Li Lun Lad of Courage

Although he lives in a fishing village on the coast of China, Li Lun is strangely afraid of the sea. Other boys in the village taunt him, and even his father calls him a coward. When Li Lun refuses to go fishing, his parents banish him to the mountaintop with just a small satchel of food and a few rice seedlings. There, high above his home, Li Lun proves that there are many brands of courage.
