(heavily abridged and translated into retard talk) beowulf is an epic(long) poem told a long time ago about people having trouble with a monster, grendel, and then beowulf(a hero dude who swam in full armor) comes to help them and he rips grendels arm off cuz he's jacked so grendel dies but then grendel's mom comes so beowulf goes underwater and kills that bitch. later beowulf is back in his land and goes to kill a dragon but it kills him. the end
