    In a small and remote village, there lived a kind-hearted boy named Yusuf. He was poor and his clothes were old and patched.

    Yusuf was orphaned from his mother and lived with his elderly grandfather. The children at school would mock him and refuse to play with him due to his worn-out clothes and humble condition.

    Despite this, Yusuf was exceptionally bright and loved learning. He always scored the highest grades in his class, which made his teacher very proud of him.

    His teacher constantly encouraged him and praised him in front of his classmates. This slowly changed their perception of him.
