    Every night, when the sun would set, Layan would walk down the familiar path to the river. Her heart filled with anticipation, she would look at her reflection in the water, and then, in a blink of an eye, she'd transform into a beautiful white goose.

    With a powerful flap of her wings, Layan would ascend into the night sky. Leaving her world behind, she'd embark on a journey to the magical realm where she was known as the Princess of Geese.

    The realm she visited was a paradise for geese. It was a vast land with lush green fields, sparkling blue lakes, and the clearest skies. Here, the geese lived in peace, and Layan was their princess.

    As the Princess of Geese, Layan had a special bond with her subjects. They would flock to her, their voices expressing joy and affection. And Layan, in return, would take care of them, guiding and protecting them.

    One day, while Layan was in her human form, a boy named Sami spotted her by the river. He watched in awe as the girl transformed into a goose and flew away.

    Intrigued by what he had seen, Sami decided to follow Layan the next time she headed towards the river. He was determined to uncover the truth behind her mysterious transformations.

    As days passed, Sami learned about Layan's secret life as the Princess of Geese. He saw her kindness and the love she had for her subjects. He was deeply moved by her selflessness.

    One evening, Sami approached Layan. He told her that he knew about her secret and promised to keep it safe. He also expressed his admiration for the love and care she showed towards the geese.

    Layan was surprised but also relieved. She was glad to have a human friend who understood her dual life. And so, Layan and Sami became inseparable friends, sharing this beautiful secret.

    Sami started accompanying Layan on her nightly visits to the river. He would watch in awe as she transformed and flew to her kingdom. Each time, he'd wait patiently for her return at dawn.

    One night, Layan didn't return at dawn as usual. Sami grew worried. He waited by the river, hoping to see his friend return, but she didn't.

    Sami decided to take action. He remembered an old tale about a magical potion that could turn a human into a goose. He thought if he could become a goose, he could fly to Layan's kingdom and find her.

    He spent days gathering the ingredients and finally brewed the potion. Sami drank it and was transformed into a goose. With a hopeful heart, he flew towards the kingdom of geese.

    In the kingdom, he found Layan, who was ill and unable to fly back. She was overjoyed to see Sami and was touched by his bravery. With Sami's help, Layan was able to return home.

    Back in their human forms, Sami took care of Layan until she recovered. The bond between them grew stronger, and they promised to look out for each other, no matter what form they took.

    From that day on, Sami accompanied Layan not just to the river, but also to the kingdom of geese. Together, they looked after the geese and ensured peace and happiness in the kingdom.
