The moon lingered over a quiet village called Al-Nada. When the moon was full, the whole world fell silent... except for the wind. Doors closed early, and people whispered, "Tonight is the night of the werewolf." But the truth wasn't what everyone thought. Salim, a clever boy with a kind heart, noticed that every full moon night, a white dog appeared at the edge of the village. Its eyes were bright but sad, and it walked by without harming anyone. It was a true mystery. One day, Salim decided to follow it. The moonlight illuminated the path, and the silence was a little eerie, but there was no sound except the beating of his heart. The dog stopped suddenly... and the light reflected, transforming before Salim's eyes into a human! It was a young man named Nader, with a calm voice, who said, "I'm not a monster... this is an ancient secret." He told him that an ancient curse transformed him during the full moon, but he had never harmed anyone and always chose solitude to protect others. The fear people felt was due to ignorance, not malice. Salim smiled and said, "Then you are the guardian of the village, not the werewolf." From that day on, Salim would open the window at full moon and light a candle. A sign that someone understood... and that there was hope. And the village? It became less fearful. And the moon? It remained a witness that not everything that scares us is evil... sometimes it's a story that needs a brave heart.
