(After Ahmed finished drawing the five children, he sat smiling among them, feeling the warmth of the moment and the spirit of friendship that had begun to form between him and the small Tanaka family. Misaki watched the scene from a distance with a soft smile, reflecting on this young man who had added new life to the walls of her house and brought joy back to her children's eyes.)
Misaki said as she approached them quietly:
"They admire you a lot, Ahmed-kun."
Ahmed looked at the children, and his eyes twinkled with an amusing idea. He raised his hand with a playful force and said to them in Japanese with a tone full of excitement and fun:
"Alright, little heroes! Since you have become my friends, I have a challenge for you today. Can you pronounce some letters from my Arabic language?"
Sounds of laughter and joy rose among the children, and they answered with great enthusiasm:
"Yes!"
The children sat on the floor in a small circle around Ahmed, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity, eager to learn something new from their Yemeni friend's culture. Ahmed began to explain some Arabic letters to them, pronouncing their names in a clear, slow voice so the children could easily repeat them.
The children repeated the letters slowly at first, then began to learn the correct pronunciation with each attempt, which brought about their laughter and happiness. Ahmed encouraged them with a warm smile, gently correcting their pronunciation, and praising every effort they made. The children found great fun in this challenge, as if they were embarking on a new linguistic adventure that strengthened their friendship and brought them closer.
Misaki looked at them with twinkling eyes, feeling an overwhelming happiness at seeing this beautiful moment that brought two different cultures together in an atmosphere of love and understanding.
Minutes passed with the children's voices getting louder with repetition and laughter, until Ahmed felt it was time to end the fun lesson with a smile:
"Well done, heroes! You now know a little of my language, and this is a beautiful beginning for a stronger friendship."
Everyone smiled, and they felt that these small moments would be a warm memory engraved in their hearts.
