Publius El Hani: The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Publius El Hani who couldn't sleep. He would toss and turn all night long, and no matter what he did, he couldn't seem to drift off to sleep.

One night, Publius's mother came into his room and asked him why he couldn't sleep. Publius told her that he didn't know, but he was just so tired.

Publius's mother sat down next to him and put her arm around him. "Sometimes, when we can't sleep, it's because we're worried about something," she said.

Publius thought about this for a moment. "I guess I am a little worried," he said. "I'm worried about school. I'm not very good at math, and I'm afraid I'm going to fail.

Publius's mother smiled. "I know you're worried, but I promise you're going to be okay. You're a smart boy, and you're going to do just fine in school.

Publius's mother rubbed his back and sang him a soft song. Slowly, Publius began to relax. His eyelids grew heavy, and he finally drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Publius woke up feeling refreshed and ready to face the day. He went to school and did his best in math class. To his surprise, he did really well! Publius was so proud of himself, and he knew that he could do anything he set his mind to.

From that day on, Publius never had any trouble sleeping. He knew that he could always count on his mother to help him through tough times, and he knew that he was capable of anything he set his mind to.
