A peaceful village, long ago, was besieged by deadly swordfish. The villagers were terrified of these fish and looked to their Rajah for a solution. But the Rajah had none. Then a young boy named Abdul came up with the idea of using banana tree trunks and saved the village from its plight. Instead of being rewarded, Abdul was arrested as the Rajah perceived a greater threat to his reign.
