One day, a wise old man came to the village. The old man had heard of Damocles' good heart, and he wanted to give him a special gift. The old man led Damocles to a clearing in the forest, where a beautiful sword hung from a tree branch. The sword was made of pure silver and it gleamed in the sunlight.
"This sword," said the old man, "is called the Sword of Courage. It will protect you from all harm, and it will give you the strength to overcome any obstacle. But remember, Damocles, this sword comes with a price."
Damocles looked at the sword in awe. He wanted the sword more than anything in the world, but he was afraid of the price. "What is the price?" he asked.
"The price is this," said the old man. "If you ever use this sword to hurt someone, it will turn against you and destroy you." Damocles thought for a moment. He knew that the sword was powerful, but he also knew that it could be dangerous.
"I will take the sword," said Damocles. "But I promise that I will only use it for good." The old man smiled. "I know you will, Damocles," he said. "And now, go and use the sword to protect your village."
Damocles took the sword and ran back to his village. He told his brother about the sword and the price that came with it. His brother was impressed and he told Damocles that he would help him protect the village.
One day, a terrible monster attacked the village. The monster was huge and powerful, and it was destroying everything in its path. The villagers were terrified, but Damocles and his brother stood their ground.
Damocles drew the Sword of Courage and charged at the monster. The monster roared and attacked Damocles, but Damocles was too quick. He dodged the monster's attacks and struck it with the sword.
The monster fell to the ground, defeated. The villagers cheered and Damocles was hailed as a hero. Damocles had used the Sword of Courage to protect his village, and he had proven that he was a true hero.
Damocles continued to use the Sword of Courage to protect his village. He became known as the bravest warrior in the land, and he was loved by all who knew him.
But Damocles never forgot the price that came with the sword. He knew that if he ever used it to hurt someone, it would turn against him and destroy him. Damocles Orbe was a good and gentle boy, and he never forgot the old man's warning.
The end.
