Luke woke to a loud yelp done by his younger brother, followed by a scream of “Dad”. While Luke opened his eyes, he heard his father running towards them, only to gasp at seeing Luke.
Luke looked up at them from the ground yawning. “Why aref … arf… you soof … woof… loud… woof… Kevin.” He didn´t really understood what was wrong in that second.
Both Kevin and his father looked shocked at him as Luke stood up on all fours and shook himself to get his body more awake. He then noticed where he stood. “Ohf yeah … yip… yip… I fell … arf … asleep on … woof… the ground… woof.”
That brought his dad over the shock enough to ask: “Luke? Is that you?”
Luke looked at him a bit confused. “Yeah … yip… why … yip… wouldn´t … woof… I be me… arf?”
“But you are a wolf, Luke. How is that?” Kevin asked also confused.
Luke begun scratching himself with his right hind-paw while he answered: “Yeah… yip… something toof doof with ourrrr… arf… uncles present… arf”
There was a bit of silence, only broken by Luke´s scratching his muzzle. Then Kevin asked: “Then why do you act like a wolf? Or maybe more a dog?”
Without stopping to scratch himself Luke answered: “It… yip… felts natural … arf…”
“I will ask uncle John what that´s all about” their dad said, walking out. Kevin looked fascinated at Luke, who stopped scratching himself to follow their dad.
His dad was already on the phone, waiting for an answer to his call. Finally, John picked it up. “Hello Mike.” “Hey John. How did you know it was me?” he put the phone on speaker.
“I guess Luke has worn his present?” came the answer. “Yeah … yip… I have… arf” answered Luke.
“Oh, you can still somewhat speak? Interesting…” John said. “What have you done to my son, John?” asked Mike getting angry.
“Relax Mike. It should be a funny prank, maybe usable as a realistic costume. I will come over soon and we can remove it if Luke wants that.” John replied.
“That would be better, John” Mike said, still angry. Luke whined in: “But dad … arf… I like it… yip…” A sigh escaped Mike. “I will come over and we see what we do, okay” said John before ending the call.
