To The Wolf, To The Wolf !

a long long time ago,
in the vast state of a tyrant emperor riots began popular
caused by the heavy taxes that weighed on the community...
the Sovereign partially repressed the revolts with the army,
but the productive activity of the people dropped dramatically
and consequently also the taxes and the wealth of the Empire itself decreased....

a solution was needed, and here it is.....
through his trusted vassals the greedy Emperor began to spread
Fallacious News concerning a pack of invisible werewolves
that roamed the squares every day causing sudden and inexplicable deaths...

so, during the plebeian insurrections
the vassals of the sovereign shouted :
TO THE WOLF, TO THE WOLF !
and the protests have subsided
for fear of being bitten.....
the ingenious and specious expedient.....
put in a good light the Emperor who was using his army no longer
to repress the people, but to defend them from the invisible werewolves,.....
and activities and tributes began to increase again amid the general discontent...

However, by dint of shouting to the sky,
TO THE WOLF, TO THE WOLF !
justified doubts began to spread among
the fearless supporters of popular justice,
and in the end they revealed the deception
by organizing a revolution and brought the
Tyrant Emperor and his court to the gallows.....

The End
