THE WOLF OF GUBBIO

St Francis had the great respect towards nature he accepted every animal and birds as his brothers and sisters. Once in the town call Gubbio there was a large and ferocious wolf which was harming and killing to the people of that town. People told Francis of their sad plight. The saint took pity on them and resolved to meet the wolf and try, if he could, to convert him. Then St Francis soon reached to the place where the animal was known. At that instant, Francis traced the hallowed sign of the cross over it and called aloud : come here, brother Wolf , come I order you in the name of Christ , do no harm neither me nor anyone the Wolf immediately shut his head down and laid down at his feet .
