Youssef loved spending time in the old library, surrounded by books that smelled like time itself. One day, while flipping through a dusty book, a paper slipped out. An old map... mysterious… and it caught his attention instantly. Without thinking twice, he decided to follow it. The next day, he started walking the path on the map. Every step took him further from the familiar and closer to the unknown. He didn’t know where he was going, but he knew he had to keep going. The forest was full of silence, thoughts, and questions. Everything around him felt strange… but he kept moving. Every moment revealed a new part of himself. He arrived… but there was no gold. Just a stone with a message: "Not every treasure can be touched… sometimes, it’s about finding yourself." He returned the same way he came… but something inside had changed. He wasn’t looking for treasure. He was looking for himself. And he found it.
