"There was a young boy who was ridiculed by the other children due to his low birth. He left the village and many adventures he obtained supernatural powers. When he returned to the village he found that it was being terrorized by a giant octopus. He overcame the octopus and was given the chief's daughter and many gifts in recognition of his bravery." – David Neel
