become a wolf. The next time I turn into a wolf, however, I fear that I will eat you. Please do this. Tomorrow bar the door. Leave a straw figure filled with pig's intestines by the door outside. Do this and I will spare you."
The next day the wolf came to the ger and tried to break down the door. When he failed he had at the straw figure.
Ts'ang's fellow villagers came with clubs and hatchets and chased him away. Someone cut off a piece of his tail.
Ts'ang never returned. Every now and then a herdman will report that he has seen a bobtailed wolf against the hills, howling sadly to himself, voicing his sorrow.
