THE WOLFMAN, my fairy-tale of the wolf
The artists
Once upon a time there was a strange man,
half wolf, half man, rejected by everybody.
Little John wanted to know the truth.
One night with full moon, he followed the wolfman.
The night falls over Guillaumes.
The night FALLS!!
The moon rises...
The man climbed a rock, and
he transformed into a wolf.
Little John returned the next full moon.
The wolfman told the story.
“Formerly, hunters, massacre, wolf-cubs, she-wolfs, injury...
witchcraft, wolf’s life, only a child, saving...
three ordeals with a commander’s mace, eye-tooth
and shoulders-blade of the wolf...”
He forces his way under a rock.
He crosses a lava-stream.
He repairs the skeleton and takes possesion of the wolf’s eye.
With one bite the wolfman shatters the eye.
Little John understands that the man wants to remain a wolf.
Bernard, would you please clean the blackboard?
You always have to leave behind your affairs properly.
