Moses and the white wolf

Some legends that we know from childhood seems to be forgotten and from time to time we want to remember the time we were kids, the time that the kindergarten told us the stories, the legends that we loved to hear all the time.

Usually the wolf in the legends is the symbol of the bad type, the one who kills, the one that we can't rely on, but not all the legends with the wolves goes like this. Today we are going to meet the white wolf that Moses met in the time he was a shepherd in Jethro's house and he saw a white wolf and he started to speak with him.

Now Moses didn't know that the white wolf is an angel. The white wolf said to
Moses: How are you the man of God?
Moses answered: could the animals speak, who is the one that gives them the ability to do so?
Then the white wolf told him that he would be the one who would be the leader of Israel that will write the Pentateuch and there will be the calf that will speak and also the she-ass...

It seems to be that Moses saw one more thing near to the burning bush and this is the white wolf........
