As a young child, Yousho quickly showed exceptional intellect and physical abilities. He was also very violent. His father suggested to his mother one morning that Yousho be assigned to the school’s youngest children to soften his aggression. This means that Yousho had to spend significant time in the nursery.

It was also understood that Yousho would one day head the school of Hayshua because this was the primary task of his family. Yet he received much criticism from other children because of his assignment to the nursery. Few children came back to the nursery after leaving that area of the school at about three years of age.

“Baby boy, have you learned to nurse the babies yet?” said a child to Yousho one afternoon. “You must do something spending so much time in that nursery.”

For a few seconds Yousho stared angrily at this young man. The rage seemed to just grow within Yousho. Suddenly Yousho turned and ran away from the village. Running for about five minutes at a breakneck pace Yousho ran until he reached the water near Hayshua. He then jumped into the water and swam up this tributary until it reached the great river. He continued swimming up the river until he had almost reached Mento.

This was a distance of over a mile upstream against the current. As he swam over to the bank of the river, he breathed heavily. Crawling up the bank of the river, sleep followed easily.
