Paper Boat

Written by: Nasratullah Samim

Turiali and Saima, sister and brother, lived in a village. One day, their father came home from the district market and was very happy.

The sister and brother asked him the reason for his happiness.

The father said:

A few years ago, he had lent a few thousand Afghanis to someone, and now he saw him and said, "Let me give you the money."

One condition is that” the brother and sister are surprised.

His father enters the room and opens the door of the bookcase, but suddenly he says what happened.

Toriyali and Saima ask him in surprise what he is looking for, his father says that he left a paper here.

When he gave the money to that person, he wrote on the paper that he had given me this amount of money and signed the signatures of several people.

 Toriyali and Saima are very sad. They say that their uncle's son is getting married in a few days.

If there is no money, where will they buy shoes and clothes? Their father says that there is no money at home, so they cannot buy clothes and shoes.
 
Turiyali goes to his cousin’s house; he asks his uncle's son Shawli that he gave him some papers that he had brought to him the other day.

Shawli says that yesterday he made a lot of paper boats and airplanes.
 
After a while, Touriali goes home, her father asks him where he disappeared, Touriali is very sad and says that he took the paper out of the house.He was joking with his uncle's son, who knew that the paper would be so important; his father says he faced a big loss.
 
If he had not satirized the paper, he would not have taken money from the debtors, he would have bought those clothes and shoes.

Saima is also very sad. Meanwhile Shawli enters and gives his father the paper, when his father opens the paper, he is very happy and says that this is the paper.

Shawli says that he made a plane from this paper the other day.

Behind a big stone, this paper was lying, and he brought it. His father buys clothes and shoes with it.
 
Turiyali promises that after this, he will never take the papers out of the house for fun, so as not to face problems.
