About This Story
Tonight's story is called Ruqqayyah and the Silver Bell. When a little accident happens in her grandmother's courtyard, Ruqqayyah finds herself facing a choice she's never had to make so clearly before — tell the truth and risk being in trouble, or say something that isn't quite true and slip away unnoticed. As she wanders past the old Silver Bell that watches over the village, she learns that honesty isn't about never making mistakes — it's about what she does after. By the end, Ruqqayyah discovers that the truth, even when her voice shakes saying it, is the thing that lets her heart finally rest.
