The orphan's Cow

The Story of the Orphans' Cow In a small village, there lived three orphaned brothers with their elderly mother. They had only one cow, which they depended on for their livelihood. The cow provided them with milk, which they sold to make a living. Despite their poverty, they were content with what they had. One day, a greedy rich man passed by and admired the cow. He wanted to buy it, but the mother and her children refused to sell it, as it was their only source of income.

Helping those in need cannot be bought with gold.” The king was very impressed by his child's words and left his throne to him.

He decided to teach the person responsible a lesson he would never forget. The source of the sound was the jeweler Marzouk, the owner of the shop facing the sultan’s palace. Every morning, as he opened his shop, he would say: "O Opener, O All-Knowing, O Provider, O Generous One... Your power, O Lord, is great and capable of everything. Even if something falls into the sea, Your power can bring it back to the shore." The sultan sent his minister and ordered him to bring his precious golden ring. When the minister arrived at Marzouk’s shop, he was warmly welcomed. The sultan then asked Marzouk to craft a ring identical to his golden one but with a piece of glass instead of the precious ruby. He wanted to wear the fake ring daily and save the real one for special occasions. The sultan also instructed Marzouk to be very careful and not lose ...
