Synopsis:
Neither big nor strong, Zomo is clever. However, as he finds out from Sky God, cleverness and wisdom are not synonymous. To attain wisdom, Zomo has to, through trickery, obtain the scales of Big Fish in the sea, milk Wild Cow, and deliver the tooth of Leopard to Sky God.

You can expand upon them, or add your own twist.
Remember, though, that the focus of your time should
not be on the development and execution of a craft;

enjoyment of the book!
