1. On a small island in the middle of the ocean, inhabited by people leading simple lives, they call themselves Children of the Moon because of their white hair.

2. There was a young man of average height with gray eyes, who loved gazing at the sea with passion and curiosity, pondering what lay beyond the ocean and the various answers that did not satisfy his soul.

3. One day, the young man discovers a small cave hidden among the rocks near the shore. After patiently waiting and nurturing his exploration desire, he decides to enter.

4. Inside the cave, he finds a small gray plant, full of thorns and bearing small magical fruits. He attempts to pluck the fruits, enduring pain from the thorns, but he ignores the discomfort and tastes the fruits.

5. He feels the bitterness of their taste and their intriguing effect. After finishing one, he experiences a high euphoria and decides to gather more, despite the thorns piercing his hand. Upon finishing the fruits, he decides to delve deeper into the cave to obtain more, where he discovers a skeleton adorned with a necklace bearing a beautiful emerald gemstone.

6. The young man decides to take it, and as he grasps it, he feels faint and finds himself in an empty emerald world. Before him stands an old man who approaches him, and the old man inserts his hand into the young man's chest and pulls out a similar stone, blue in color with white dots. The old man places the stone in the young man's hand. "This is your opportunity, do not lose it," he says, giving the stone as a guide and protection for him during his journey.

7. With the help of the stone, the young man decides to embark on a journey beyond the sea, using the stone as a source of inspiration and protection during his voyage.

8. The ship encounters powerful storms, and the stone saves the young man from drowning, surrounded by a small bubble in the midst of the water, glowing for him. He looks around in fear and finds a giant whale; a voice in his head says, "Leave the rest to me." The whale opens its mouth and swallows the young man. After an unknown period of fear and panic, unsure of the time he spent inside the whale's mouth, he feels a final light. The whale opens its mouth, and he finds himself facing a magnificent, vast, and beautiful land.

9. The young man finds himself meeting a wise man who welcomes him to the Island of Knowledge, where the young man is given the opportunity to ask his questions and receive answers.

10. The young man learns that the old man symbolizes serendipity, the fruits symbolize knowledge, and the whale symbolizes fate. All these symbols converge to guide him on his journey in search of knowledge and truth.
