A story about a young boy named Ber who overcomes his fear of the dark and bravely faces the terrifying Boi da Cara Preta.
Ber lived in Curitiba, a city full of trees and parks. But every night, he was scared of the dark. His mom told him bedtime stories, but Ber stayed up late. One night, he heard a noise under his bed. " - It's the Boi da Cara Preta!" Ber whispered, trembling.
Ber heard the Boi da Cara Preta was big and scary. He wanted to be brave, but his fear was strong. Every creak made him jump. " - What if it catches me?" Ber wondered. He needed to find a way to be brave.
Ber decided to ask his older sister for help. " - How do you sleep with the lights off?" Ber asked. " - I have a secret," she replied, smiling. She gave him her lucky teddy bear. Ber hugged it, feeling a little braver.
That night, Ber held the teddy bear tight. But the shadows still looked scary. " - Maybe I need more than a teddy bear," Ber thought. He stayed awake, listening for the Boi. His heart raced with every sound.
Ber decided to make a plan. He drew a map of his room. " - I'll know where to hide," he said to himself. But the dark corners still seemed alive. The plan wasn't working. Ber felt stuck.
The next night, Ber tried to sleep with a flashlight. " - This will scare the Boi away," he thought. But the batteries ran out quickly. Ber felt defeated. " - I can't do this," he sighed.
Ber's mom noticed he was tired. " - Why don't you sleep, Ber?" she asked gently. " - I'm scared of the Boi da Cara Preta," he admitted. His mom hugged him tightly. " - We'll find a way," she promised.
Ber decided he couldn't do it. " - I give up," he told his teddy bear. The dark was too big and scary. Tears filled his eyes. He was out of ideas. Ber felt small and helpless.
Then, Ber's grandpa visited. " - You remind me of me at your age," grandpa said. He told Ber a story about facing fears. " - Courage is feeling scared but doing it anyway," grandpa explained. Ber felt a spark of hope.
That night, Ber decided to be brave. He talked to the shadows. " - I'm not afraid anymore," he said firmly. The Boi da Cara Preta didn't come. Ber smiled, feeling proud and strong. He finally slept peacefully.
