Scene 1 Sophie, the happy squirrel, loved jumping from branch to branch. She also loved making others smile and feel happy. Scene 2 One morning, Sophie saw her friend Finn, a gentle fox, sitting by himself near a tree. He seemed sad. Sophie skipped over and asked, “Hey Finn, you look sad. What’s wrong?” Finn sighed. “I sometimes feel like I don’t belong in the forest. Everyone’s busy, and I feel left out.” Scene 3 Sophie’s heart warmed. She didn’t want Finn to feel alone. “Don’t worry! We’ll spend the day together. You don’t need to fit in anywhere because you’re perfect just as you are!” Finn’s ears perked up. “Really?” “Of course! Let’s have fun exploring the forest!” Sophie said. Scene 4 The two friends explored the forest. Sophie bounced from branch to branch, and Finn trotted along, wagging his tail. They played, raced, and laughed together. Scene 5 They came to a glade with colorful flowers and a stream. Sophie twirled in the meadow and said, “See? The forest is beautiful, and you belong here, Finn.” Finn smiled. “You’re right, Sophie. I feel better now.” Scene 6 As the sun set, they sat on a rock, watching the stars. “This was the best day,” Finn said. “Thank you, Sophie. You made me so much happier.” Sophie smiled. “That’s what friends are for. I’m always here for you.” Scene 7 From then on, Sophie and Finn spent every day together in the forest, exploring, laughing, and enjoying each other’s company. They knew that as long as they had each other, the forest would always feel like home.

Last year, I went to Hokkaido in Japan. It was really fun there! In Sapporo, there were tall buildings and old houses. I went to a big park. There were a lot of pretty flowers in it. Later, I went to see the sea and the mountains. I saw many lovely little animals. I also ate delicious seafood. It tasted really great. Hokkaido is so interesting. I want to go there again in the future!

Pada suatu hari di Kampung Al-Furqan, tinggallah seorang budak lelaki bernama MaLi. Dia seorang yang sangat suka belajar tentang Al-Quran. Pada suatu pagi, ketika MaLi sedang belajar di tepi sungai, tiba-tiba seekor burung cantik hinggap di atas sebatang pokok berhampirannya. Burung itu berwarna biru dengan paruh emas yang berkilauan. Burung Qari terbang rendah lalu mendarat di hadapan MaLi. "Mad Asli adalah salah satu cara kita membaca huruf yang mempunyai tanda mad. Huruf-huruf yang boleh jadi mad ialah Alif, Wau, dan Ya. Huruf-huruf ini perlu dipanjangkan sebanyak dua harakat," jelas Burung Qari. MaLi mengangguk, tetapi masih keliru. "Boleh kamu beri contoh, Burung Qari?" "Tentu!" jawab Burung Qari sambil menyanyi dengan suara merdunya, "Dengar ya: '**Qoo-la**.' Dalam perkataan ini, ada Alif selepas huruf Qof, dan kita perlu panjangkan bacaan itu. Begitu juga dengan 'Fee,' di mana Ya menjadi mad." MaLi mula tersenyum. "Oh! Jadi, apabila ada Alif, Wau, atau Ya yang tak ada tanda baris, itulah Mad Asli? Kita kena panjangkan dua harakat?" "Betul sekali, MaLi!" jawab Burung Qari. "Ingatlah, mad ini mudah saja. Kalau ada Alif selepas huruf yang baris atas, Wau selepas huruf yang baris depan, atau Ya selepas huruf yang baris bawah, kita panjangkan dua harakat." MaLi berasa lega. Dia kini lebih yakin untuk membaca Al-Quran dengan betul. "Terima kasih, Burung Qari! Saya akan amalkan apa yang kamu ajarkan!" Burung Qari tersenyum sambil terbang ke udara. "Sama-sama, MaLi! Ingat, ilmu tajwid sangat penting untuk memperelokkan bacaanmu. Teruskan belajar dan jangan berputus asa!" Sejak hari itu, MaLi terus rajin membaca Al-Quran dan memahami tajwid dengan lebih baik. Setiap kali dia berdepan dengan Mad Asli, dia teringat kata-kata Burung Qari dan mengamalkan ilmunya dengan penuh yakin. TAMAT
