once upon a time, there lived a nameless monster
the monster was dying to have a name
so he decided to set out on a journey to find his name
but the world was a large place
so the monster split into two on his journey
one went to east
and the other went to west
the monster who went east came to a village
he found a blacksmith and ask him to give his name
"Mr. Blacksmith, please give me your name."
" You can't give someone a name "
" If you give me your name, I'll jump into your stomach and make you strong in return."
" Really? You can make me stronger? Okay, you can have my name."
and the monster jumped into the blacksmith's stomach
the monster became Otto the blacksmith
Otto was the strongest man in town. but one day,
" Look at me, look at me, the monster inside me has grown this large."
the hungry monster ate Otto from the inside
he went back to being a monster without a name
he jumped into the stomach of Hans the shoemaker, but,
he went back to being a monster without a name
he jumped into the stomach of Thomas the hunter, but,
and once again he was a monster without a name
the monster went to the castle to look for a wonderful name
" If you give me your name, I'll make you strong."
" If you heal my sickness, I'll give you my name."
the monster jumped into the boy's stomach
the boy became very healthy
the king was delighted
"The prince is well. The prince is well."
the monster liked the boy's name
he liked living in the castle. so even when he was hungry, he stayed put
everyday he was hungry, but he stayed put
but one day he was just too hungry
" Look at me, look at me, the monster inside me has grown this large."
the boy ate the king and all the servants
one day the boy met the monster who went west
" I have a name. It's a wonderful name."
the monster who went west said,
" You don't need a name. You can be happy without a name."
"Because we are nameless monster."
the boy ate the monster who went west
at the end, even though he had finally found a name, there was no one around to call him by it
Johan was such a wonderful name too.
