• The Story of the Magical Fountain Jan 19, 2025

  

  In the bustling city of Basra, where merchants from distant lands came to trade their wares and ships sailed the mighty Tigris River, there lived a humble water carrier named Hamid. Every day, from dawn until dusk, he would fill his large clay jars from the public wells and carry them through the narrow streets, selling cool, clean water to those who thirsted.

  Hamid was a man of simple means but generous heart. Though he earned barely enough to feed himself and his elderly mother, he never turned away anyone who needed water but could not pay. His kindness was well known throughout the poorest quarters of the city, where he was beloved by children and blessed by grateful mothers.
