There are monsters around here!... Nils discovers that the monster is, in fact, Giulio a harmless and toothless old wolverine. However, the animal has a bad reputation and Akka categorically refuses to have this fearsome predator in the camp. But Nils refuses to listen, he trusts his new friend - who helps him to save Pretty Wing and Golden Eye from a she-wolf.
The flock must take a rest, exhausted and hungry. Foraging in a wood, they all suspect danger, even monsters judging by tracks and roars. Two geese get locked-in by a wolf. Nils and Martin come face to face with a wolverine, but the kid soon realizes the scare giant is old and lonely, not dangerous, even willing to help rescue the wolf's preys.—KGF Vissers
