Early one morning, Umar was walking to the bus stop to catch a bus to school. A loud,
screeching noise suddenly pierced the air. Umar realized that there had been an accident. A small
boy was lying unconscious on the road, and the car that had hit him had already run away.
Umar was confused and frightened. “is the boy dead?” Umar asked himself. However, the
boy was still breathing. Umar could see that the boy had bruises all over his face and arms.
Umar did not know what to do. Few cars passed along this road at this time of the day.
The nearest house which he could go to for help was his own, but it would take ten minutes to
walk there. Umar finally decided to stay with the boy until somebody came by.
Time passed very slowly – so it seemed to Umar. The boy was still unconscious, and
Umar prayed for the boy to regain consciousness.
Umar sprang to his feet at the sound of an approaching car. He waved frantically at the
driver to stop. Umar asked the driver, ”You will help this boy, won ’t you, Sir?” The driver was
kind. He carried the injuried boy to the car. Umar went with them to the hospital. Later, the driver
took Umar to the police station to report the accident.

“Once upon a time a hawk feel in love with a hen. The hawk flew down from the sky and
asked the hen, “Won’t you marry me?”
The hen loved the brave, strong hawk and wishes to marry him. But she said, ”I cannot fly
as high as you can. If you give me time, I may learn to fly as high as you. Then, we can fly
together.”
The hawk agreed. Before he went away, he gave the hen a ring. “This is to show that you
have promised to marry me, ”said the hawk.
So it happened that the hen had already promised to marry a rooster. So, when the rooster
saw the ring, he became very angry. “Throw that ring away at once! Didn ’t you tell the hawk that
you’d already promised to marry me?” shouted the rooster .The hen was so frightened at the
rooster anger that she threw away the ring immediately.
When the hawk came the next day, the hen told him the truth. The hawk was so furious
that he cursed the hen. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Now, You’ll always be scratching the
earth, and I’ll always be flying above you to catch your children, ”said the hawk.
The curse seems to have come true.
