The Last Wolf: Part 1

By MICHAEL MORPURGO

'You're an ostrich, Grandpa,' Miya told me, sitting herself down on my bed and peeling an orange for me.

'And why's that then?' I asked her.

'Because whenever you see something you don't like, you just bury your head in the sand and pretend it's not there.'

It was an old argument between us, not that you'd call it an argument as such, more of a tease.

But whatever it was, I knew that sooner rather than later she was going to wear me down. Miya was determined to drag me into the twenty-first century whether I like it or not.
