About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Robin's Song of Gratitude. When a little robin named Robin wakes up feeling plain and unimpressive next to the meadow's brighter, louder birds, she almost forgets the small gift her mother tucked into her nest — a single brown sunflower seed. Robin spends the morning chasing the songs and feathers of others, wishing she had been given something more. But by the end of the day, she discovers that the humble little seed was never plain at all — and that being thankful for what Allah اللّٰه has given you is worth more than anything you could wish for instead. By the time the stars come out over the Morning Meadow, Robin has learned to sing her own song, gratefully.
