Kublai Khan and The Kamikaze *
~ by TPO~
The Japanese damaged Kublai Khan's pride when they repeatedly refused to pay him tribute.  Full of wrath, the mighty conqueror amassed an enormous fleet of hundreds of ships and thousands of soldiers to sail across the sea and teach them a lesson.  He watched as colossal storms -- what the Japanese called the Kamikaze, or Divine Wind -- devastated his ships and saved Japan from his fury.  His soulution?  Build an even larger fleet.

The relatively puny Japanese army breathed a sigh of relief as the Divine Wind returned to finish off the second fleet !
