Once upon a time there was a berserker named Bjorn who lived in a small settlement by the fjord. He was feared for his fearsome strength, but also known for his reckless behavior. One day, the people of the settlement exiled Bjorn for causing too much trouble.
He wandered for many days until he stumbled upon a monastery. The monks there taught him about the ideals of democracy and peace. Bjorn was so inspired that he decided to become a shipwright and build a ship to spread these ideals far and wide.
But as he worked on the ship's hull, he couldn't shake his old reckless ways. One day, he accidentally smashed his fist through the hull. The monks were not pleased, but they saw that Bjorn truly wanted to change. They helped him fix the hull, and Bjorn set sail on his new mission with a newfound sense of purpose.

1. Why was Bjorn exiled from his settlement?
2. What did the monks teach Bjorn?
3. How did Bjorn change after his time at the monastery?
4. Why did Bjorn build a ship?
5. How did Bjorn overcome his reckless past?
