Fire hooves

Author's name: Ms. Sara Ahmed

Daqsa'a repeatedly wondered to herself about the vast difference between Maliha and her husband Dhari in vitality, splendor and freshness. Although he is her younger brother, he has become an old man, showing signs of aging. Wrinkles are engraved on his face, hands and feet, and signs of misery are evident in his palms, his slow movement, and the arch of his back. While his wife Maliha appears next to him to be a woman in her thirties, in the prime of her youth. What increased Daqsa'a's confusion and astonishment was that Maliha performs hard work every day, and despite that, she does not become exhausted, as if she has the strength of a twenty-year-old woman. Age has not affected her at all. The wrinkles of time have not approached her, nor has her back bent. Rather, it has perhaps increased her beauty.
