Fadi was an energetic student, but he found math class really hard. He felt frustrated when he tried to solve math problems and couldn’t. One day, during math class, the teacher noticed Fadi looked worried. The teacher walked over to him and asked kindly:
“What’s wrong, Fadi? Do you need some help?”
Fadi replied sadly:
“I don’t understand the math problems, and I feel like I can’t succeed.”
The teacher smiled and said:
“The important thing is not to give up. We’ll try again together.”
During recess, Fadi went outside, thinking about what his teacher had said. He looked at his long shadow stretched out on the ground. It looked so much like him when he moved!
Bedtime stories
Suddenly, he saw a tall shadow standing next to his. Fadi knew it belonged to a tall person. Fadi turned around and found his math teacher standing right behind him. The math teacher came closer to Fadi and asked with a smile:
“Did you feel me standing behind you?”
Fadi smiled at his teacher and said:
“To be honest, I just felt a tall person behind me.”
The teacher’s eyes widened with interest and he asked Fadi:
“And how did you know that the person behind you was tall? Why wouldn’t it be one of your classmates, for example?”
Fadi laughed and answered confidently:
“The shadow was long compared to my shadow on the ground.”
The teacher slapped his forehead in surprise:
“You’re smarter than I thought! How can a genius like you, who can calculate sizes using shadows, hate math!”
Fadi thought for a bit, then asked:
“What does a shadow have to do with math?”
Moral stories for kids
The teacher answered seriously, holding Fadi’s shoulders:
“Length and shortness in shadows, and logical deduction, are all math, Fadi. You’re a genius, but you’re afraid of math.”
For the first time in his life, Fadi felt truly smart after hearing that from his teacher. His confidence grew, so his teacher asked him to follow him to the garden. In the garden, the teacher pointed to some ants crawling around a plant and asked Fadi:
“Can you tell me how many ants there are, Fadi? I can’t see very well.”
Fadi played the hero, quickly counted the ants, and then answered confidently:
“Nine ants, teacher!”
The teacher pretended to be confused and asked him:
“And if these ants join them, how many ants will there be, do you think?”
Fadi quickly counted the ants going in the other direction and answered quickly:
“There are seven ants, which means there will be sixteen ants if they all get together.”
The teacher placed a piece of cookie in front of the ants and said in astonishment:
“This is great! Imagine if each of them goes to their home and invites a friend to this feast made of one cookie. How many ants do you think there will be?”
Fadi laughed, enjoying it, and answered:
“32 ants, teacher!”
The teacher was silent for a moment and seemed sad, then he told Fadi:
“Maybe I can’t write such a large number.”
Fadi quickly dug the number into the dirt with his small finger. The teacher laughed, picked Fadi up in his arms, and told him:
“Don’t you know that you just solved an addition problem and a multiplication problem? This means you’re afraid of math, but you can learn it very easily. You’re a math genius!”

Fadi felt immense joy, especially when the teacher praised him in class. His classmates clapped for him after he solved a similar problem. Fadi realized that his dislike for math was just unfounded fears.
He said happily:
“Now I realize I can succeed if I try hard!”
From that day on, Fadi worked hard in his lessons, and math became one of his favorite subjects.

Kids stories
One morning at the Cubs’ School, students were standing in line, waiting for their turn to enter their classrooms. Shadi, a fourth-grade student, hated standing in line and preferred to get inside quickly.
Sometimes he would cut in front of his classmates and stand at the front. He would try to create a race to the front, which caused chaos and grumbling in the line. One day, the teacher saw Shadi cutting the line, so he decided to do something.
The teacher agreed with a student named Majed to push Shadi and take his spot at the front during the fourth lesson when they went to the playground. This was so Shadi would learn how much chaos he caused every day.
Then, the teacher organized the line to go to the playground, and he made Shadi stand at the front. While in line, Majed smartly and wisely did what the teacher asked him. Shadi got angry and started crying loudly, repeating:
“It’s my spot! You’re a selfish person, Majed, and you don’t know how to follow rules!”
The teacher walked over to them and asked angrily:
“What happened? Why are you two fighting?”
Shadi cried and answered:
“Majed doesn’t respect the rules, teacher! He pushed me from the front to take my place!”
The teacher turned angrily and asked Majed:
“Why are you acting this way, Majed?”
Bedtime stories
Majed smartly replied, pretending to be innocent:
“I always see him doing this in the morning line, so I thought it was normal behavior that no one gets angry about.”
The students’ voices rose, repeating:
“Yes, teacher, Shadi always does that!”
The teacher asked them to calm down and go out to the schoolyard. He turned to Shadi and asked him:
“Do you know, Shadi, that standing in line reflects order and respect?”
Shadi thought about what the teacher said and realized his behavior was wrong. Then he quickly answered:
“Of course, I know! And whoever doesn’t respect their classmates doesn’t deserve their respect.”
The teacher laughed and looked at Majed’s face, who was about to burst out laughing, and asked:
“What punishment does someone who doesn’t respect the rules deserve?”
Shadi bowed his head silently, and Majed quickly replied:
“They should be banned from going out for recess!”

