Chapter 1: The Burden of the Hills
Sami lived in a quiet village nestled between two hills. Every morning, he walked to school past neighbors carrying heavy baskets of vegetables, firewood, or laundry. The paths were uneven, and the hills made every step harder. One day, he saw old Mr. Harun struggling to carry a sack of potatoes. Sami rushed to help. “Thank you, boy,” Harun said, panting. “These hills are getting steeper every year.” That night, Sami sat by the window, watching the moon rise. “There must be a better way,” he whispered.
