About This Story

Tonight's story is called The Grasshopper Learns Patience. In the golden grasses of Summer Meadow lives a small, springy grasshopper named Zumi, who cannot wait for anything — not snack time, not nap time, and especially not for the Great Sunflower to bloom. When Zumi decides to hurry the sunflower along himself, he learns that some things cannot be rushed, no matter how hard he hops or how loudly he buzzes. With the gentle guidance of Grandmother Cricket and a quiet reminder to trust Allah اللّٰه's timing, Zumi discovers that waiting well is not empty time at all — it is its own quiet kind of patience and faith. By the end, when the sunflower opens at last, Zumi understands that the best things in life bloom exactly when they are meant to.
