My dad, my hero

This is regarding the story “My dad, my hero” by Rabia Hamid (YW, June 15). Just like mothers, fathers also make countless sacrifices for their children’s comfort and happiness. They care, protect and work hard to provide for us and shower us with love and support.

My father is my hero, because, despite several problems in his life, he always takes care of my wishes. We should show our appreciation for our fathers, not just on Father’s Day, but every day.

The story “My dad, my hero” by Rabia Hamid was nicely written. One of the aspects that I really liked was when the writer changed the typical narrative to something more encouraging and less discussed: remembering orphans on such occasions.

We should give charity and gifts to orphanages to bring smiles to their faces because they don’t have parents, so we should always remember them on such occasions.

The story “My dad, my hero” by Rabia Hamid was very emotional and heart-warming. It reminded me of the quote, “Dads teach us lots of things, but the real lesson is always Dad.”

The story beautifully portrayed the love between a father and his children. The siblings in the story arranged a special day for their father and also shared their happiness with children in an orphanage, who don’t have a father figure in their lives.

The disobedient goat

This is with reference to the story “The disobedient goat” by Afshan Iqbal (YW, June 15). The story illustrates the consequences of disobedience. The once free-roaming goat finds itself confined to a small room, forced to perform tricks for its new master.

The goat’s embarrassment at its escape attempt serves as a warning sign. The story conveys a message about the importance of obedience and loyalty to those who care for us.

A cow named Mano

This is regarding the story “A cow named Mano” by Hafsa M. Faisal (YW, June 15). The story highlighted the significance of Eidul Azha.

Despite financial challenges, the family in the story managed to fulfil their religious duty. This tale conveyed a valuable lesson about standing by one’s family during difficult times and the importance of mutual support.
