The church bells continued to ring long after the morning mass had ended. The sounds lingered, mingling with the scent of incense and the faint echoes reverberating off the walls. Suddenly, a soft, timid whimper broke the silence. The priest, who was closing the wooden doors, froze. Right at the foot of the entrance steps stood a wicker basket covered with a snow-white cloth. There was no one nearby—no note, nor any clue as to who had left it there. He knelt and drew back the fabric. Inside lay an extraordinary child. It had a tiny, fragile body resembling a human’s, yet it possessed delicate, sheep-like ears, and a fluffy tail peeked out from beneath the blanket. Soft, light curls framed an innocent face, and golden eyes gazed at the priest with astonishing calm. A faint, barely perceptible glow hovered over the basket, as if the morning light itself paled in comparison to something truly extraordinary.
