[Abdullah and the Forest], [undated]
Note: Summary: Two young men finish their work in an orange orchard. One drives the oranges away in a truck, while Abdullah goes to the forest to smoke. He falls asleep and the cigarette falls out of his mouth, causing a fire. His family help him extinguish it, but his father chastises him. The following day, Abdullah goes to the city to study agriculture and learns how fertile soil was brought to the desert. He plants seedlings which grow into lush forests, vegetable crops, and pastures for livestock. Abdullah learns how to care for nature, and returns home with a deeper appreciation for the forest.
