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.
