This is a true story that happened in Egypt. The story tells of an old woman who called the Egyptian Food Bank and asked them to send a representative to take five blankets from her. This woman donated the blankets to people affected by the floods.
The representative went to this woman's address, passing through many streets, lanes, and random areas to reach her house. When he arrived, he found her living in a small room under the stairwell! The man was very surprised and thought to himself, "This woman is the one who needs donations!"
The old woman welcomed the representative, offered him a cup of tea, and said: "My son, drink this cup of tea from your Aunt Karma."
The man took the cup of tea and began to drink. Aunt Karma noticed the look of wonder and surprise on his face, so she said: "Don't be surprised, my son. I am poor, but there are many people poorer than me. My pension is 700 pounds a month. I bought five blankets for 500 pounds, and I have 200 pounds left until the end of the month."
The man refused to take the blankets and said: "My mother, I advise you to take back these blankets and buy yourself what you need. Your room needs a new bed and a lamp, and you also need a television to entertain you."
Aunt Karma replied: "I am not poor. When I open the window, the light enters my room, and at night, the bright streets illuminate my room. I feel very comfortable in my bed, so I will never change it. As for the television, I do not need it for anything. People always come to talk to me, so I never feel bored throughout my day. Take these blankets and give them to those who need them."
The man took the blankets and returned to the bank headquarters, where he told the employees the story of Aunt Karma, her pure heart, her innocent words, and her insistence on helping the poor and needy.
The bank employees decided to donate a monthly amount to her and provide her with a new house with a bigger bed, a refrigerator, and a television. However, the bank representative who visited her told them that she would refuse to take anything.
The employees brainstormed and came up with a clever plan. One of them called the old woman and told her he worked for a telephone company. He said: "Congratulations, Mrs. Karma, your number has won 10,000 pounds."
Aunt Karma was not surprised but said calmly: "Give this amount to the food bank and tell them to buy many blankets for people who suffer from the severe cold."
This is the story of a strong woman who isn't afraid of hunger, cold, poverty, disease, or death. A woman who loves and trusts God and lives under His protection.

The millionaire sat thinking of a way to escape from prison and said to the prison guard: "I will give you a million dollars if you get me out of jail."
The prison was under strict security, and it was impossible for any prisoner to escape from it, so the guard came up with a very strange idea. He told the millionaire that there was no way to escape from prison except to hide inside the coffins of the dead, as these coffins transported the prisoners who died across the river to land in preparation for their burial.
The man was afraid of the idea, but he had to agree because if he stayed in prison any longer, he would be executed. The man agreed that he would hide inside one of the coffins, and when he reached land and was buried, the prison guard would open the grave in just 30 minutes to take him out and receive a million dollars from him.
The next morning, at the time of the prisoners' break, the man crept into the room containing the coffins of the dead.
The man found one coffin and was very afraid of the idea of sleeping inside a coffin with a corpse, but his survival instinct made him implement this idea. He opened the coffin and lay on top of the corpse.
Time passed, and the guards came and moved the coffin to the ship. The man felt reassured when he smelled the sea, but he became worried when the coffin reached land, it was time to bury him alive!
The man was buried at a depth of 3 meters, and he remained in the coffin waiting for the guard to come to get him out.
More than 30 minutes passed, and the oxygen was almost gone, so the man took out the lighter from his pocket, lit it to see the clock, and found that 50 minutes had passed. The guard had not come yet.
The man felt terrified and panicked, and his heartbeat accelerated. Before turning off the lighter, he decided to see the face of the dead prisoner. The man turned and lit the lighter near the man's face.
He saw the last thing he expected in his life: he saw the face of the prison guard! And he was the only one who knew he was in the grave.

The story tells about an ambitious young man named Omar who graduated from the Faculty of Engineering and did not find a suitable job. Omar searched extensively for a good job opportunity, but he did not find one. Omar remained without a job for a long time, even though he submitted his CV to many companies.
One day, his close friend called him and told him that there was an electronics store that needed a sales representative. Omar hesitated a little because he was a computer engineer and was not proficient in the job of a sales representative. His hesitation increased further because the salary was not significant, but in the end, Omar accepted the job.
Omar called the owner of the electronics store and agreed to meet him at 3:00 pm on Saturday. Omar prepared for this interview well, wore an elegant black suit, and left his house at 2:30 pm.
Omar was walking quickly, and suddenly an old woman grabbed his hand and said to him: "Help me, son. I am a blind woman. I got lost in the street and could not find my way home."
Omar asked her about her home address and found that she lived in a place far from the electronics store, and there was only half an hour left until the interview. Omar thought for a while and then decided to obey his conscience and take the woman to the door of her house.
Omar escorted the woman to her house, and her daughter thanked him profusely. The blind woman prayed for Omar, saying: "My son, may God grant you success and help you achieve all that you wish."
Omar went to the electronics store at 4:00 pm and apologized to the store owner. The owner said to him: "The sales representative job is no longer available because the employee who came before you was hired as a sales representative. However, the store needs a highly qualified computer engineer. If you are ready, we will test you now and see if you are qualified for this job."
Omar could not believe what he heard and said to the owner of the store: "I am ready for the test." Indeed, Omar was tested with several assessments, passed them all, and was hired as a computer engineer in the store.

