Glare of the Desert Sun

In the enchanting and tranquil village of Saibah, nestled beneath the grandiose peaks of the Hejaz-Mountains, lived a modest merchant named Sami. Revered for his unparalleled wisdom and altruistic characteristics, Sami commanded immense admiration and respect from his kinsmen.
One day, a bedraggled stranger, clothed in rags and speckled due to laborious strolls on the desert terrains, visited the village. He staggered under the heat of the sun, stumbling over himself in exhaustion. He hailed Asim, a neighbour and compatriot of Sami, pleading for water. Asim, perceiving the stranger's destitution, had a spark of greed flicker in his eyes and announced a ludicrously exorbitant price for a pitcher of water. With despair in his heart and sweat trickling down his forehead, the stranger had no choice but to agree.
Sami, witnessing the event from the fringes, felt a surge of disapproval towards Asim's greed and immediately summoned the stranger to his store. He bestowed upon him a jug of cool water and a meal, refusing any form of compensation. The stranger was grateful, his admiration for Sami growing exponentially in the brief exchange they had.
Just as he was leaving, the ragged stranger revealed himself to be a desert genie named Zakir, a powerful entity capable of changing fates with a snap of his fingers. Touched by Sami's kindness, Zakir offered to grant him a single wish. Overwhelmed by this sudden revelation, Sami stood frozen for a moment before finally making his wish. He desired for a water spring in the village that anyone could have access to, free of any charge.
Zakir, promoting such beneficence, granted Sami the wish. With a wave of his hand, he transformed a barren patch of land into a bubbling water spring. The people rejoiced at the sight, their joy reverberating through the desert landscape. Sami's altruism became the legend of Saibah.
Asim, regretful and jealous of Sami's stature, approached Zakir to bargain for a similar wish, willing to pay any price. Zakir merely replied, 'Sami didn't buy the spring water. He earned it with his kindness.' Asim left, his greed unfulfilled, while Sami's store overflowed with customers, appreciative of his virtue.
The desolate village of Saibah thrived, and its prosperity was attributed to Sami, transforming him into a symbol of charity and goodwill. Sami, however, remained humble, remembering that it was not riches or greed, but compassion, that brought the ultimate achievement - the love and respect of his people.
Thus, concluded the remarkable tale of the humble merchant and the desert genie, reminding every listener of the powerful force that is selfless kindness. The story reverberated through the Hejaz-Mountains, carried by the desert breeze, and shall be remembered as long as the sun continues to blaze over the desert sands.
