When he was eleven years old, he learned the alphabet from his elderly uncle. From then on, whenever he met someone learned, he would seize the opportunity to study the alphabet with them. As he spent most of his time tending sheep, whenever he found a flat, smooth rock or level ground, he would practice his writing using only his fingers, which would often cause them to bleed. This didn't discourage him, and he became an expert at reading and writing. Later on, this Venerable One was to become a holder of the treasury of secrets of all the conquerors.
