The Kindness of Aisha
In a small village in Saudi Arabia, seven-year-old Aisha encounters a problem that challenges her generosity. When she meets a sad old man without food, she tries to share her kindness but faces unexpected obstacles. Will Aisha's determination to help others overcome these challenges?
Once upon a time, in a small village in Saudi Arabia, there lived a kind girl named Aisha. She was seven years old, with shiny black hair, and loved helping others. One day, Aisha saw an old man sitting on a bench who seemed very sad. She approached him and asked, - Why are you sad, sir? The man replied, - I have no food to eat. Aisha wanted to help him, but she didn't know how to get food for him.
Determined to help, Aisha ran home to ask her mother for some food. But when she arrived, her mother was busy and had no bread left. - What should I do now? Aisha wondered aloud. She felt sad that she couldn't help the old man. Just then, her neighbor, Mrs. Fatima, called out, - Is everything okay, Aisha? But Aisha was too upset to reply.
Later, Aisha visited her friend Amal to see if she could help. But Amal was busy with her chores and couldn't spare any food. - I'm sorry, Aisha, Amal said. Aisha started to feel hopeless. She went to the village well to think, but even the cheerful chatter of the villagers couldn't lift her spirits. - How can I help the old man? she sighed.
Feeling defeated, Aisha sat on the steps of the village mosque, thinking she might never solve the problem. She watched the sun setting over the minarets and whispered, - Maybe I should give up. Just then, the village imam walked by and noticed her sadness. - What troubles you, young Aisha? he asked gently. Aisha poured out her worries to him.
The imam smiled kindly and said, - Aisha, sometimes kindness is not about having much. He handed her a small basket of dates. - Share these with the old man. It's the thought that counts. Aisha's eyes sparkled with hope. She thanked the imam and ran back to the bench where the old man sat.
Aisha handed the dates to the old man with a big smile. - Here you go, sir. I hope this helps. The old man looked at the dates and then at Aisha, his eyes filling with gratitude. - Thank you, dear child, he said, smiling warmly. Aisha felt a glow of happiness inside. She learned that even a small act of kindness can make a big difference.
