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 tha sea, till everyone branded him a coward. When he could no longer bear their taunts and jibes, he determined to conquer that fear or be conquered-- so he went off in his canoe, alone except for his little dog and pet albatross. A storm gave him his first challenge. Then days on a desert island found him resourceful beyond his own expectation. This is the story of how his courage grew and how he finally returned home. This is a legend. It happened many years ago, but even today the people of Hikueru sing this story and tell it over their evening fires.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0689713916\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780689713910\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Sperry, Armstrong\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Aladdin Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Aladdin Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Apr 1990)","offer_id":46414420279493,"sku":"9780689713910","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780689713910.jpg?v=1781865015","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/call-it-courage","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
