Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a wildlife refuge. This was a place where all kinds of animals could live and be safe from harm. However, there was one animal who was causing trouble for everyone else. His name was Max, and he was a big and strong wild boar. Max was always making a lot of noise, and he was scaring all the other animals.

The people who worked at the wildlife refuge knew they had to do something to help Max. They didn't want to hurt him, but they needed to make sure he was no longer a danger to the other animals. So, they called in an accredited psychologist. This was a person who was trained to help animals with their psychological problems.

The psychologist talked to Max and found out that he was just lonely. Max didn't have any friends, and he felt like nobody liked him. The psychologist came up with a plan to help Max. He would bring in a new friend for Max to play with. This friend would be a friendly and gentle goat named Billy.

Max was a little nervous at first, but he soon realized that Billy was a great friend. They played together, went on walks, and even slept next to each other at night. Max was no longer lonely, and he was no longer causing trouble.

However, there was one more step that needed to be taken to make sure Max was completely safe. Max was still a little wild, and the people at the wildlife refuge didn't want him to accidentally hurt someone. So, they decided to tranquilize him. This means they gave Max a special medicine that would make him calm and sleepy.

Max was a little upset at first, but he soon realized that this was for his own good. He slept for a few hours and then woke up feeling much better. Max was now a happy and friendly animal who no longer caused any problems. He lived the rest of his life at the wildlife refuge, playing with Billy and all the other animals.

And that's the story of how Max the wild boar became a happy and peaceful animal.
