Versafication Day 6

Word: Robust


The old wrestler was the strongest in the town

Rumors said that he was feared even by tigers

He had won all his opponents with no trouble

He was seen as a hero, a fearless, brave fighter


But that had encouraged a growing arrogance

He thought nothing could kill him but old age

Hence he didn't panic when bitten by a snake

He just took it off his shoulder, put it in a cage


His robust body did not win against the poison

He realized his error as his eyes began to close
