The Melted Head of Madame Tussaud | ||||||||
Legend Contributued by: Kyle Ammon | ||||||||
Olmec: One of the most famous sculptors in all of Europe was a
frenchwoman named Marie Tussaud. As a young woman, she learned to sculpt in her uncle's wax museum in Paris. During the revolution she was imprisoned for being an aristocrat, and forced to do sculptures of important frenchmen. Legend has it that one day Napoleon Bonaparte came to her prison workshop. Napoleon: I have just been made a general, and I need you to make a bust of me! Olmec: Marie had no choice. But as she worked, she plotted her escape. When the sculpture was finished and Napoleon had left, Marie pulled the wax bust over her head! Marie (disguised as Napoleon): Guard, I am ready to leave. Olmec: Moments later she stood on a street outside the prison. A taxi carriage stopped, and she climbed in. Driver: Where to, mon general? Marie: Who? Oh..um...uh, London on the double! Important affairs of state! Olmec: As they drove toward the border, the sun rose and the wax head began to melt! Driver: Mon general, you do not look so good! Marie: I'm...just tired. Driver: I've been tired, but my entire face never drooped! Olmec: Before the driver could protest, Marie jumped from the cab and hopped the next ship for England, where she set up her wax museum. The wax head eventually made it's way to the temple! You're quest is to find the melted wax head of Madame Tussaud and bring it back here! Kirk: Thank you Olmec! So tell us, where is this melted head at? Olmec: The Melted Head of Madame Tussaud can be found in the Quicksand Bog! |
