In the country of Canchi Panchi, there was a beautiful and impregnable castle owned and inhabited by Count Zapatones, renowned for his exploits. The famous count´s only male child, Popi, also lived in the castle. Being a warrior and a bit of a boor, the count´s greatest desire was to have a robust, mighty, and war-loving son. But alas Popi did not fulfill the count´s dreams, as he liked nothing better than to read books in the peace and tranquillity of his home.
