3- The High School Girl's Tale
Every day, the girl had to walk on a dark street twice, once while going to the center and again while returning home, as there was no other road available.
Some immoral people would sit on this street and harass the girl daily, both verbally and physically.
The girl became psychologically tired and considered reporting the harassment to the police. However, there was no evidence to convict these harassers, as the street was dark and there were no cameras or eyewitnesses.
This girl lives with her mother and little sister. Her father is deceased, and she does not have an older brother to protect her. So, how does the girl deal with this difficult situation?
The girl devised a clever trick to escape from this predicament. One day, as she walked to the center through the dark street as usual, the harassers followed behind her. At that moment, she was talking to her friend on the phone and said to her:
Do not be sad, my dear. God willing, your father will recover from the illness and return better than before. I will speak to my father; he is a police officer, and with his connections, he may help your father and admit him to the police hospital, where treatment will be free.
When the harassers heard this conversation, they felt fear and panic. They immediately moved away from the girl and ceased to harass her, fearing the potential reaction of her father, the police officer, if he discovered their actions. Moreover, they stopped harming any girl who passed by that street.
These human wolves were not afraid of heavenly punishment but feared earthly consequences!