7- The Story of the Demon of Nepal
This tigress was nicknamed "the devil" because of her super intelligence in hunting humans. She constantly changed her hunting patterns so that no one could kill her. The Nepali Army intervened to kill her, but the tigress fled to India and continued hunting people there.
The tigress walked more than 32 kilometers every day, moving from village to city so that no one could guess her whereabouts. She terrified all the residents, and entire villages and cities hid in their homes for fear of her.
Hunters continued to chase the tigress until they were finally able to kill her in 1907. The people of the villages celebrated her death and were able to live their lives again.
After the tigress was killed, her body was autopsied. It was discovered that she had a gunshot wound in her teeth when she was young. This injury made her unable to hunt animals, so she decided to hunt humans to survive.
The tigress is not a devil because she hunted to eat; the real devil is the one who shot her when she was young, as this bullet indirectly caused the deaths of 436 people!

The king became angry, and in a moment of emotion, he ordered the noses of all the ministers to be cut off immediately! The head of the soldiers carried out the king's order, and all the ministers’ noses were cut off.
After some time, the ministers returned to their work. When the soldiers saw them, they mocked and laughed at them because of their severed noses. The soldiers complained to the king, and he ordered the noses of all the soldiers to be cut off. With this decision, the king, the ministers, and the soldiers were all noseless.
As time passed, the people began to mock the soldiers. The soldiers complained to the king, saying, "The people are mocking Your Majesty because you have no nose." The king then took the most dangerous decision in the history of the kingdom: he ordered all the noses of the people to be cut off. The king even issued a decree mandating that the noses of all newborns be cut off!
Hundreds of years passed. The king, the ministers, and the people died, and many generations followed in this kingdom where no human was seen with a nose. Everyone forgot the original story, and being noseless became the norm.

9- Night Story For Adults
Peter graduated from university, worked in a prestigious job, got engaged to Reem, and was trying to please her in every way, but she was always complaining and jealous because her best friend was working while she was not. As a result, she was treating Peter very harshly.
Peter tried to make her happy in every way, so he looked for a job for her. When he found a job close to her home, he went to her to share this good news.
Reem was very happy with the new job and went for a personal interview at the new company.
Reem was accepted, but her salary was only 1,000 pounds. She called her friend and asked about her salary. Her friend told her that she earned 2,000 pounds every month.
Peter met his fiancée at the end of the day, and she was sad and nervous because her friend earned twice her salary. Peter told her to work for one month, and if her salary did not increase, she could leave the job. Reem agreed to this solution and continued to work for a month in the hope that her salary would increase.
A week later, Peter went to the manager of the company where Reem worked and said to him, “Reem is very sad because of her low salary. I will give you 1,000 pounds every month, so please tell her that her salary has increased because of her distinguished work.”
The manager did what Peter asked and told Reem that her salary had become 2,000 pounds because of her good performance and commitment at work. Reem was very happy, and happiness returned between her and her fiancé.
Reem's psychological condition improved; she began to treat her fiancé well and stopped complaining. However, her demands became numerous. She often asked her fiancé to buy her gifts and take her out for dinner. Because of her many requests, Peter said to her:
“My dear, the company I work for has experienced a major financial crisis, and about half of the salary has been deducted for all employees. Now I earn only 1,500 pounds every month, so I apologize if I cannot fulfill some of your requests during this period.”
Reem was silent and thought for a while. Then she said to him, “Would you accept marrying a woman who earns a salary higher than yours? And when we get married, will I have to support you? I'm sorry, I cannot continue with you.” She took off the ring and returned it to him. Peter felt sad and heartbroken in a way he had never felt before. He could not reply and left her.
Peter returned home depressed and lived a long time in sadness and isolation. Despite what happened, he realized that Reem did not love him at all but loved the things he did for her.
Peter stopped going to work for some time. Meanwhile, Reem continued going to her job regularly. At the end of the month, Reem found that her salary was only 1,000 pounds again. She became very angry and went to the manager to complain. The manager said to her:
“Your salary did not increase. Your fiancé used to come every month and give me 1,000 pounds of his salary so I could give you a higher salary. He did that because he loved you and was trying to encourage you and make you happy without causing you any embarrassment. But I do not know why he did not come this month.”
Reem cried a lot and deeply regretted losing someone who loved her sincerely and gave his entire life to her. But she was selfish and did not give him anything in return.
