One day,the truth had to come out.One day, humanity had to know the secret it has been breathlessly waiting to discover for over two thousand years.For though we all know that Obelix fell into the cauldron of magic potion when he was a little boy ("We'll never hear the end of it!" he has frequently been heard to complain),we never knew just how.Well - the hour has come! And as Asterix was partly responsible for the whole deplorable business,we have asked him to reveal all. So let there be light!
