One day, the girl Sumra asked her mother to make her some sweets she loved a lot. The mother asked her to go to the supermarket to buy eggs so she could make sweets for her. Indeed, Sumra went, very happy.
On the way, Sumra met her little neighbor Ubeer and asked her, “Where are you going, oh my neighbor?” Ubeer answered, “Going to the store to buy some eggs so my mother can prepare food for us.” Sumra answered, saying, “I’m also going there to buy eggs.”
After the girls bought eggs from the supermarket, they both returned together from the same path they had come by. However, Ubeer tripped while walking and fell without feeling, and all the eggs broke. So Sumra immediately helped her neighbor until she was able to stand on her feet.
When Ubeer stood up and discovered that all the eggs had broken, Ubeer remained crying bitterly and began saying, “I no longer have any money, and not even with my mother until I buy more eggs another time. What will I tell my mother now? What will my sister and I eat?”
Sumra knew well that Ubeer was very poor. Her father had passed away to God. She knew that her mother used to provide assistance to them. So Sumra thought quickly, then said to her, “No need for sadness, oh my neighbor Ubeer. I’ll give you all the eggs I bought.”
Ubeer said, “You’re not at fault, oh my neighbor Sumra. And how’s that? That shouldn’t be. What will you do, oh Sumra?” Sumra answered, saying, “No need to think about the matter, oh my dear neighbor. Only now, take these eggs because I don’t need them presently.” Ubeer felt overflowing happiness and here thanked Sumra, apologizing to her intensely.
Sumra returned to her home without eggs. Her mother asked about the eggs, and Sumra told her what had happened with Ubeer. The mother felt extreme pride at her daughter because she had helped the needy, who truly deserved assistance. The mother said with overflowing happiness, “Well done, oh my dear daughter. Thank God for you. You felt with intense compassion the dilemma Ubeer was about to fall into, had it not been for your assistance and the matter was resolved quickly. As for now, you have more money. Go buy some eggs another time, and I’ll immediately prepare the best and most delicious types of sweets for you.”
