BEFORE the full moon comes out, Lucian asks Mang Elmer to help him tie on the big strong tree. Mang Elmer prepared large chains and rope to ensure that he couldn’t destroy it. But his strength was not usual because of the full moon.
Napatid pa rin niya ang kadena at malalaking tali. Mabuti na lang nagkapaghanda si Mang Elmer ng pana na merong bala na syringe at may gamot na pampaktulog ng hayop. Tumalab ito sa kaniya ngunit hindi siya nagawang patulugin. Nanghina lamang siya.
In the late morning, he just found himself lying on the ground while both hands and legs have tied with rope. Nanigurado na si Mang Elmer. Hindi nito hinayaang makatakas siya. Mas mapanganib kung nakaalis siya at magkita sila ni Tedio. Maaring manipulahin ni Tedio ang isip niya habang wala sa wisyo at maturuan siyan
