Love the book

Aina! Why haven’t you reached the park yet?” Falah said to Ahmed and Hashim in annoyance. Who had been waiting for Aina in the park for the past half an hour. Aina sent a message to the group this morning asking all the kids to come to the park at 4pm because Aina had a “surprise” for them. This was the reason why Falah, Ahmed and Hashim had reached the park but Aina had not reached yet.

Hey, look at that! Aina is coming” Ahmed said attracting everyone.
Assalam Alaikum: Dear friends! Sorry I’m a little late” Aina addressed everyone and said, “Yes, you are late, but now hurry up and tell us about the surprise, we are dying to know.” Falah was excited. He said.

Yes of course! So here’s the surprise Aina said while holding the children’s colorful magazines and books. “Wow! These are very cute magazines.” Hashim happily said. “It has very cute pictures too. I will color in these pictures. And look at how many funny jokes are in this book.” Ahmad said while turning the pages of the book. “Very good Aina! This is really a beautiful surprise. My mother was telling that she used to read children’s magazines and stories very fondly in her childhood. Where did you get these books and magazines?” Falah asked Aina.
These books have been brought by my uncle. He himself writes stories and recites poems for children.”

Aina told her friends. “Aina! I was thinking why don’t we all create our own little library of just children’s story books, informational magazines and magazines. And then we will invite all the children of our neighborhood to take books and magazines from our library and read them. Because our school parents don’t let us go to the school library, thankfully our families have kept us connected to books. Otherwise, nowadays every child is just crazy about mobile games. We will also teach all these children to love books,” said Falah. “Hey! This is a wonderful idea,” said the other three children excitedly. “After today, whenever we give each other a gift, we will give a book as a gift.” Which will adorn our library.”

Hashim offered another beautiful suggestion. “Absolutely Hashem! You have spoken very well.” All the children said supporting Hashem. This love of books was inherited by these children from their parents and undoubtedly this love of books will continue to be transmitted from generation to generation. These children also decided that on the holiday day all the children will sit in this park and read their favorite book.
