This is a story about a pirate who feels ugly and consequently behaves poorly, leading his compatriots to view him negatively. However, when he defeats a monstrous sea serpent and becomes a hero, he begins to accept himself and recognise his inner beauty. This tale serves as an allegory for the importance of self-esteem and self-confidence in personal growth and redemption.
