Isegrim kehrt nach Deutschland zurück. Der Wolf wird leider nicht nur in Märchen als böse und hinterlistig beschrieben. Wahrscheinlicher ist aber, dass Isegrim von uns Menschen als Nahrungskonkurrent betrachtet und deshalb über Jahrtausende verfolgt wurde. Dabei war die Art früher auch in ganz Europa verbreitet, wurde jedoch in West- und Mitteleuropa weitgehend ausgerottet. Deutschland wurde erst Ende der 1990er Jahre wieder besiedelt. Wölfe haben schon frühzeitig Eingang in die Mythen und Märchen vieler Völker gefunden, sie zählen daher zu den bekanntesten Raubtieren.

Wölfe: Wer mit Kindern eine längere Fahrt vor sich hat, der kennt sie, die berühmte Frage: Papa oder Mama, wann sind wir da? Meistens nerven die Sprösslinge mit dieser Frage schon nach den ersten Kilometern und stellen sie in regelmäßigen Abständen bis zum Fahrtziel garantiert immer wieder. Wenn aber noch etliche Kilometer vor ihnen liegen, dann ist guter Rat meistens teuer, gilt es doch, die Kinder bis zur ersehnten Ankunft zu beschäftigen. Genau zu diesem Zweck gibt es die "Hörgeschichten". Die sind manchmal lustig, manchmal spannend, aber immer informativ.
