The Story
The story begins when the Wolf King and his Lieutenants threaten to destroy Jako’s Valley unless he is accepted as their ruler. To enforce his will, the King has stationed a Wolf Lieutenant in each part of the Valley. After months of having to work hard and put up with the Lieutenant’s unreasonable demands, everyone is fed up. Didi and Ditto decide that they need a plan to bring an end to the Wolves’ rule over the Valley. Given that the King is very vain and proud of his species, Didi and Ditto decide to make a bet with the Wolf King: if they can prove that they are cleverer than the soldiers, the King and his Lieutenants will leave the Valley forever. To their great surprise, the Kings accepts. Now, all they have to do is pull their risky bet off! |
