    Enoch was an ordinary man living in a small village on the outskirts of a dense forest. His life was mundane, filled with the routine of farming and caring for his old father.

    One day, while working in the fields, Enoch accidentally smeared his eyes with mud. He rushed to the river to wash it off, but something extraordinary happened.

    Instead of blurring his vision, the mud seemed to enhance it. He began to see things he never could before - the vibrant colors of the flowers seemed amplified, and he could see the tiny insects crawling on the plants.

    With this newfound ability, Enoch's life changed dramatically. He could now spot the ripest fruits from afar and identify the healthiest crops in the field, making him the most successful farmer in the village.

    Among the visitors was a young woman named Lyra, who had heard about Enoch and his abilities. She had a peculiar request - she wanted Enoch to help her find a rare herb that was believed to cure her ailing mother.

    Enoch agreed to help Lyra, and they set off into the dense forest. With his enhanced vision, Enoch could spot the smallest details of the forest - the patterns of the leaves, the hidden trails of the animals.

    But with fame came greed. Some villagers grew envious of Enoch's abilities and plotted to steal the special mud he used to enhance his vision.

    One night, they snuck into his house and stole the mud. But when they smeared it on their eyes, nothing happened. They soon realized that it wasn't the mud but Enoch who was special.
