Esmin prvi post
Esma, a curious and honest 8-year-old girl, decides to experience fasting during Ramadan for the first time. As she navigates through hunger and temptation, she learns the true essence of wisdom and perseverance.
Esma was excited for Ramadan. It was her first time trying to fast, just like the adults. But as the first day began, she quickly realized how hard it was to stay without food and water. " - Can I do this, Mama?" Esma asked, feeling unsure. Her mother smiled, " - It won't be easy, but you'll learn so much, my dear." Esma knew she had to try, even if it felt like the biggest challenge in the world.
As the day went on, Esma's tummy began to grumble loudly. " - I'm so hungry," she whispered to herself during her favorite cartoon. Her little brother walked in with a cookie, tempting her even more. " - Just one bite won't hurt," he teased. Esma shook her head, determined to stick to her fast. " - I have to be strong," she reminded herself, but it was harder than she thought.
Esma faced more challenges as the day continued. Her friends invited her to play outside, but they were all enjoying ice creams. " - Come on, Esma!" they called. She hesitated, feeling torn between joining them and keeping her promise. " - Maybe just this once..." she thought, but deep down she knew she wanted to succeed. With a sigh, she stayed inside, battling her cravings.
As the afternoon wore on, Esma felt like giving up. " - I can't do this," she said to herself, tears in her eyes. Her mother noticed her struggle and sat down beside her. " - It's okay to feel this way, Esma. You're learning and that's the most important part." Esma sighed, feeling a bit better but still unsure. She considered giving up, but something inside her wanted to keep trying.
Just before sunset, Esma's grandmother came to visit. She shared stories about her own first Ramadan fast long ago. " - I felt just like you," her grandmother said, smiling warmly. "But with each day, I found strength I never knew I had." Esma listened, inspired by her grandmother's words. " - Maybe I can do it too," she thought, feeling a spark of hope and determination.
When the call to prayer echoed through the house, it was finally time for iftar. Esma felt a rush of excitement and relief. " - I did it!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with pride. Her family gathered around the table, sharing a moment of joy and gratitude. " - You were amazing," her mother said, hugging her tightly. Esma realized that wisdom came from trying and learning, and she felt all grown up.

Un'Avventura Natalizia Incantata
Una notte, mentre la neve cadeva soffice come piume, Diego Amendola, Ariana, Mattia e tutti gli altri bambini – tra cui Amelia, Alessia Tamara, Raffaele, Eleonora, Samuele, Leonardo, Diego di Verde, Athena Jolene, Hanine, Tyler, Alessio, Melanie, Safae, Zara, Traian, Filippo, Luca e Luigi – si ritrovarono magicamente trasportati in una slitta volante che sfrecciava tra le stelle. Con grande stupore, si accorsero di essere diretti verso il Polo Nord. "Dove stiamo andando?" chiese Diego Amendola, sfregandosi gli occhi. "A casa di Babbo Natale!" rispose Ariana, eccitatissima. Quando arrivarono, furono accolti da un'atmosfera magica. Le renne pascolavano tranquille, gli elfi correvano qua e là tra le casette di pan di zenzero, e l'odore di biscotti appena sfornati inebriava l'aria. Babbo Natale, con la sua lunga barba bianca e gli occhi scintillanti, li accolse calorosamente. "Benvenuti, bambini! Avevo proprio bisogno del vostro aiuto. Quest'anno la lista dei desideri è più lunga che mai!" Così, ognuno trovò un compito da svolgere. Mattia e Filippo aiutarono a imballare i giocattoli, mentre Amelia e Alessia Tamara decoravano gli alberi di Natale con palline scintillanti e nastri colorati. Diego di Verde e Athena Jolene si occuparono delle renne, spazzolandole e dandogli da mangiare delle carote. Hanine e Tyler prepararono dei deliziosi biscotti al cioccolato, mentre Samuele e Leonardo costruirono delle casette di pan di zenzero. Raffaele e Eleonora, con le loro voci melodiose, cantarono canzoncine natalizie per rallegrare tutti. Safae e Zara disegnarono bellissimi biglietti d'auguri, mentre Traian e Alessio costruirono delle slitte giocattolo. Alessio, in particolare, era molto bravo a costruire e la sua slitta era la più veloce di tutte. A un certo punto, si accorsero che mancavano alcune luci per illuminare la fabbrica dei giocattoli. "Come faremo a vedere quello che stiamo facendo?" si chiese Melanie, un po' preoccupata. "Potremmo usare i nostri poteri magici!" propose Leonardo, l'amante della scienza. "Se tutti insieme concentreremo la nostra energia, potremo creare della luce!" E così fecero, mettendo le mani sulle pareti e immaginando una luce brillante. All'improvviso, la fabbrica si illuminò di una luce magica, creata dalla loro amicizia e dalla loro immaginazione. Babbo Natale, sorpreso e commosso, disse: "Avete visto cosa siete capaci di fare? La vostra amicizia e la vostra creatività hanno creato una magia speciale. Ricordatevi sempre che ognuno di voi ha un dono unico e che insieme possiamo fare grandi cose". Prima di tornare a casa, Babbo Natale chiese ai bambini di preparare un regalo speciale per un bambino che non aveva molti giocattoli. I bambini, commossi, si misero subito al lavoro. Disegnarono dei bellissimi disegni, scrissero delle lettere affettuose e prepararono dei piccoli doni fatti a mano. Luigi, ad esempio, che era bravissimo a costruire con i Lego, creò un piccolo castello per il bambino. Tornati a casa, erano felici e orgogliosi di aver aiutato Babbo Natale. Capirono che il vero spirito del Natale è donare e condividere con gli altri. E ogni volta che guardavano l'albero di Natale, ricordavano la notte magica al Polo Nord e l'importanza dell'amicizia.
