  WEREWOLF, n.  A wolf that was once, or is sometimes, a man.  All
  werewolves are of evil disposition, having assumed a bestial form to
  gratify a beastial appetite, but some, transformed by sorcery, are as
  humane and is consistent with an acquired taste for human flesh.
      Some Bavarian peasants having caught a wolf one evening, tied it
  to a post by the tail and went to bed.  The next morning nothing was
  there!  Greatly perplexed, they consulted the local priest, who told
  them that their captive was undoubtedly a werewolf and had resumed its
  human for during the night.  "The next time that you take a wolf," the
  good man said, "see that you chain it by the leg, and in the morning
  you will find a Lutheran."
