“Where's my cup?”
I looked here… and there.
“There it is! My blue cup!”
Dad held the jug.
He tipped it slowly.
A little trickle…
Water in my cup!
A drop on the table!
“Here, Dad!”
I pointed.
Dad brought a cloth.
We wiped the drop together.
“Where did it go?”
“Bismillah.”
Dad helped me.
One little sip…
Ahh!
“Alhamdulillah.”
I put the cup back.
“Here's my cup!”
