A long, long time ago, there lived in the sea, a creature called Octopus. Octopus had a large bulbous head and eight tentacles. Octopus had two cousins, Hundopus and Milopus. Hundopus had a hundred tentacles while Milopus had a million of them. Octopus lived in the Mediterranean Sea, Hundopus lived in the North Sea and Milopus lived in the Caribbean Sea.
Every once in a year they would all meet. On once such occasion they decided that they wanted to wear shoes like humans. Hundopus, suggested they go to Italy, known for its superb shoemakers, around the world.
So, the three of them travelled to the Shoe City of Italy, Vigevano. The shoemakers in Vigevano were astounded at their request. They told them that it was not possible to make a hundred shoes of the same size, let alone a million.
That made the sea creatures very angry. They started attacking the humans and destroying their cities in Italy. The Italian emperor, the mighty Julius Caeser and his army could do nothing against these giant creatures.
Caeser then remembered the little village of invincible Gauls in Armorica, who constantly defied him. He called upon the village’s most valiant warrior, Asterix for help. As always, Asterix rose to the occasion. He drank the magic potion that gave him superhuman strength. Then he and his best friend, Obelix (who was permanently super powerful because he had fallen into a cauldron of magic potion when he was a baby) fought Octopus, Hundopus and Milopus. The duo beat the living daylights out of the sea monsters (Biff! Bang! Thwack!) and threw them back into the sea.
