    It was a normal day of Sebio cutting wood with an ax. He was described to
    be quite tall and had a flat chest, a long neck, and thin legs. He was one of
    the boys who the village people said "the ones who grew too fast".
    They had a discussion about the “big snake,” which turned into a
    competition between Pacio and Sebio. A competition to win Merci’s heart.
    Sebio was defeated and he was ashamed and decided to rest in a corner
    wanting to leave.

    As Sebio was striking at a hay pile, Merci screamed. Sebio looked around to
    see the deadly snake ready to attack Merci. When he had the chance to hit
    the snake, he missed, and the snake bites the calf of Sebio's leg.

    The village people panicked as they saw Sebio's legs oozing dark blood as he
    was losing consciousness. Sebio was in pain, he asked for a knife and the
    village people were confused about why he needed it.

    He was given a large knife and he wrapped a cloth around the end of a
    horseshoe and then moved it near the fire. He then slashed the knife into
    the two pinpricks and pressed the glowing hot horseshoe on the wound. The
    people said that they will never call him "Sebiong Pasmado" ever again.

    prove that he is strong unlike what the village people say about him.
