We have probably all heard this story before—also because it is as old as mankind (this tale is, in fact, already included in Aesop’s Fables)—. Its morale is usually found in the fact of not lying, or not exaggerating, because the moment it will be true or unbearable nobody will believe you anymore. However, Saramago, gives it a second possible morale that is of purpose to what we are discussing, especially with reference to the observations made by de Man. In fact, Saramago concludes: ‘[T]here were also many more who denied the wolf was coming before it indeed descended upon us, and when in the end it did, I saw and traced the word on its collar: crisis’ (Saramago 2010, 138–139).
