Yes we know it’s your turtle, but it is a

soul in the end.

It deserves to live in peace and

tranquility.

Of course I know, I love it so much.. I was just playing

Parking in prohibited places

How about having a gathering in the

park next weekend?

Nice idea, next Saturday then, the

weather will be lovely.

have you agreed on the outing details?

Yes and we will take our lunch there.. We will

move at 12 pm.

Hello Abu Fahd, we moved now.. let’s meet at the

park.

We will ar-rive on time Insha’ Allah.

It seems that the parking is

very busy today.

Salem kept on searching for a vacant parking lot.

Engineer Salem

There Salem, a car is

leaving.

Okay, a very good place.

Have you arrived Abu

Fahd?Yes and we found

an excellent space to park.

Salem was surprised when he saw Abu Fahd’s car parked under the bridge near

the park.

Is this the space you meant Abu

Fahd?

Yes, as you see. Easy place under

shade to protect the car from the sun.

But you know it’s illegal!

It’s not only me, the park parking is full.. Oh, by the way how did you park Salem?

I had patience till I found a suitable one.

Please move your car, this place is illegal, let’s

search together for a systematic parking.

Good idea, thanks for the advice.. let’s leave our stuff to the family and

they go to the park till we find a parking place.

Dangerous shelter

Ohh! I’m too late and my

child is alone at home. I hope he is still sleeping or else he will not find me.

Oh No! How did he get there?!

Mom.. Mom.

Help me.. my son in danger.

A gathering of people watched the child in astonishment & fear.

Oh God!

Look there!for sure he will fall.

Someone needs

help.. Here I come

Thank you Hero, you rescued

my child from a certain death.

Don’t thank me Ma’am, it’s my duty. But you can’t leave your child at home and leave like

that. You think the house is a safe shelter for children, though it may become one of the most

dangerous places.

But I closed all doors and windows before

I go out.

Even if you’ve done that, you’ve to put away all the furniture not to be under the window and

secure all latches.

Okay, I promise I’ll be more cautious

in the future.

There are many other dangers too. If you’ve medicine at

home make sure to put them in a locked locker. Avoid putting

food or other things on the cooker so not to make children

curious to play with it.

That’s a good point, I’ll make sure to follow what you said Nader.

Thanks a lot for saving his life.

Glory be to Allah, amazing!

What is it Alia?

I just finished reading an

information about a stunning natural

phenomenon about the aurora.

What is Aurora?

Aurora, sometimes referred to as polar

light, is a breathtaking phenomenon that

happens after sunset and displays an array of

beautiful colorful lights in the sky.

Where do Auroras happen, I never heard about it

before!

They usually happen in the North and the

South Pole of our planet; they also form on other planets in the

Solar System, including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,

Neptune and Mars.

How do they form?The Sun is the main cause of

the aurora. As solar explosions form the solar wind, which is very harmful to every living

organism on the Earth.

When these solar winds reach Earth, the Earth’s

protective magnetic field works as a shield to protect us. However, some of these

particles can travel down to the earth’s atmosphere,

releasing energy in the form of amazing aurora lights.

Auroras appear in many different amazing shapes. And the common shapes of auroras are, Discrete aurora: this looks

like colored curtains that stretch high across the sky. This

aurora is shaped like arcs and long bands.

This is a featureless colored glow in the sky. It has no specific shape in the sky,

but it is scattered and could be mistaken for translucent

clouds.

What are auroras colors?

Red, green which is most common color,

blue, yellow and pink.

Wow really a stunning

phenomenon.

Sahih, the Roads FriendHazardous Loads

16 - 17

Welcome dear friends, here we meet again. Today our talk

is about Truckloads and how dangerous they may be in the street if safety measures not

taken seriously.

Hazardous loads including fuels and building materials such as

stone, iron, etc., may cause accidents, God forbid.

The main reason for these accidents are two things: First is not fastening the

load safe and sound.

The second is the driver himself when he doesn’t

commit to his path or to the road speed.

That’s why, committing to regulations and safety measures is a must. That is applied on both small and big trucks for the safety of truck

driver and other road users.
