The story teaches us to be strong, courageous and confident when life gives us tough situations to face. We must never lose hope and most importantly, our confidence and enthusiasm should not wither. Ultimately, hardships end but what remains is our strong aptitude. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this masterpiece by Farhat Ishtiaq.
