AHMET’S DREAM

Ahmet was very poor when he was a small child. He and his family used to live in a small town. Their house had only one room. They used to eat, sleep and live in the same room. His father was very ill. Ahmet used to work after school. By the help of one of their neighbours Ahmet found a job in a restaurant. He used to wash the dishes. He used to dream a lot. He always wanted to be the owner of a restaurant. He learnt how to cook observing his uncle. He became a very good cook.
One day he opened his restaurant in the city centre. Sometimes poor people used to come and eat everything they wanted.
Ahmet used to have a strange habit during the courses of the day. He set a table and put two plates on the table. Nobody came and sat on that table but Ahmet always did the same thing.
Nobody heard the words in Ahmet’s mouth, either. “Mummy and Daddy you won’t be hungry anymore. Have your meals with joy”
