Quoted By:
Wilhelm was aghast. The horrible beast had eyes that bulged from the sides of its head and swung to and fro, while its mouth was as lipless as a skull. It had a bony tail, and at the end was a claw like the hand of a man. A pair of tiny arms hung from its breast.
The horrible beast lunged at Wilhelm, and the young man fell backward. As he did, his purse came open and his coins spilled onto the floor of the dungeon.
