A Tale Guiding Those Drowning in Debt

Merve loved her sister Elif very much. She found her own happiness in the happiness of Elif and their mother. One day, their mother fell ill, and Merve had to take on most of the household chores. Elif was going to school. Merve did all the housework early in the morning to be able to give Elif a warm welcome when she returned home. As days passed, and their mother’s recovery was delayed, Merve had to work even harder. Elif wanted to help her sister more each day, but often she was too tired from school to be of much assistance. Seeing Elif’s fatigue, Merve made this decision: Being siblings means not only having fun but also struggling together through difficulties. One day, before going to school, Elif prepared a surprise for Merve. She said there would be hot soup and dessert waiting at home in the evening. Merve was very touched by Elif’s kindness. That evening, filled with beauty, further strengthened the love between the sisters. As their mother began to recover, Merve saw that Elif was thinking of her and realized that she too had a heart full of compassion. This strengthened the bond between the two sisters.
