Answer 1

Answer: King Frog

Explanation:

Smith describes a village brought to chaos by two invaders, and the pointless courage that the women showed by confronting them to protect their daughters despite not being able to stop the two men from retaliating and coming back over and over again. It´s said that there´s always a boy that confronts one of the invaders, showing the same kind of pointless courage.
