Scan the following version, complete the outline and explore its theme.
In Hoh Xil’s wilds, a skinny wolf walked alone. Injured and away from his pack, his fur was not shiny anymore. He moved quietly along a road in search of food, not minding the loud cars. Little by little, he came closer to humans, curious but cautious.
One day, driven by hunger, he dared to take a risk. With doubt, he smelled the snacks left by travellers and took a bite. Surprisingly, they tasted really nice, and he couldn't help but come back for more. Every day, he ate from humans, and soon he looked better. His fur got smooth again. He waited by the road, hoping for friendly treats, sometimes even asking like a dog.
But inside him, as his wound healed, something wild began to call. He started to remember his old life, the joy of running and hunting. The taste of freedom appeared more attractive than that of the offerings from tourists. The humans, realizing it was not right to feed him, no longer provided him handouts. When his injury was finally gone and he could hunt again, he stopped taking food from people. He went back to the big, open land, strong and free once more, living like his great, proud family before him.
