Hungry like the wolfs

                                Hungry like the wolfs

Once upon a time, there was a prince not like the others. He was very little, the size of a imp. He was hairy and had a small pair of glasses so round that he looked like a cyclops. That prince had a dream, a very precise dream : saving the princess, but not every princess. The most beautiful princess of Eriadire’s county. Many princes tried in the past to rescue her on the top of her tower, but a savage beast, a poodle named Pholos, created by the father of the princess, ate them all. Our uncommon prince passed trough a hundred villages, ten forests and built a raft to cross a thousand rivers and find the princess. But the prince had a problem : he couldn’t stop eating everything he finds. In every village that he crossed, he was so hungry that he needed to eat about twenty wild boars prepared on a wood fire. But at the times passes, he was getting so fat that we couldn’t walk anymore. Despite his weight, he was so passionate that he wouldn’t let anything go between him and the princess. After days and a lot of villages, he finally arrived at the bottom of the tower. He turned around and around without finding the entrance. After his fourth turn, he came nose-to-nose with an other prince named Arthur who also wanted to save the princess. They both had a sword fight in which the prince’s weight was a disability. He was less fast, less lively, less everything than prince Arthur. But his love for the princess was so deep that he fought with all his heart. He finally defeated Arthur by using his stomach as a shield.

He didn’t killed but scared his enemy by chocking him with all of the wild boars he ate.  After his fight, he was really tired so he rested a bit before saving the princess. There was still so much to do. There was the beast on the top of the tower. He crossed the village walking with confidence and purpose. He was convinced of his beauty and his charm. Marry the princess will be an easy thing. He was warned by all the villagers that he was going to fail. On his way to the real tower (because the other one was a fake), he was so starved that he stopped by a tavern to satisfy his hunger. But the dozen wild boars he ate was too much his poor stomach could support. He couldn’t even walk because of his fatness.

This is where a peasant, feeling sorry for him, offered him to take him to the tower in his wain.  Finally, after many efforts, the prince arrived at the princess’s tower. On the foot of the stairs, there was written : 200 steps until the room of the princess. The prince desperatly climbed everyone of them but stopped every 10 steps to take a nap. In the end, he saw the door of the room, guarded by the beast (which was a poodle by the way). Exhausted by the climbing, the prince simply fell on the beast and smashed it. This belly was definitely a useful thing ! Our lovely prince opened the door and saw the princess. Some extraordinary happened. She just jumped into his arms and kissed him. They lived happily ever (they did a lot of banquets !), proving us that physical appearance doesn’t matter when it comes to love.
