 Written by: Nasratullah Samim 

Nasrat and Anwar were cousins. Anwar's house was in a cold area but Nasrat was living in a hot place. One day, Anwar went with his family to Nusrat's house. His cousins ​​were very happy to visist Nasrat at their home.

A few minutes later, Anwar wanted Nasrat to go out with him for playing but Nasrat denied it and said that outside is very hot. Anwar did not accept and went outside with Nasrat.

Anwar asked Nusrat to play with him in the village field, but Nusrat said that his family doesn’t allow him to play in the sun because he would get sick. 

Anwar said that they always play on the mountain of his village in the afternoon but do not get sick. 

Nasrat went back home and Anwar was walking alone in the field to see if any boy comes to play with him, but no one came. It was getting hot. He leans on the pillar of the volleyball court in the village and went to sleep due to the heat.

Anwar heard an unfamiliar voice when he was asleep and asked him what he is doing here. Anwar asked about him. The opposite side replied that it was the sun. Anwar was very angry with him and said that no one is playing with him because of him, and when he wanted to sunbathe for a moment, the sun became hotter and he went to sleep.

The worst thing is that it dried up the water in his body and caused him a headache. The sun blamed Anwar for playing in the sun. Anwar said that if the sun was not hot, Nasrat would have played with him. The sun did not accept his fault and it blamed Anwar.

Anwar got angry and he picked up a stone and hit the sun on it, but the stone did not reach. The sun kindly told him that Anwar has to accept his fault. Anwar said that he would not talk to the sun anymore and asked him why he is so hot.

The sun replied that if it does not heat up, the fruits will remain raw. Wheat, corn, grains, and all fruits need its warmth. Anwar told him that it was true but why did he cause him a headache and dizziness.

The sun showed him some boys, one of whom was wearing a white handkerchief, the other was holding an umbrella over his head, and the other was wearing a white hat. 

The sun added that if Anwar also holds an umbrella or puts a handkerchief or a hat, it cannot harm him.

Anwar thanked the sun for informing him of his advantages and disadvantages.

At this time, Nasrat came and found Anwar in a very bad health condition. He awakened Anwar and asked about his health. Anwar replied that he dreamt sun and the sun informed him about all his advantages and disadvantages.

Anwar promised that he will never play in the sun again and will inform his friends about the advantages and disadvantages of the sun.
