A Promise of Faith
In the vibrant city of Dubai, young Yusaf is faced with a significant challenge when he accidentally breaks his father's treasured watch. His journey to resolve this mistake takes him through trials and teaches him the importance of honesty.
In the bustling city of Dubai, ten-year-old Yusaf finds himself in a predicament. While playing with his father’s prized watch, he accidentally drops it, cracking the glass. Yusaf's heart sinks; his father treasures that watch as it was a gift from his grandfather. Yusaf knows he must fix it before his father returns home. He's worried, thinking, " - What if Dad finds out? What if I can't fix it in time?”
Yusaf decides to visit the local watch repair shop, but the shop is closed for the day. Frustrated, he wonders how he’ll make it right without professional help. Desperation creeps in as he thinks, " - How will I ever fix this without the repairman?" He considers trying to fix it himself, but he's never repaired a watch before.
Yusaf attempts to fix the watch by carefully opening the back with a small screwdriver he found at home. But his hands tremble, and he drops a tiny screw, losing it under the couch. He feels tears welling up, thinking, " - I can't do this! I'm making it worse!" His cat Luna nudges him, offering silent comfort as he contemplates giving up.
Feeling defeated, Yusaf considers confessing to his father and facing the consequences. He sits quietly, thinking, " - Maybe honesty is the best way." Just then, his mother enters the room, noticing his distress. " - What's wrong, Yusaf? Why so glum?" she asks with concern. Yusaf hesitates but decides to share his problem with her.
His mother listens patiently and suggests speaking to their neighbor, Mr. Ahmed, who is known for his tinkering skills. " - Mr. Ahmed might be able to help you," she says encouragingly. Relieved, Yusaf knocks on Mr. Ahmed's door, explaining his situation. Mr. Ahmed smiles warmly, " - Let's see if we can fix this together, shall we?"
With Mr. Ahmed's guidance, Yusaf learns how to replace the broken glass and reassemble the watch. As they finish, Mr. Ahmed praises Yusaf's determination. " - You did a great job, Yusaf," he says. Yusaf’s heart swells with pride and gratitude. He returns home, ready to share the truth with his father, learning that honesty truly is the best policy.
