Before I went to school I realized I was an hour early, I asked my dad if I could stop at the local gas station on my way there. He said I should wait until he’s there with me so he knows we’re safe. I ignored him and stopped there anyway. I grabbed myself some snacks before realizing the money I had took with me was gone. A man then walked out the door with the money I had brought in. I left feeling like a fool, turns out Dad was right.

Answer: The answer should be these two parts. "...I had to arm wrestle with him for it." and "Then I tied all his arms and legs in knots."
Explanation: These are hyperboles because they are exaggerative. Most likely the person did not arm wrestle with an octopus. Although that would be funny to watch, life is not a Disney movie. Then again if anything he fought the octopus to get away but did not literally tie his arms and legs in knots. The character is exaggerating in order to make himself seem even braver and more courageous than he actually is.
