The old man had a beautiful carpet spread out before him, and he was telling stories of faraway lands and magical adventures. Muhammad was intrigued and approached the man cautiously. "My dear sir," he asked, "what wonders does your carpet hold?"
The old man smiled and looked at Muhammad with twinkling eyes. "This is no ordinary carpet, young man. It is a magical carpet that can take you anywhere in the world, and even beyond our wildest dreams." Muhammad was amazed and longed to experience the magic of the carpet firsthand.
"Would you be so kind as to let me take a ride on your carpet?" Muhammad asked eagerly. "I promise to return it safely and promptly." The old man hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Very well," he said. "But be careful, for the carpet has a mind of its own. Treat it with respect, and it will take you where you desire." Muhammad thanked the old man and stepped onto the carpet, his heart pounding with anticipation.
As soon as he sat down, the carpet began to lift gently into the air. Muhammad felt a surge of exhilaration as he soared above the rooftops and watched the world below shrink away. The wind whispered secrets in his ears, and the sun kissed his face as he flew high above the clouds.
But as the day turned into night, Muhammad began to grow tired. He longed for the comfort of his home and the familiarity of his surroundings. With a heavy heart, he asked the carpet to return him to the marketplace.
The carpet descended slowly, landing gently in the same spot where Muhammad had first boarded it. He thanked the old man for sharing the magic of his carpet, then turned and walked away, his mind filled with wonder and gratitude.
From that day forward, Muhammad never forgot his magical carpet ride. It taught him that the world is vast and full of amazing wonders, and that even the most ordinary objects can hold extraordinary secrets. And so, whenever he felt overwhelmed or discouraged, Muhammad would close his eyes and remember the freedom and joy he had experienced on that magical carpet ride. It always reminded him that anything is possible if he believed in himself and never stopped dreaming.
