The story...
Under the vast moonlit sky of the desert, a soft wind stirred the golden sands beneath the hooves of a prized Arabian mare. A young boy, no more than ten years old, led the mare with a steady hand, guiding his younger brother who sat proudly atop the horse’s back. Her sleek, polished coat gleamed in the moonlight, a testament to the family’s great care and affection for her. She was the pride of their household, swift as the desert winds, and tonight, she carried more than just her own beauty — she bore the brothers’ dreams.
The boy’s eyes gleamed as he glanced toward the large family tent. Inside, his father and uncles were seated in a semi-circle, their figures swathed in flowing robes. Their soft laughter mingled with the sound of bubbling tea being poured from a golden kettle. The tent, adorned with colorful fringes and richly woven carpets, glowed warmly, a beacon of family and tradition under the starlit heavens. It was a night of peace, of togetherness, as the family gathered to share stories and sip tea long into the night.
The younger brother, barely old enough to hold the reins, tugged eagerly at the boy’s sleeve. “Are we going to ride soon?” he whispered, his wide eyes reflecting the light of the rising moon.
“Not tonight,” the boy replied gently, though he, too, longed to ride into the night, feeling the wind on his face and the freedom of the open desert. “Father says we must be patient. There will be many rides, but for now, we watch and listen.”
The mare neighed softly, as if understanding the unspoken bond between the brothers. Together, they approached the tent, and the boy’s heart swelled with pride as his father’s gaze turned toward them, nodding in approval.
“Come, my sons,” their father called from the tent, his voice deep and welcoming. “Join us for tea. There will be time for the mare to run, but tonight we share stories.”
With one last glance at the sky, the boys smiled at each other and led the mare toward her resting place. The night was young, and the tales within the tent were waiting, weaving the past with the present, as endless as the stars above the desert.
