THIS IS MY STORY
Erika I am to the world; Wiese, which means meadow, in the depths of my soul. Yet nameless I was, in the storms of that time.

1 The Fires of Childhood
Once upon a time there was a poor woodcutter who longed for his son to have a better life. And so he saved his money and sent the lad to study at the university. Alas, after a bad year the father ran out of money, and so before the young man could finish his studies he had to come home to help his father.
During one midday rest, instead of sensibly relaxing as his father counseled, the young man wandered through the woods. Suddenly, from a great oak he heard a voice which cried, "Let me out! Let me out!"
He dug into the tree's network of roots and there found an ancient bottle. It was from this bottle that the voice was coming. The boy carefully uncorked it.
Out came a vapor which in short time solidified into a spirit the size of one-half of the ancient oak.
"I am the great spirit Mercurius!" thundered the monstrous spirit. "I was locked into this bottle as a punishment. I am obliged to break the neck of whoever frees me!"
Now the young man grew very nervous, which caused him to quickly think of a ruse. "Anyone could claim he had been in a bottle," he said to Mercurius. "You have to prove it to me."
And so Mercurius, to prove he had spoken the truth, slid back into the bottle. The young man quickly replaced the cork, and now the spirit was caught once more. This time Mercurius promised a reward if he were freed. And so the young man released the spirit, and in reward received the gift of a magic rag. Mercurius told him that one side of the rag would turn metal to silver, the other side could heal any wound.
The young man tested his gift by cutting a tree with his axe and then rubbing the wound with his rag. Indeed, the tree healed immediately. He then rubbed his axe with the other side of the rag, and immediately the axe turned to silver.
Father and son were able to sell the axe for a great deal of money. And so they were freed of all their worries. The young man continued his studies and in part because of his magical rag he became a very famous doctor.
