    In a small town lived a boy named Asman. He was known far and wide for his continuous weeping. His cries echoed throughout the village, day and night, and his tear-streaked face was a familiar sight to all.

    Asman's incessant crying was a source of annoyance for the villagers. They tried everything to soothe him, from lullabies to funny stories, but nothing worked. His tears flowed like a never-ending river.

    One day, a wise old woman named Elder Marianne visited the village. She was renowned for her wisdom and was known to have a way with children. When she heard of Asman, she wanted to meet him.

    As she met Asman, Elder Marianne did not scold him or tell him to stop crying. Instead, she listened. She listened to his sobs, his sniffles, and his whimpers. She understood that his tears had a deeper meaning.

    Elder Marianne discovered that Asman cried because he felt things deeply. Every little upset, every minor injustice, every bit of pain - he felt it all intensely. And so, he cried.

    She explained to the villagers that Asman was not annoying, but sensitive. He was a child who felt and expressed his emotions more than others. The villagers were taken aback by this revelation.

    Elder Marianne then began teaching Asman how to navigate his emotions. She taught him to channel his feelings into art, music, and dance, transforming his tears into creativity.

    Asman took to these new outlets like a fish to water. He painted beautiful scenes, played soothing melodies on his flute, and danced with grace and passion. His tears became less, but his expression more profound.

    The villagers saw a change in Asman. His crying decreased, but more importantly, they began to understand him. They saw the beauty in his sensitivity and appreciated his artistic talents.

    Asman still cried sometimes, but the villagers did not get annoyed anymore. They understood that his tears were a part of him, a reflection of his sensitive soul. They even started to admire his ability to feel so deeply.

    Elder Marianne left the village, her job done. But she left behind a changed Asman, a transformed village, and a lesson - that sensitivity is not a weakness, but a strength.

    Asman grew older, his talent blossomed, and his sensitivity became his greatest strength. He became an artist, a musician, and a dancer, renowned far and wide for his emotional performances.
