Francesco lived in Gubbio at that time
And on the streets of the countryside
A ferocious wolf appeared
He tore men and beasts apart
And no one dared to face him more.
Than that one Francesco felt sorry for the people,
for their human fear,
he set off looking for
the place where the wolf lived
and he didn't have a weapon with him.
When in the end the wolf found
That meeting became threatening,
Francis stopped him and raised his hand: âYou Brother Wolf, you are a thief and murderer,
you brought fear to this earth.
Between you and these people I will make peace,
the evil will be forgiven
from them you will have food forever
and never again in life will you be hungry
more than the wolf Hell is scary!â.
They say that this is how Francis spoke
And on that land he brought peace
And in the years to come from the wolf
No one suffered any more .
âYou Brother Wolf, you are a thief and a murderer
but Hell is more scary than the wolf!â.
