She stuck a hand up to push him away, but he got his teeth on it and bit it off!Ī couple of people fainted when they saw that and a bunch more began yelling and running. He rolled her over onto her back and bared his teeth. She was screaming at the top of her lungs, but nobody tried to help her. One woman wasn't quick enough, and the wolf-man leaped on her and dragged her to the ground. People screamed and those nearest him leaped from their seats and ran.

I nearly screamed myself, except I didn't want to look like a baby. Lots more people screamed when he roared. He shook the bars of the cage and roared. His eyes were yellow and his teeth were red. He had a long bushy beard, which covered most of his face. He only wore a piece of cloth around his middle, like Tarzan, so we could see his hairy legs and belly and back and arms.
