He also became more abrasive and arrogant in his parent's eyes; he blamed the boils that developed on his bottom that came from lying in bed too much on his family for not giving him enough work. Eventually, his father lost patience and forced him to work on cleaning droids the clan found, threatening to cut his food allowance. Gasrany was initially reluctant and spiteful, but found fun in modifying droids he cleaned with spare parts, with positive results for the tribe. One day, when Gasrany was nearing adulthood, a droid managed to overload its restraining bolt. It escaped the sandcrawler and into the desert. The clan leader told the Jawas to select a person to find the droid, which was of exceptional value, and bring it back. The community unanimously chose Gasrany. Feeling somewhat dejected, Gasrany set out on a swoop bike to find the droid. The search for the droid took him through the canyons of the Jundland wastes, and lasted until evening. Gasrany, fearing what would happen if he returned to the sandcrawler empty-handed, decided to rest for a while and watch the sunset. He took out a bottle of alcohol he had brought from a moisture farmer and put it down nearby. Suddenly, the rays of both setting suns pierced through the bottle, creating a kaleidoscopic prism effect, and formed a intricate pattern. Gasrany decided to take a picture of it with a digital camera, as he knew an artist in Mos Espa who was willing to pay money for inspiration. Gasrany returned to the sandcrawler, and it turned out the droid had returned to the sandcrawler after spotting another Jawa clan. Gasrany showed his parents the picture he had taken, and was surprised by their shocked reaction. They said that the pattern he had seen corresponded with that of a glyph from the Prophecies of the Salesman, a legendary Jawa text. They dug out a copy of the prophecies, which Gasrany had been using as a blue milk coaster, and found out that he almost perfectly met the description of the figure described in the prophecies. Gasrany was very taken aback by this. His parents, fearing that he would succumb to the pressure of fame and destiny, tried to keep it a secret and downplay its significance, but nonetheless word soon spread.
