In the peaceful and quaint town of Nestle, where life flowed in harmony with the rhythms of the seasons, there lived a young boy named Peter. He had always been a diligent and obedient child, raised within the boundaries of societal rules and laws that guided the lives of the townsfolk.
One day, as Peter was walking along the road that connected the town to the vast farm fields, he noticed something unusual. Underneath the sturdy bridge that spanned the gentle river, he spotted a small figure sitting in the shadows. Intrigued and curious, he approached the figure cautiously, his steps echoing in the quietude of the surroundings.
As he drew nearer, his eyes widened with astonishment, for the figure he saw was unlike anything he had ever encountered. The being was not a human child, as Peter had initially assumed. Instead, its skin was an otherworldly shade of bright red, and atop its head, two small horns protruded, curving gently upward.
"A devil?" Peter exclaimed in fear, his voice quivering as he took in the peculiar sight before him.
The strange being, who had been sitting in contemplative silence, turned its head to regard Peter with a calm and curious expression. Its eyes, though foreign in appearance, held a deep and gentle intelligence.
"I'm hungry," the being said in a soft and plaintive voice, its words breaking the eerie silence beneath the bridge. "Can you give me food?"

Peter's heart raced with a mixture of fear and uncertainty. The legends he had heard as a child had painted devils as malevolent and dangerous creatures, and now, confronted with what appeared to be one, his instincts urged him to flee.
"I can't give you food because you are the devil," Peter stammered, his fear causing his voice to tremble.
The being, still gazing at Peter with its enigmatic eyes, seemed genuinely puzzled by the boy's assertion. "Why do you think I'm a devil?" it inquired, its voice carrying a note of confusion.

Peter stood before the peculiar being, his heart pounding in his chest. He had been raised on stories and tales that painted creatures with red skin and horns as devils, malevolent and dangerous entities. It was a deeply ingrained belief he had carried with him since childhood.
