The Story of Rahaf, the Honest Girl
The story of Rahaf, the Honest Girl, is inspired by a true story that happened to Yemeni girl Rahaf Al-Khayyati. In one of Sana’a’s schools, Rahaf set a wonderful example of honesty.
One day, the beautiful Rahaf was sitting in front of the television watching her favorite show. Suddenly, the doorbell rang and her brother Yousef, the hero, jumped up to open it.
Rahaf heard the voices of children she knew, so she realized that her mother’s cousin had visited.
She left everything in her hands and ran towards the door, happy to see her friends Zahra and Alaa.
Rahaf was kind-hearted and loved people. She treated them with kindness and compassion.
The guest sat with Rahf’s mother, and Rahf went to her room to play with the little girls.
Zahra had some money in her purse, and while she was playing, the money fell to the ground.
Rahf found the money. She took it and went to her mother and said, “Mom, I found this money in the room and I don’t know who it belongs to!”
Her mother said, “Leave it in your pocket until someone asks about his lost money. If someone asks about any money he lost, ask him about the amount. If he answers correctly, then give it back to him.”
Rahf was an honest and kind child, and she obeyed her mother a lot and never made her angry. The little girl liked the idea and hid the money in her pocket.
While she was playing with her friends, Zahra began to check her purse as if she had lost something.
Rahf knew that Zahra had lost something and approached her gently and asked, “Did you lose anything?”
Zahra was embarrassed to speak and afraid of being misunderstood, so she replied, “No, I didn’t lose anything.”
And she turned to her sister Alaa to play with her and try to make her laugh.
Rahaf approached Zahra and asked her again:
“Are you sure you didn’t lose anything?”
Zahra felt embarrassed and began to stammer, saying:
“Actually, it seems that I forgot my money at home.”
The beautiful Rahaf smiled and took the money out of her pocket and asked Zahra:
“Is this what you lost, Zahra?”
Zahra smiled a wide smile and she was very happy and said to Rahaf:
“Thank you so much.. I really thought I had lost it.”
The Story of Rahaf In School
The following day, Rahaf woke up early to go to school and put on her beautiful bag, and waited for the bus. The bus came and took her to school. When Rahaf arrived at the school gate, she found a beautiful pen in the schoolyard.
The beautiful Rahaf took the pen and put it in her bag so that the person who lost it could look for it.
Then a mischievous girl came up to her and said sarcastically:
“What do you need the pen for when your bag is full of pens!”
But the polite Rahaf did not want to answer her.
At the end of the school day, Rahaf was surprised that no one had looked for the pen!
Rahaf was amazed and stood in the schoolyard, waiting for someone to look for her pen, but to no avail!
The bus driver got off and asked her to hurry up, but she begged him to wait a little longer.
The teacher approached her with a smile and then came closer and asked her:
“Why are you standing here alone in the sun, my baby?”
Rahaf replied:
“I found a pen in the morning and I’m waiting for its owner to come looking for it.”
The teacher smiled at Rahaf’s honesty and said to her:
“Usually, people lose hope in public places and don’t look for their lost items, especially if they are small. Thank God there are children like you, Rahaf, in the school.”
The teacher took the pen and put it in the Lost Found box. After that, the beautiful Rahaf went back home.
She changed her clothes and sat watching her mother prepare lunch, thinking about what happened at school and learning that honesty is a great quality that makes a person noble and loved by God.
Honesty is a beautiful and rare quality, and the beautiful Rahaf was honest, so everyone at school loved her and her family loved her very much.
