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, with their mother’s recovery delayed, Merve had to work even harder. Elif wanted to help her sister more each day, but often returned home tired from school, so she couldn't do much. Seeing Elif’s fatigue, Merve made the following decision: Being sisters 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 warm soup and dessert at home when she returned 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 also had a heart full of compassion just like her. This strengthened the bond between the two sisters.
