Eric and now Mike was finding the woman to be both old and ugly. As he laid there bound of her twine he watched helpless as she smoothed over his naked body what looked like a freshly skinned hide of some animal.
Bending close the old woman spoke to her captive. "Calm my boy your to be a profit for me and I a blessing unto you! The twine is soaked in a formula handed down through the ages. I learned the use of it by a Master during a trip to the middleast. As the hide is pressed against the skin of a blessed one it comes to attach itself. The twine and it's special potion works both magic and ancient science to give the captive the sound body only found in the animal world and the mental knowledge and rational mind given to humans. In very true fact you shall become a sound and very male bovine before the end of the week. This hide was worn by a great bull who helped my late Brother to be one of the most sought after sires when he was a bull. Now his hide shall find in you it's continued life as the name Mike shall be written in many books as a wonderful sire of thousands of prize winning calves." explained the woman as stitching of hide brought on the pouring of hot wax.
