Edith's question echoed through the village, but no one seemed to have an answer. Aryam himself stood there in a daze, his face a mixture of shock and embarrassment.
Suddenly, a young boy named Timmy spoke up. "I saw it!" he exclaimed, waving his hand excitedly. "Aryam was trying to light a candle, but he accidentally set his hair on fire."
The villagers erupted into a chorus of laughter, unable to resist the irony of the situation. Aryam, however, remained unfazed. He simply sighed and shook his head.
"Well," he said, "at least I'll have a good story to tell at the next beekeeping convention."
The villagers continued to laugh and tease Aryam about his hair, but they couldn't help but admire his good humor. After all, Aryam Steur was the most beloved member of Pillowtumps, and even with his charred locks, he still had a heart of gold.
As the sun began to set, the villagers gathered around Aryam, offering him words of comfort and encouragement. And as the last rays of light disappeared below the horizon, Aryam couldn't help but smile. He knew that his hair would eventually grow back, and that the memory of this day would provide him with endless laughter for years to come.

And Aryam would always chuckle and tell the story, making sure to add a few embellishments to make it even more hilarious.
