The story of Aunt Fawzia
From the series Jad and Tala
Jad and Tala's family spend the weekend at Aunt Fawzia's farm, where everyone enjoys playing, watching the animals, and eating grilled meat. The next day, Jad and Tala go with Aunt Fawzia on a tour around the farm, carrying bags for them to put whatever they like in.
I wonder what Jad and Tala will pack in the bags? And what's causing the rattling sound inside them?
Parents and Teachers Guide
Children often enjoy visiting their relatives and spending time with them, especially if they have their own farm, where they enjoy the beautiful natural atmosphere and fresh air. Here is Jad and Tala's family spending the weekend at Aunt Fawzia's farm. Jad, Tala and Zozo enjoy watching the ducks and chickens, and everyone helps prepare lunch. Tala and Zozo pick vegetables with Aunt Fawzia to make salad, and Baba prepares the delicious grilled food. In the afternoon, they play traditional games together like tug of war and jump rope. The next morning, Jad and Tala go with Aunt Fawzia for a tour around the farm, carrying bags to collect the beautiful things they find. At the farm, they put the contents of the bags on the table and design a beautiful painting from them. However, Jad and Tala hear rustling sounds in the bags, and Tala finds a silkworm in her bag, and Jad finds a ladybug called "Umm Ali".
