About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Goose Who Said Sorry. When a young gosling named Goose loses his temper and knocks over something he and his best friend built together, his first instinct is to blame everyone but himself. But as the pond grows quiet and his friend grows sad, Goose begins to feel a different kind of heaviness — the kind that only saying sorry can lift. By the end, Goose learns that a real apology isn't just words mumbled quickly to make trouble go away, but something spoken gently, honestly, and from the heart, the way the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us to make things right with one another.
