Details

Call it Courage #3157 Maftu was afraid of the sea. It had taken his mother when he was a baby, and it seemed to him that the sea gods sought vengeance at having been cheated of Mafatu. So, though he was the son of the Great Chief of Hikueru, a race of Polynesians who worshipped courage, and he was named Stout Heart, he feared and avoided the sea, till everyone branded him a coward. When he could no longer bear their taunts, he went off in his canoe, alone except for his little dog and pet albatross. This is the legend of how his courage grew and how he finally returned home.
