A Simple Dream and a Sweet Treat
I was really happy when I passed my middle school test in Sweida. To celebrate, I wanted to buy a yummy cake from Damascus, the busy city nearby. I had only one coin, but I was hopeful as I started my journey.
The Enchanting Markets of Damascus
Damascus is a special place with amazing markets and lots of yummy treats. I went to a sweet shop near Jabi Gate and asked for a kilogram of cake and sweets. But when it was time to pay, I found out my pocket was empty. I said sorry and promised to come back with the money.
Unexpected Kindness
To my surprise, the shopkeeper invited me in, offering tea while his son fetched my purchased items. Astonishingly, the shopkeeper told me to take the sweets and return the money when I came back to Damascus. Overwhelmed, I left with the treats in hand.
A Promise Kept and Unexpected Rewards
Days later, unable to repay the debt, the shopkeeper’s son found me. Grateful for their honesty, I returned to Damascus with the borrowed money and a heartfelt gift – homemade sweet bread. The shopkeeper not only accepted the repayment but also gave me a kilogram of honey-soaked delicacies.
A Tale Echoing Through Generations
A long time ago, there was a very nice person who owned a store. This person was so kind and generous that their memory became something very special in my life.

An Unspoken Pact: Paying It Forward
Because the shopkeeper was so kind to me, I decided to do something nice too. I baked some delicious sweet bread and gave back the money I had borrowed.

The shopkeeper’s kindness had a big effect on my family, and it continues to influence how we treat others for many generations.
The Ripple Effect of Kindness
As I shared this story with my family, it became clear how the generosity of one person can have a lasting impact. Inspired by the tale, my son motivates me to keep spreading kindness, stressing the ripple effect it brings.
