Kuto had always been a worrywart. Whenever something went wrong, Kuto would be the first to freak out. Even when things were going well, Kuto could find something to worry about. It was exhausting for everyone around him, but Kuto couldn't help it. He was just wired that way.
One day, Kuto's worries got the best of him and he decided to run away from home. He ended up on a small island off the coast of Mauritius called Ile aux Cerfs. At first, everything seemed perfect - the sun was shining and there wasn't a care in the world.
But eventually, even paradise got boring for Kuto. There was nothing to do and no one to talk to except for the occasional bird or monkey. The only thing that gave Kuto any joy was swimming in the crystal-clear water surrounding the island.
But even that stopped being fun after awhile because there were no waves or currents to play in - just calm water as far as the eye could see. After a few weeks of this, Kuto started to go stir-crazy with boredom."
