"He strangled, strangled my cat! You wretched dog, son of a dog!— The shopkeeper gets angry, Grabs whatever is close at hand, And strikes the dog right on the forehead, Tossing it next to the cat. — Oh no! My lion of a dog, My livelihood, my place, my home! May your house crumble, you shopkeeper! Heartless, rude, evil, this and that, How dare you hit my dog! Well, now you’ll see what it’s like to be hit... Our giant yells, Lifts his large staff, Swings it back and brings it down, Knocking the shopkeeper to the floor by the doorstep. — Murder! Help! From neighborhood to neighborhood, from house to house, One person calls to the next: — Help! He’s been murdered! From the upper neighborhood, from the lower neighborhood, From the road, from their work, Crying and wailing, Screaming and shouting— Men and women, Sisters and brothers, Wives and children, Friends and fellows, Mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, Godfathers and their sons, Uncles and grooms... Who knows who else, They come, and they keep coming. Whoever arrives, swings and strikes: — You brute! You savage! How could you do such a thing? Did you come here to trade, Or to murder someone at your doorstep? Some say he hit him ten times, Pounded him into the ground, Leaving him sprawled out next to his dog. — Well, come and take your dead man away! And from there, the news spreads, Reaching the nearby village: — Hey, help us! Aren’t you alive? They’ve murdered our villager!"

Once upon a time, high in the sky, a little Sun named Smisha shone brightly, casting a golden glow on Earth. In a lush meadow, a vibrant sunflower gazed up at Smisha, basking in the warm light. "Oh Sun, your warmth eases my heart. I follow your path, finding bliss in your golden rays," it whispered. One day, a volcano erupted, spewing dark clouds that shrouded the sky and cast deep shadows. Smisha, despairing, found its light blocked. The sunflower, engulfed in shadow, drooped toward the ground. The Sun cried, "Oh, what can I do? My light can't reach the Earth through this gloom." Then, a powerful magic awoke. Nature began to speak. The plants gathered Smisha’s scattered rays, breathing in polluted air and releasing fresh oxygen through photosynthesis. This purified the air and dispelled the dark clouds. Amazed by Earth's support, Smisha realized its true role in this symbiotic relationship. Nature had rallied to aid the Sun. Acknowledging their shared strength, Smisha radiated with renewed brilliance. Grateful, Smisha reached out to the sunflower. "Thank you, dear flower, for clearing the smoke. Your help is invaluable," the Sun expressed. The sunflower, glowing under Smisha’s renewed light, replied, "We simply returned the energy you share each day." From that day, Smisha recognized its might came from both giving light and embracing nature's help. Together with Earth, they wove through the skies as a radiant team. Even the mighty Sun learned the value of relying on others. Its light shone brighter than ever before. Through their bond—the sunflower reflecting Smisha’s beams—they discovered a friendship beautifully bold and brave.
