Sanad traced his finger along the colorful illustrations, his expression a mix of wonder and determination. The sounds of birds chirping outside provided a soothing backdrop as he attempted to decipher the letters before him. "A... is for apple," Sanad murmured, his voice filled with both hesitation and excitement.

"You're doing great, Sanad," Amina encouraged, kneeling beside him. "Thanks, Amina. It's a bit tricky," Sanad admitted, glancing up at her. "Remember, every story begins with a single letter. Just like a journey," she reminded him warmly.

Sanad picked up a new book, its cover illustrated with vibrant hues. "What's this one about?" he asked eagerly. "It's about a little boy who learns to fly," Amina replied, her voice filled with intrigue. "Just like me learning to read," Sanad remarked, a newfound confidence gleaming in his eyes.

Sanad stumbled over a tricky word, but with Amina's gentle guidance, he slowly pieced it together. "See? You did it!" she exclaimed. "It's like unlocking a secret world," Sanad replied, his face aglow with triumph.

Sanad closed his book, gazing thoughtfully at the cover. "I think I like reading," he said, his voice filled with satisfaction. "Reading is like an adventure," Amina agreed, wrapping an arm around him. "And I can't wait for the next one," Sanad added, smiling brightly.

Sanad tucked the book under his arm, ready to continue his journey tomorrow. As Amina extinguished the lamp, Sanad looked back at the cozy corner of learning. "Goodnight, adventures," he whispered, knowing that each new day would bring more stories and discoveries.
