Koluskap and the Baby tells the story of Koluskap, a great warrior whose stories of adventures in battle are well known in surrounding villages. When Koluskap arrives at a village where he is not known, he is told that, although he may be a strong warrior, he is not the strongest: he would not be able to defeat the “Mighty Wasis.” When Wasis turns out to be a baby, Koluskap discovers that all of his skills as a warrior are no match for this determined baby, and he humbly admits defeat.
