Adrian
and Samy: A Story of Friendship and Courage
In a quiet neighborhood where
laughter echoed between dusty walls, in Gaza, a boy named Samy found joy in the
simplest of things—especially in the wagging tail of a stray dog named Adrian.
Adrian wasn’t just any dog. He had golden fur that shimmered in the sun and eyes
that seemed to understand everything Samy felt.
Every afternoon, Samy and Adrian
played in the street. They chased shadows, shared crusts of bread, and invented
games only they understood. Adrian would bark with delight, and Samy would
laugh until his cheeks hurt. They were more than friends—they were family.
But one day, the sky turned dark
with smoke. The ground trembled. Samy’s home was shattered by violence he
couldn’t understand. His father and mother, who once tucked him in with bedtime
stories, were gone by drones of enemies called “Isreal”
Samy wandered through the rubble,
his heart heavy and his eyes full of tears. He sat alone on a broken step,
clutching a piece of his mother’s scarf. That’s when Adrian appeared, tail low,
eyes gentle. Samy didn’t speak. He just wrapped his arms around Adrian and
cried.
Adrian didn’t move. He stayed beside
Samy all night, warm and silent. In that moment, Samy knew he wasn’t truly
alone. The world had taken much—but it hadn’t taken Adrian.
And so, the boy and the dog walked
forward together. Through grief. Through silence. Through the ashes of
yesterday, they built a new kind of home—one made of loyalty, love, and the
kind of courage only true friendship can give.
