Once upon a time, in a sunny desert village, there lived a young boy named Sami. Sami had cheerful brown eyes and loved to daydream about the skies.
One day, while exploring his grandfather's attic, he found a dusty, old carpet. It was woven with gold thread and had mysterious symbols.
When Sami sat on the carpet, it began to float! It rose gently and stopped in mid-air. Sami was amazed.
The carpet whisked Sami away on a breeze. Over the village they flew, soaring past birds and clouds.
Sami saw the vast desert from above. Golden sands stretched to where the earth kissed the sky.
Suddenly, they swooped down near an oasis, where an old woman was in trouble. She was stranded, with her cart stuck in the sand.
Without thinking, Sami landed the carpet and helped her. The woman thanked him with a warm smile.
She whispered a secret to Sami, 'The carpet will grant you three wishes since you have a kind heart.'
Sami wished for the village to have a well for fresh water. Suddenly, the air shimmered and a well appeared!
Next, Sami wished for a feast for all the villagers to enjoy together. Delicious food spread across tables in the town square.
For his last wish, Sami asked the carpet to always protect the village. The carpet glowed and nodded in agreement.
The villagers celebrated Sami's kindness and bravery. From then on, the magical carpet was the village's guardian.
