The dead wolf – Thracian Greek Collection

Description: In the first quarter of the 20th century, Greeks from Kavakli village in North Thrace, present-day Topolovgrad, Bulgaria, came and settled in Koufalia, a town near Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia. Paschalis Nendidis, a descendant of these settlers, tells us a short ''masali'', a funny story about a man in Kavakli who was silly and a coward. He found a dead wolf in the mountain and brought it to the village saying that he had killed it, so that everyone would believe he was a brave man. His wife did not believe it and she played a prank to learn the truth. Letʼs hear the story and see what finally happens.
