In those brief moments, Youssef felt that life, despite its hardship, was still beautiful — as long as there were people who greeted him with kindness. 🌤
One day, two tourists from a faraway city stopped by. They bought some vegetables, took a photo with Youssef and his mother, and later posted it online with the caption:
“We’re simple farmers — even a small hello means everything to us.”
From that day on, the road was never the same. More people began to stop — some to buy, others just to say:
“Hello, how are you today?”
And Youssef would always answer, looking up at the cloudy sky:
“We’re fine, thank God… the earth is happy today.” 🌾
