In the sun-soaked city of Sfax, Tunisia, a joyful summer awaits three cousins, Hedi, Halima, and Khadija. Their bond is tested when they face a mysterious problem that challenges their understanding of tolerance. Will their love and laughter help them overcome the obstacles and teach them the true meaning of acceptance?
In the sun-soaked city of Sfax, Tunisia, a joyful four-year-old named Hedi eagerly awaited the arrival of summer. His cousins, Halima and Khadija, were coming from far away to spend the summer with him. But as they arrived, Hedi noticed something troubling. Some children at the beach were not playing nicely with each other. They were arguing about who could build the biggest sandcastle. Halima, Hedi, and Khadija felt sad to see everyone fighting.
Hedi wanted to show his cousins a fun time, but the arguing children made it hard. Halima had an idea to build a huge sandcastle together with everyone. But when they asked the other kids to join, they refused. - Why don't they want to play with us? Halima asked. - Maybe they think we're different, Hedi replied. The cousins felt disappointed but didn't give up.
The next day, they tried again to make friends. They brought colorful seashells to share. But one child said, - We don't need your shells! Hedi felt his heart sink. - What can we do now? Khadija asked. - Let's just keep trying, Halima said with a hopeful smile.
After more attempts, the cousins felt like giving up. - Maybe we should just play by ourselves, Hedi sighed. - But I really wanted to make new friends, Halima said, looking at the ground. - Me too, Khadija added softly. They sat quietly, feeling sad and unsure of what to do next.
Suddenly, an old fisherman approached them. - You know, the sea is full of different fish, but they all live together, he said with a kind smile. - Maybe you can show them how fun it is to play together. Halima's eyes lit up. - We can try one more time! she said. - Let's make the biggest sandcastle ever and invite everyone to see it!
The next day, the cousins started building the biggest sandcastle they could. This time, they didn't ask the other kids to join. They just smiled and kept building. Slowly, the curious children came closer. - Wow, can we help? one of them asked. - Of course! Halima said with a big grin. Soon, they were all working together, laughing and sharing. By the end of the day, the biggest sandcastle stood tall, and new friendships were made. The cousins learned that sometimes, showing kindness and patience can bring everyone together, no matter how different they are.
