Talking to My Auntie Olla
Mohamed loves sharing his adventures with his Aunty Olla in Estonia. But when Mohamed accidentally tells a little lie, he must find a way to be honest and make things right again.
Mohamed was excited to talk to his Aunty Olla. He loved telling her about his fun adventures in Qatar, like swimming. But today, Mohamed had a problem. He had told Aunty Olla he won a swimming race, but he didn't really win. Mohamed felt bad for not being honest.
Mohamed tried to think of how to tell Aunty Olla the truth. He worried she would be upset with him. - What if she doesn't want to talk to me anymore? Mohamed wondered. He decided to call her anyway, but his hands were shaky. Mohamed didn't know what to say.
When Mohamed started the call, Aunty Olla greeted him with a smile. - How was the big race? she asked. Mohamed paused, trying to find the right words. But instead, he said, - It was great! He felt even worse because he wasn't being honest. His heart felt heavy like a stone.
Mohamed thought about telling the truth but was too scared. He didn't want to disappoint Aunty Olla. - Maybe I should never talk about the race again, Mohamed thought sadly. He was about to hang up when Aunty Olla said something that changed everything. - Remember, it's always okay to be honest, no matter what.
Aunty Olla's words gave Mohamed a new idea. - I should tell her the truth! he decided. Mohamed took a deep breath and said, - Aunty Olla, I have to tell you something. I didn't really win the race. Aunty Olla smiled kindly and said, - Thank you for being honest, Mohamed.
Mohamed felt a weight lift off his shoulders. - I'm proud of you for telling the truth, Aunty Olla said. Mohamed promised himself to always be honest from now on. He felt happy knowing Aunty Olla still loved him. - Let's talk about your next adventure, she suggested with a wink.
