The incident of the 100 amulets refers to a curious event that occurred in a small village surrounded by dense forests. This village, known for its mystical atmosphere, had been the center of many stories and legends, but none had captured the imagination of the villagers quite like the incident of the 100 amulets. It all began when a mysterious traveler arrived in the village, claiming to possess a collection of amulets that held extraordinary powers. The traveler, known only as Anaya, had traveled far and wide in search of these amulets, and eventually stumbled upon them in a hidden cave deep within the forest. Word of Anaya's discovery spread rapidly throughout the village, and curiosity soon turned into obsession. The villagers desperately wanted to see these miraculous amulets for themselves, believing that they held the key to unlocking their own personal desires and wishes.
Can you imagine a game day at Bill Snyder Family Stadium without Willie the Wildcat? We can’t, either. He helps us all get hyped before kick off, and we cheer for his post-touchdown pushups. He also leads us in every K-S-U cheer.
Like Clark Kent as Superman or Peter Parker as Spider-Man, no one knows the identity of the person behind the mask at Willie the Wildcat s public appearances. In 1959 with 100 from the Associated Students of the University of Arizona the roommates came up with the Wilbur costume and started a booster club called the Wilburs.
The villagers desperately wanted to see these miraculous amulets for themselves, believing that they held the key to unlocking their own personal desires and wishes. Anaya, however, was reluctant to showcase the amulets to the villagers. Knowing their true potential, he feared that they would be misused and fall into the wrong hands.
Top 5 reasons we think Willie the Wildcat is the best mascot
So maybe we’re a little biased, but we think Willie the Wildcat is the best college mascot around! Here are the top 5 reasons Willie fills us with purple pride.
1. He’s a cool ’Cat with a rich history
Did you know that the Willie the Wildcat tradition started all the way back in 1947? Adrea Simmons Andersen ’56 played K-State’s first mascot at the September 1947 football game against Oklahoma A&M. She wore a red-brown wildcat costume with black stripes and a tail — certainly very different from Willie’s current look!
2. It’s just not game day without him
Can you imagine a game day at Bill Snyder Family Stadium without Willie the Wildcat? We can’t, either. He helps us all get hyped before kick off, and we cheer for his post-touchdown pushups. He also leads us in every K-S-U cheer.
3. Kids love him
Whether he’s giving out high-fives on game day or waving to his fans along the route of the annual Homecoming parade, Willie the Wildcat brings joy to little K-Staters (and K-Staters who are still kids at heart).
4. He’s got a secret identity
Like Clark Kent as Superman or Peter Parker as Spider-Man, no one knows the identity of the person behind the mask at Willie the Wildcat’s public appearances. Does that basically make Willie the Wildcat a superhero too?
5. He’s a great ambassador for K-State
As soon as you spot Willie the Wildcat, you immediately think of Kansas State University, and a sense of fun, family and, of course, the color purple. Wherever Willie goes, he brings that K-State spirit with him.
Did you know.
Willie the Wildcat or Willie Wildcat?
Although you may have heard K-State's mascot referenced both ways, according to the university's Official Style Guide, "Willie the Wildcat" is the preferred name of our beloved mascot.
Despite his reservations, the villagers persisted, begging and pleading for him to share the amulets with them. Finally, Anaya relented, but he set a condition - each villager would be allowed to wear the amulet only once, and for a limited period of time. The villagers eagerly accepted this condition, desperate to experience the power of the amulets, even if only for a fleeting moment. And so, one by one, the villagers took turns wearing the amulets. Some sought wealth and prosperity, others longed for love and happiness, while a few hoped for good health and protection. Each villager had their own unique desires, and they believed wholeheartedly that the amulets would make their dreams come true. As the amulets were passed from one villager to another, an air of excitement and anticipation filled the village. Desires were met, dreams were fulfilled, or so it seemed. The villagers flourished in their newfound fortunes and happiness, and the village itself began to prosper in ways it had never seen before. But as time went on, a sense of unease and unrest crept over the villagers. They started to realize that the amulets came with a heavy price. The desires they had sought so desperately were accompanied by unforeseen consequences. Relationships crumbled, friendships were destroyed, and families became estranged. Slowly, the village descended into chaos, as the amulets unleashed chaos and discord. It became clear that the power of the amulets came at a great cost, one that the villagers had not fully comprehended. Realizing his mistake, Anaya gathered the amulets once again and returned them to the hidden cave. The village, now devastated by the fallout of their desires, slowly began to rebuild and heal. The incident of the 100 amulets had taught them a valuable lesson - that true happiness and contentment could not be found in external objects, but rather in the simple joys of life and the connections they shared with one another. The incident of the 100 amulets became a cautionary tale, passed down through generations, reminding the villagers to cherish what they had and to be mindful of the consequences of their desires. It served as a stark reminder that true happiness lies not in material possessions, but in the intangible bonds of love, friendship, and community..
