My Lovely Family
Join Helen, a kind-hearted seven-year-old, as she navigates the bustling city of Istanbul, learning the importance of tolerance within her diverse family. When a misunderstanding causes tension at home, Helen embarks on a heartfelt journey to bring everyone back together, discovering the beauty of acceptance and love along the way.
Helen loved her family dearly, but one day, a big disagreement erupted at the dinner table. Her parents were arguing about where to spend the next family vacation. Helen felt the tension in the air and wanted to help. She wished for a family where everyone understood each other. But how could she make that happen?
Helen decided to talk to her brother, hoping he could help resolve the problem. But her brother was too busy playing video games to listen. - Why won't you help? Helen pleaded. - It's not my problem, he replied. Helen felt more alone than ever.
Helen tried asking her grandmother for advice, but the language barrier made it difficult. Her grandmother spoke mostly Turkish, while Helen's Turkish was limited. - Can you help with our family problem? Helen asked slowly. Her grandmother smiled, nodding but not understanding. It seemed like every attempt to solve the problem met with more obstacles.
Feeling overwhelmed, Helen thought about giving up. She sat by her window, watching the busy city below. - Maybe I can't fix this, she sighed to herself. The honking cars and distant calls to prayer filled the air. Helen felt so small in such a big city.
Just then, her father entered the room. - I see you're upset, he said gently. Helen explained her wish for a happy family. Her father listened and suggested they all share their thoughts openly. - Let's have a family meeting, he proposed. Helen felt hopeful again.
At the family meeting, everyone shared their feelings. Helen's parents realized their disagreement wasn't worth upsetting everyone. - We should listen to each other more, her mother said. - Yes, and appreciate our differences, her father added. Helen felt joy as her family hugged, understanding the true meaning of tolerance.
