Zahraa’s heart was busy again as she saw the end of the alley:‍
‍
– Do you want me to take you to the school door?‍
‍
– No… No, here is enough… I’ve tired you out with me. I think that on that side of the street there are a lot of students and they are going to school, meaning the same place I intend to go to, I am very grateful to you for showing me the way and this is the first day of school and of course you want to see your friends and colleagues, go quickly so you don’t be late, see you and may God protect you. Zahraa said goodbye to him and started jogging, but she looked back and saw the man slowly driving his wheelchair, she said to herself ((He must be light in weight to be able to drive his wheelchair this distance, I must ask my mother about the weight of a human being without feet…))‍
‍
Zahraa was so busy playing with her friends that she completely forgot about her meeting with the strange man, and the next day while she was rushing towards her school in the same alley… she did not remember that she met the strange man in the same place where she had seen him before the day before and when she reached the place she stopped all at once… she found the same strange man in the same place and in his hand was a paper box wrapped from the top with a beautiful ribbon saying:‍
‍
– Madam Zahraa! Come here for a moment please? I have work to do with you!‍
‍
Zahraa walked towards the man without hesitation.‍
‍
– Okay, Madam Zahraa! Since you helped me yesterday by guiding me, I have a debt on my neck and therefore it is my duty to return this favor to you. As far as I know, you are in the third grade. Accordingly, I bought you a suitable gift and I hope you like it.‍
‍
Zahra refused to take the gift:‍
‍
– No, thank you very much…‍
‍
– No, you must take it, rest assured, my wife’s name is (Mahbouba), tell your mother that, she knows her and therefore she will not tell you or ask you why you are taking something from strangers.‍
‍
Zahra accepted the gift with great shyness, opened her bag and put it in it:‍
‍
– Then I must take you to school.‍
‍
– No, no, yesterday was the first day, but today I know the way there and I can go alone… I will not tire you out again, go to your school, your friends are waiting for you.‍
‍
With this argument, Zahra could not change the man’s mind:‍
‍
– Then bye.‍
