Once upon a time, in a sunny little village ☀️, there was a child named Firas 👦. Curious, joyful, and dreamy, he spent his days running through the fields 🌾, inventing stories, and laughing with the butterflies 🦋.
One morning, his mother gave him a bright red balloon 🎈, round like the setting sun 🌅. Firas immediately grew attached to it: he took it everywhere — to school 📚, to the garden 🌳, even when he went to bed 🌙.
But one day, while playing near the hill, a gust of wind 💨 stronger than usual snatched the balloon from his hands.
— “No! Come back!” cried Firas, tears in his eyes 😢.
The red balloon rose gently into the sky 🌤️. And although it drifted away, it kept in its heart the memory of the little boy who loved it.
The Balloon’s Journey 🎈✨
The balloon let itself be carried by the winds. On its way, it met a flock of colorful birds 🐦 singing as they flew.
— “Little balloon, where are you going?” they asked, circling around him.
— “I’m looking for my friend Firas. He stayed below, but I always carry him in my heart ❤️.”
The birds greeted him and flew away, promising to send his hello back to the earth 🌍.
A little further on, he crossed paths with a huge silver airplane ✈️.
— “Hey you! You’re not made to fly this high,” said the airplane in its deep voice.
— “Maybe… replied the balloon. But I fly thanks to Firas’ love. And that is stronger than any engine.”
The airplane, impressed, let him continue his journey.
The Balloon and the Moon 🌙✨
When night fell 🌌, the balloon reached the sparkling stars ✨. There, he met the moon 🌙, gentle and kind.
— “Little balloon, why are you so far from your child?” she asked tenderly.
— “Because the wind carried me away… But I am not afraid. As long as I think of Firas, I am never truly alone ❤️.”
The moon smiled and said:
— “Then, I will give you a place among my stars. That way, your friend will always find you whenever he looks up at the sky.”
The Secret of the Sky 🔴🌌
On earth, Firas kept watching the sky every evening 🌠. He searched for his balloon with hope. One night, he saw a little red star 🔴 shining brighter than the others. His heart leapt:
— “It’s you… My red balloon!” he exclaimed with a big smile 😊.
And from that day on, whenever Firas felt lonely, he lifted his head to the sky and found the glow of his balloon-star ✨.
For he had understood a great truth:
The love we give never disappears — it always shines somewhere, like a light in the night. 🌙❤️🎈
