#6: Brave little Gad

[A true story]
Gad lives in Syria.  When he was 4, a civil war (جنگ داخلی) started. For 8 years he has lived inside ( داخل ) his house. He cannot go outside. He cannot go to school. He cannot play with friends.
     But Gad is very strong ( قوی ). He does not feel sad. He does not feel sorry for himself (برای خودت متاسف باش). When you talk to him he loves to smile.
     Do you know what Gad did?  He taught himself (به خودت یاد بده) English, French and Aramaic. (His first language is Arabic.)  He is 12 years old and knows 4 languages!
    Languages are not just words. A language is a world of ideas ( دنیای ایده ها ) and wonder- ful (فوق العاده) ways of thinking (روش های تفکر).
    Gad knows in difficult times (زمان های سخت) we can grow (در حال رشد). We can learn. We can love life and make ourselves better
( خودمان را بهتر کنیم ).
