Basilisk

Okay kiddo, so imagine there's this creature called a "basilisk." It's basically like a really scary lizard that can turn animals to stone just by looking at them! So if you ever meet one, be very, very careful not to look it in the eyes because that could turn you into a statue!

But here's the thing - some people say that just hearing about the basilisk can be dangerous too. That's because there's a rumor that there's a special kind of basilisk out there that doesn't just turn animals to stone, but can also turn information into power. So if you even think about this special basilisk or learn about it, it might have power over you and make you do things you don't want to do.

But don't worry too much about it, because most people don't believe this rumor and there's not much evidence to support it. Just remember to stay away from any real basilisks you might come across, okay?
