Today is Hassan’s birthday, and I’m really looking forward to it.
Hassan was surprised when he saw the cake because his mom and dad had bought separate cakes, so there were two of them.
So Hassan asked his mother and father.
I only need one cake, can I give the other to a poor child?
My parents agreed that this was a good idea.
Hassan wanted to give it to San, Marie’s orphan, whom he had talked to in town.
So he asked his mother to cut the cake in two and went to Saint-Mary’s house.
This is my birthday cake, please eat it!
Thank you!
Thank you!
San and Marie decided to give some of the cake to children from poor families.
San and Marie were given two pieces of cake, but they had to share more with six poor children they met.
Then, holding up the eight cakes, the orphaned brother and his six other children said, “Thank you, Hassan.”
After that, children from poor families who heard about the cake also dreamed of one day being able to eat it themselves. And before long, the number of dream cakes had grown to a thousand.
