فَعَادَ الذِّئْبُ عَلَى أَحَدِهِمَا
Then a wolf came upon one of them.
الذِّئْب — the wolf. The al- marks this as the definite, specific wolf of the story. It is the doer of the action and follows its verb, so it takes the plain naming case Arabic assigns to the subject. Arabic introducing a 'the' noun like this often treats it as a known character stepping into the scene.
