00:00A long time ago, there was a small village in the middle of a big forest.
00:06It was mostly a peaceful village.
00:09But the people of the village lived in the fear of the lobizons.
00:13It was said about them that they lived inside the forest.
00:17The lobizons were dark creatures.
00:19Half man and half wolf.
00:21And on every full moon, it was said that these creatures came out of the forest in search of human flesh.
00:30But how did such a creature come into existence?
00:32This is a simple thing.
00:33Curse on the seventh son born in any family.
00:38Curse will not fall on any daughter.
00:41But if a mother gives birth to seven sons,
00:45then the last of these sons will definitely become a lobizon.
00:51When Philip was born, his mother was very strong.
00:57She had the hope of a son.
00:59Not a seventh son.
01:01But Philip's mother was kind and loving.
01:05And she was not going to step back from her child.
01:09It made no difference to the villagers to say anything about this curse.
01:22Many years passed in peace.
01:25Philip became a strong boy.
01:28His mother, father and six brothers hated him.
01:32But Philip could not help but notice that he was treated differently from his brothers.
01:41He did not go to school because the teacher did not allow it.
01:46It was not appropriate because the young boy liked to learn new things.
01:52And he wanted to be friends with other children.
02:01If ever his mother sent Philip to buy bread,
02:06the villagers would never come in his way.
02:11And they would always look at him with fear and disappointment.
02:19Which made the young boy restless.
02:22Other children did not play with him.
02:25And when the full moon was up, he was never allowed to go to the garden.
02:29This last point was perhaps the worst of all.
02:33Because Philip was very fond of the moon.
02:36When the sky was full of clouds at night,
02:40he talked to Philip and woke him up.
02:43And he forced him to sing, dance and run.
02:46Life was full of happiness even after the full moon.
02:50Philip found himself more and more alone with each passing year.
02:55He had no friends.
02:57And he was never forbidden to play with other children.
03:03Sometimes he would listen to them and imagine what they were playing.
03:08And how much fun they were having.
03:11Philip also saw that his mother and brother were also looking at him with strange eyes.
03:17Philip often asked himself,
03:19What is so great about me?
03:21I am not such a bad boy.
03:24I do my work.
03:26And I never misbehave.
03:29Why are other children treated so differently with me?
03:33As soon as he reached his fifteenth birthday,
03:37Philip was much more upset than before.
03:40His mother would let him go out of the house without permission.
03:44And she often saw her in his love.
03:47If a young child ever saw him playing near his house,
03:51he would throw stones at him.
03:53But when he died to chase them,
03:55he would run away screaming.
03:57As if he was an orphan.
03:59Sometimes Philip wished to find himself in the jungle and never come back.
04:06One day his mother made him sit.
04:08And told him the reason for his worry.
04:11You are my only son.
04:13Who said that?
04:20And my children,
04:22you are cursed.
04:25He asked, What curse?
04:28Philip was very upset.
04:30At his fifteenth birthday,
04:32you will become a Lobizon.
04:34A creature that is half human and half wolf.
04:38Philip knew everything about the Lobizon from his books.
04:42And from the stories that his brothers shared at night.
04:46Whenever he felt that he was sleeping in his bed,
04:49he never told Philip that he was like this.
04:53He did not want to become a Lobizon.
04:55He did not want to become evil or cruel.
04:57And he did not believe that he had long and thick skin all over his body.
05:03At his fifteenth birthday,
05:05Philip was not as sad as he was before.
05:10Never.
05:11He was always alone in the dark.
05:14He was always alone in the dark.
05:19He sat in his bed and started crying.
05:21He thought, Why have I always been treated like this?
05:25And now I am cursed to become a Lobizon.
05:28What should I do?
05:29I just wanted to be treated like this with everyone.
05:33I just wanted to play in the jungle with my friends
05:36and praise the beautiful moon at night.
05:39At this time, Philip looked out of his bedroom window.
05:45The moon was shining in the deep sky full of stars.
05:49It was a big beautiful full moon.
05:52And his heart was filled with joy.
05:55Then something strange happened.
05:57Philip felt a tremor in his stomach.
05:59And he felt it on his tongue.
06:01He heard a scream from his chest.
06:03And he raised his head towards the moon.
06:05As if he had never done it before.
06:07His body suddenly burst open.
06:09And the nails of his hands and feet turned into long claws.
06:14His clothes were broken into pieces.
06:16And his feet fell on the floor.
06:18And when Philip looked in the mirror,
06:20he saw the image of a boy with a long beard.
06:23His whole body was covered with thick skin.
06:26And his eyes were shining in the jungle and in the dark.
06:36He shocked and said,
06:38I am a Lobizon.
06:40Philip felt the call of the moon and the jungle.
06:42He knew that the time had come for him to turn away from his old life.
06:47And embrace his destiny.
06:50The young wolf-like boy opened the window of his bedroom.
06:55He stopped before going out at night.
06:58And he looked around his old bedroom for the last time.
07:03And he said to his mother and father,
07:05and to his six brothers,
07:07that I will always remember you.
07:10He thought about his brothers.
07:12My dear family,
07:13but now I should accept that I am a Lobizon.
07:16And I am going to start my new life.
07:20Then he jumped out of the window of his bedroom and ran towards the jungle.
07:24Every time the moon shrieked.
07:27His heart was filled with a strange new hope for the future.
07:31When Philip was deep in the jungle,
07:34he saw the beautiful moon on its ancient branches and at the height of the sky.
07:42He screamed and screamed.
07:44He took a bath.
07:45He danced and laughed.
07:46When he stopped screaming and dancing,
07:49he looked around.
07:52He saw that other Lobizons were gathered in the empty part of the jungle.
07:56Some were young like Philip and some were old.
07:59And they reached near Philip and greeted him.
08:04One said,
08:05You are now at home,
08:06among friends,
08:08in a big jungle.
08:09A soft and gentle voice came to him.
08:12Even then,
08:13Philip realized that he was not alone.
08:16He smiled.
08:17He smiled.
08:19I am a Lobizon and I am at home.
08:23Then he raised his head to the full moon and screamed with all his strength.
08:28All the Lobizons joined him.
08:31And they sang a song in the beautiful sky of the moon.
08:36Many miles away,
08:37Philip's mother was standing in her garden in her nightgown.
08:41And she was listening to the sound of the Lobizons
08:45flowing in the gentle breeze of the big jungle.
08:48The old woman smiled at him
08:50because she knew that her son had finally found a home for himself
08:55where he would be welcomed.
08:58And where he would have many friends.
09:00He would live a long and happy life.
