Aiashess, who was abandoned on an island by his father
A little boy had a stepmother who did not like him. She took advantage of this to tell many lies about him and criticize Aiashess’s actions. She reported everything to the boy’s father. His father decided to go looking for eggs on an island and took the opportunity to abandon his son there. Aiashess saw his father leave the island. Animals then came to meet him and help him return to shore. In this story, we follow Aiashess’s adventures and discover how fat is distributed to animals.
