The Wise Man in his Blue Cave tells us: “The story of Kirikou and the Sorceress was too short. We didn't have time to tell you about all the things that little Kirikou did. He did lots of good and beautiful things that must not be forgotten. And so I will tell you about them.” And so he tells us how Kirikou became a gardener, a detective, a merchant, a traveller and how he met... the wild beasts.
