Numan's Adventures

Author's name: Turki Al-Dahmani

Naaman sprinted towards the green goal, following his father's command. His father pursued him halfway, but due to his age and weight, he couldn't catch him. Naaman had committed a heinous and unforgivable act: he had placed a wide rope around Noor's neck and then pulled it taut, nearly strangling him. Had his father, Salim, not intervened just in time, Noor would have been killed. Naaman, seventeen years old and slender, ran like a gazelle fleeing a predator. Naaman saw that he had gone a long way from the farm, so after a long run he stopped at an apple tree. He felt thirsty, so he picked one of them, then sat under the tree eating that delicious apple. He did not think for a moment about the punishment that would befall him when he returned home. Instead of thinking of a way to apologize for this action, he sat in that manner of recklessness. Naaman has no brothers except one named Othman, who is younger than him, but he is better than Naaman, as he helps his father on the farm and does not do anything that angers him, but rather he is careful, while Naaman is the complete opposite of his brother.
