Lina was a young and adventurous girl living in a small village across a dense jungle. Her mother often warned her not to venture into the jungle at night, especially because of the wolves that dwelled there. However, Lina was not one to heed warnings and loved the thrill of the unknown.

One day, she decided to explore the jungle at night, despite her mother's advice. The moon was bright and full, casting long shadows that danced in the cool night breeze. The jungle seemed to be even more alive, buzzing with the sounds of nocturnal creatures.

Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound behind her. Turning around, she saw a wolf standing there. The wolf didn't look menacing. Instead, it had a strange, almost human-like quality to it.

To Lina's astonishment, the wolf began to transform right before her eyes. It took the form of her beloved grandmother, who lived with them in the village. Lina was both terrified and intrigued by the sight.

The wolf, now in her grandmother's form, explained that it was a magical wolf who had the power to take the form of anyone it wished. It had chosen her grandmother's form because it knew Lina would trust it.

The wolf then asked Lina for a favour – to bring it a particular flower that bloomed only at dawn, deep in the heart of the jungle. In return, the wolf promised to release her grandmother from its avatar.

Lina agreed and spent the rest of the night in the jungle, waiting for dawn to break. As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the jungle canopy, she spotted the flower and carefully picked it.

She returned to the wolf, who was still in the form of her grandmother. Handing over the flower, Lina watched as the wolf transformed back into its original form. It thanked Lina and disappeared into the jungle, leaving her grandmother standing there, unharmed.

Lina and her grandmother returned to the village. Lina had learnt a valuable lesson about listening to her mother's advice and not venturing into the jungle at night. She knew that she had been lucky this time, but she might not be so fortunate in the future.

From that day forward, Lina became more cautious and respected the boundaries set by her mother. The adventurous girl had grown a little wiser, and the village was at peace, knowing that the wolves would no longer trouble them.
