Once upon a time, in a small school, there was a teacher named Ali. He was loved by all the students because he was kind, patient, and always ready to help. But more than that, Mr. Ali treated every student like a friend.

One day, a new student named Ahmed joined the class. Ahmed was very shy and nervous. He found it difficult to make friends, and he was scared of talking to anyone. The other students didn’t pay much attention to him, which made Ahmed feel even more lonely. Ali noticed that Ahmed was always sitting alone during lunch and never raised his hand in class. Instead of forcing Ahmed to speak or join others, Ali decided to become Ahmed's friend first. Every day, he would ask Ahmed how he was doing, and he would listen carefully to what Ahmed had to say, no matter how small it was.
Slowly, Ahmed started to feel more comfortable. Ali would often sit with him during lunch, telling funny stories and encouraging Ahmed to share his thoughts. Soon, Ahmed began to smile more, and his confidence grew. Ali also helped Ahmed with his studies, making sure he understood everything. Seeing Ali’s kindness, other students began to befriend Ahmed too. They realized that just like Ali, they could be kind and supportive. Eventually, Ahmed became one of the happiest students in the class, surrounded by friends.
The students learned an important lesson from Ali: A teacher is not just someone who teaches subjects; a teacher can also be a true friend who guides you, supports you, and makes you feel valued. They understood that when teachers care for their students, it’s because they want to see them succeed not just in school, but in life.
