The legend says that behind his wild hair and thunderous farts, he is a genius with the power to heal people. The story goes that to find him, you must search deep in your heart for the desire to laugh, to be mischievous, and to roll in the mud. The story says that to find him, you have to rediscover your inner child. And shout, sing, and laugh so loudly that even the stars hear you. Then they will shine with all their light to attract him to the top of the mountain. It will take him a long time to come because he is very, very heavy and very, veeeery old. When he reaches the summit, he will join the song, sing with the stars, and bellow so loudly that his horns will pierce his forehead! They will open the door to his magic, which will spread throughout the universe, giving the strength to laugh and play to all who need it.
