“A yellow eye, perfectly round, with a black pupil right in the center. An eye that never blinks. It is as if the boy were looking at a candle burning in the night; he can see nothing but that eye: the trees, the zoo, the enclosure, everything has disappeared. Only one thing remains: the eye of the wolf.” (text translated from French)
The zoo at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, the wolf's cage. A child has settled down in front of the cage and is not taking his eyes off the wolf. The wolf, initially hostile and walled up in his solitude, ends up getting caught up in the game and tells the child his story; or more exactly, he makes the child experience the images of his life by letting him “enter” his eye.

The boy looked his grandfather carefully in the eye and asked: “Which of the two wolves will win, Grandpa?”
The grandfather smiled and replied softly: ” The one I feed. »
