THE STORY OF THE WEREWOLF

THE ORIGINAL WEREWOLVES WERE WOLVES, NOT PEOPLE. THEY WERE FROM
TRANSYLVANIA. WHEN THEY BIT PEOPLE, THEY TURNED THEM INTO WEREWOLVE
AND THE NEW WEREWOLVES COULD BITE OTHER PEOPLE AND TURN THEM INTO
WEREWOLVES. WHENEVER THE FULL MOON COMES OUT, THE WEREWOLVES SEARCH
AROUND FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO BITE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN. THEY ALSO
COMMIT OTHER KINDS OF DASTARDLY ACTS, LIKE BURNING DOWN HOUSES
WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN BED. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF FROM A
WEREWOLF IS BY SHOOTING HIM WITH A SILVER BULLET.
