Saamih is a hardworking student,

he loves knowledge, and reviews
his works of school in the house
with care, without tiredness or
boredom.

One night, he was staying up in

his room, he was reviewing his
lessons as his habit. When he felt
thirsty, he stood up to bring a
glass of water for himself.

After Saamih drunk and

quenched (his thirst), he looked
(outside) from his room window
that is overlooking the street. He
saw the quietness is everywhere
and the darkness is covering the
place.

And when he became concerned

about returning to review his
lessons, he noticed on the
distanced an unusual movement
by some of the men. So, he waited
to see what happens.

ey were four men. It appears

that they were strangers. ey
were wandering and pointing at
each others with special signs, so
the residents of the houses would
not recognize them to turn o the
lights on the street.

It increased Saamihs attention to

them, so he hastened to turn o
the light in his room, and begun
to observe them and follow their
movements from his window.

e four strange men came near a

house on the other side of the
street, such that Saamih was able
to see them easily.

e strange men sneaked into the

house very carefully, and after a
little while, a small truck stopped
in front of the house silently.

Saamih looked at the actions of

these men with suspicions, and his
thought guided him to contact
the police department, and he
informed them what he saw.

Saamih took from the table a

small notebook written in it
important telephone numbers, so
he contacted the police
department and informed them
what he saw.

After a little while, the police men

were at the place, they went near
the house silently, and it was but
moments until they arrested the
four men. ey drove them to the
(police) department, and left one
police man to guard the door of
the house.

Saamih sat on his table after he

was assured about what he did,
but he was not able to
concentrate in memorizing his
lessons. He begun to ask himself
about these men, and what they
were trying (to do).

In the morning, Saamih narrated

to his father what happened, so he
praised him for his good action,
and while they were talking, they
heard a knock on the door.
Saamih hurried and opened the
door. He found in front of him a
police man, he requested him to
come to the department to meet
the director of security, to give
him thanks for his beautiful help.

Saamih was accompanied by his

father, so they both went together
to meet the security ocer. He
welcomed them and said to
Saamih: we were able to arrest the
most dangerous gang of theft of
home due to your contacting with
us. erefore, we present to you a
certificate of appreciation and a
amount of money, as a reward for
you, because you are a righteous
and noble citizen.
