The Lost Red Ball: A Tale of Honesty and Kindness

Ali and Ahmed were best friends who loved to go on adventures together. One day, while they were playing in the park, they found a shiny red ball lying in the grass. "Wow, this ball is so cool! Let's keep it," Ali said, his eyes shining with excitement. But Ahmed shook his head. "No, Ali. Someone might have lost it. We should try to find the owner." Ali frowned, but he knew Ahmed was right. So, they decided to ask around and see if anyone had lost a red ball. They went to all the children in the park, but no one claimed the ball. "Maybe we should take it home and keep it safe until we find the owner," Ali suggested. But just then, a little girl came running towards them, tears streaming down her face. "That's my ball! I lost it while playing with my friends," she cried.

Ali and Ahmed smiled and returned the ball to the little girl. She hugged them tightly and said, "Thank you so much for finding my ball. You're both so kind!" As they walked home, Ali asked Ahmed, "Why did you want to return the ball? It was so cool, and we could have kept it." Ahmed looked at Ali and said, "I know, but it's important to be honest and do the right thing. It's not nice to take things that don't belong to us. And helping others always feels good." Ali thought about what Ahmed said and nodded. "You're right. I'm glad we returned the ball. It feels good to help someone." When they reached home, their parents praised them for being honest and kind. Ali and Ahmed felt happy and proud of themselves. They knew that doing good deeds always brought joy and Allah's blessings. And from that day on, they made a promise to always choose honesty and kindness.
