Theme: Reincarnation
The Bad Wolf Reincarnated
The Bad Wolf, after swallowing Grandma, lay down on her
bed and waited for her granddaughter, Little Red Riding
Hood arrival.
When she arrived, he fooled the girl pretending to be
Grandma and ate her too. After this double meal, he felt
very sleepy and slept right there to do the digestion.
But the Wolf wasn’t successful because the hunter of the
forest, who was already looking for him, arrived and
realized what had happened, opened wolf´s belly with a
knife. He took out Little Red and Grandma from it who
were scared but alive. Then he placed heavy stones in
their place, closed the wolf's belly and before he knew
it they left.
The Wolf felt very thirsty after waking up and went to
the pond. Being very heavy, he got off balance and fell
into the water and drowned.
In fact, as no one dies, who died was his body that is
he disincarnated. The Wolf (in spirit) after being
awakened for some time awoke in the spirit world.
The landscape he saw now was not like the forest. It was
uglier, darker and he heard other howling wolves who
looked wicked like him. He looked for a better place but
could not find it. He thought about asking for help but
he could not remember anyone who was his friend or who
liked him. He remembered all the mischief he had done.
He felt very sad. He wished he had acted differently.
But now it was late. His time on Earth was over and his
body was dead.
He was desolated and cried regretfully. It was then that
he began to see a light. It was a good spirit that was
approaching.
The spirit explained that Wolf's sincere repentance had
called him; he was in charge of helping the bad wolves
to become good.
- What? - Wolf wondered. - Do you want to help me get
well? It won’t happen! I'm bad, I was created bad and I
always will be.
The good spirit then replied:
- No my friend you are mistaken. You, like all of us,
were created by God who is good and does not create bad
people. You just made mistakes because you still have to
evolve and learn to be good, that's all!
The Wolf was surprised at these words yet decided to
accept the invitation of the good messenger to accompany
him to the Regeneration Institute where they would meet
with specialized people who could help him.
When he arrived he was well greeted and attended by a
kindly and wise man who took the Wolf's file.
- Let's see how your last incarnation was - he said and
went on describing everything from birth, childhood,
youth, acts practiced, to his disincarnation in the
pond.
When he had finished reading, the Wolf ashamed of the
mischief he had practiced and thinking it was a hopeless
case, began to cry.
The new friends tried to talk to him. They explained
that he would have new opportunities, that every mistake
can be repaired and that God gives up on no-one. But the
Wolf was inconsolable, believing that he would forever
be alone and unhappy. It was then that his new friend
revealed to him that he was on the team of reincarnation
planning. His job was to plan the best opportunities so
that each one could make the most of their new
incarnations, promoting their moral learning,
reconciling with others and undoing mistakes.
The Wolf did not understand how this was possible. He
knew nothing about reincarnation, evolution, or planning
but he felt hope and stopped crying to hear better what
the good spirit was saying:
- My dear Wolf, come with me into the other room. To
strengthen your confidence and encourage you in your new
experiences, I have decided to show you what we have
planned for you.
Wolf, now calmer, followed him into the forecast TV
room, a device similar to TV, capable of showing scenes
of the future planned by them.
The Wolf sat curious and began to watch. Soon scenes of
the forest appeared which he knew so well. He saw the
hunter who had been his enemy for many years. Then there
appeared a shepherd's pup lost in the forest. The hunter
did not recognize the Wolf of other times, now in the
body of that handsome little animal, took him home and
took care of him.
He grew up and became a great watchdog with his temper
still a bit wild but a faithful friend of the hunter.
They lived together for a few years. Until one day the
former Bad Wolf saw a huge snake ready to attack. He
stepped over it to protect the hunter and took the sting
in his place. The dog disembodied, however, received all
the gratitude and affection of the one who had now
become his great friend.
The Bad Wolf was very touched but kept watching because
soon new scenes appeared.
He now appeared in the body of a medium-sized undefined
breed. His mistress was a very old and affectionate lady
whom he soon recognized as Little Red Riding Hood's
grandmother. The Wolf rejoiced in some scenes of
fellowship and care among them. His temper was already
more docile, he liked receiving Grandma's cuddles
although he was angry with strangers.
Next he was shown the day a thief tried to break into
Grandma's place. With great courage, he went over the
man. The thief ran away but in the fight he was able to
hit Grandma's dog with a stick, which he was badly
injured.
Grandma gratefully took care of him but even so he
disincarnated. He left the body again but took with him
another strong bond of friendship and affection that had
formed.
In front of the television screen, the Wolf was crying
with emotion. And the scenes kept going...
He had reincarnated this time as a small, hairy puppy
from a docile and clever temperament. It was given to
Little Red Riding Hood, now a girl who was in love with
him.
The little dog did not seem at all like the Bad Wolf who
had been before. He played, gave affectionate licks,
sought the hand of people to receive affection. He now
knew the feelings of friendship, trust, loyalty and
dedication. He gave and received love and was very
happy.
The projection ended and the Wolf moved asked:
- Am I really going to be like this?
- That is what we have planned although it will depend
on you on your free will. If your repentance was
sincere, you will have the strength to carry out your
regeneration and to evolve - replied his benefactor.
- It was sincere yes! - Said the Wolf - You'll see!
The Wolf thanked him for the help he was receiving and
soon afterwards was sent to other departments that would
prepare him for reincarnation. Surely much was yet to
come but much happier days awaited him soon.