The teacher looked at Majed and ruled strictly and firmly:
“Okay, Majed, if I see you do that again, I’ll keep you in class during recess. Promise me you won’t do it again!”
Majed said, feeling confident:
“I promise, teacher!”
The teacher approached Shadi and asked him:
“Does this satisfy you, Shadi? He promised not to do it again.”
Shadi replied, confused, because he knew he was the one who practiced that wrong behavior every day:
“Yes, it satisfies me, teacher.”
The next day, Shadi stood in line and waited patiently for his turn. He felt happy when he saw that everyone was following the line, and that this behavior reflected respect for everyone. From that day on, Shadi became an example of discipline in the line, and his classmates looked at him with admiration.

In a small house in the middle of the city lived a small family with a child named Danny. Danny loved to eat, but he didn’t care about table manners. He would talk with his mouth full, and sometimes forget to wash his hands before eating.
One day, it was Danny’s birthday, so his mother decided to invite many guests and make cakes and sweets for the occasion. Danny happily smelled the cakes prepared for the guests and asked his mother:
“Who did you make this cake and these donuts for, Mom?”
His mother, busy preparing delicious pastries, replied:
“Many guests will visit us today.”
Danny smiled and asked again:
“And why did so many guests decide to visit us today? Is it a holiday, Mom?”
His mother smiled and replied tenderly:
“You spoiled the surprise! Today is your birthday, Danny. You’re seven years old now!”
Danny was happy and walked around the house joyfully, seeing all the preparations. Then he returned to his mother and asked her:
“Did you buy me a new shirt, Mom?”
His mother smiled, then carried Danny to his room and said to him, teasingly:
“Why are you getting ahead of yourself, Danny?”
Moral stories for kids
Danny looked very handsome in his new clothes. Moments later, guests began to pour into their house, and the house filled with happy children, mothers, and lots of gifts. Before the party started, his mother called him to the room and told him:
“We must wash our hands before eating, and we should start eating slowly. We should avoid talking with our mouths full, and we should also always remember to thank God.”
Danny nodded and said happily:
“I get it, I get it! Now let me go!”
Danny quickly jumped towards the large table full of delicious foods, and the children began to celebrate and sing a beautiful song for him. When everyone finished singing, Danny blew out seven candles on the beautiful cake.
He was supposed to wait a little until his mother divided the delicious cake among the guests, but he started screaming and crying, wanting his share. His mother laughed, embarrassed in front of her guests, and gave him a large piece to quiet him so she could attend to her guests. But he kept crying and sat on the floor, screaming:
“I want some of those donuts, and I want taffy, and chocolate, and juice!”
Kids stories
His mother’s friend, Mrs. Samiha, came closer to help her, feeling how embarrassed she was. She whispered in her ear:
“You take care of the little one, and I’ll handle the guests.”
His mother was happy with this gesture and thanked her. She started filling small plates for Danny to quiet him, while her friend busied herself with hosting the guests.
While the party planner was arranging the party and activities and taking photos, Danny cried whenever his mother stopped him from opening gifts randomly, causing chaos at the party!
After the party ended peacefully, his mother rested, all the guests left, and the planner gave Danny’s mother a memory stick containing all the party photos.
Danny’s mother’s friend, Mrs. Samiha, stayed in the house to help her organize after the party. Danny was sitting on the floor in a strange way, rummaging through the gifts disorganized, when Mrs. Samiha called him to come and see the beautiful photos.
Everyone was surprised by Danny’s face as he cried, his hands wrestling everywhere on the table, and another picture of him with his face smeared with chocolate, crying and pointing to the juice. Another picture showed him holding a gift in one hand and pulling his mother’s hair with the other!
Among all the photos, there was only one beautiful picture: the moment he blew out the candles. Danny was sad when he saw the ugly photos and started crying, saying:
“The photographer deliberately took ugly pictures of me!”
His mother approached him tenderly, while Mrs. Samiha was laughing heartily, and said to him:
“What you’re afraid will show in the pictures, Danny, people have already seen it!”
Danny became silent, sad, and didn’t accept the silly and foolish pictures of himself. His mother told him:
“I told you about table manners before the party and reminded you, but you forgot them.”

Then she added, playfully trying to start fresh with him:
“Next time, don’t do what you did today. Anyway, we have one beautiful picture; we’ll frame it in your room so you remember table manners every time you see it.”
Danny smiled and answered shyly:
“Thank you, Mom, for the delicious food, and the party, and everything.”
His mother smiled and felt proud of her son. From that day on, Danny followed table manners, and when friends visited, he was a good example for the other children.
