SYNOPSIS
[EN] A young girl named Maniq, born into a family of herbal medicine makers, has finished her basic lessons with her grandmother and mother. Now, to pass her next test, she must venture into the forest to find a Dragon Fang to make a special medicine. Maniq is deeply afraid of both the forest and the dark, but she dreams of becoming a skilled herbalist. Gathering all her courage, she sets out on this challenge. Along the way, she faces many frightening things, yet overcomes them by staying calm, thinking clearly, and focusing on her wish to help the sick. She eventually meets a dragon that is not scary at all—in fact, it's very sick! Maniq's kind heart takes over, and she cares for the dragon until it feels better. In return, the grateful dragon reveals a secret about its fang and even recommends another herb for her medicine. Maniq returns home safely, having learned a valuable lesson: she was often scared of things because she didn't understand them. By looking closely and using her reason, what was once terrifying became an ordinary, everyday sight.
