Feriha is a congratulatory owl
Tahani bint Rumouh Haraibi al-Ghajar, a digger of graves in the central desert oasis, was able to train a newborn owl that she had embraced since hatching and to destroy the wall of eggs during the absence of her mother, who went out with a male owl stranger to the oasis and has not returned to this day.
Tahani fills her mouth with food and drink and enters the cave of the mother owl, which is adjacent to the tomb of Hunaina, the sheikh of the sheikhs of the Romitah Oasis. She opens her little beak to send breakfast, lunch and dinner from her mouth until the little one manages to move her wings in preparation for flight.
Tahani calls her owl the name Freiha, for spreading an atmosphere of joy around her while feeding her, teaching her to fly, and then training her to hunt everything that is expensive from the nearby hills and cities at night.
Rumoh Hraibi leaves his daughter Tahani for days and nights in search of the graves of the oasis and the urban cities, digging them up to strip the dead of their shrouds and sell them in the old markets.
Tahani releases her owl at night, going to the hills and the urban population to hunt rabbits, chickens, and newly born offspring of goats and ewes instead of the yellow desert rats that Tahani does not eat, so she rewards them by settling some of the catch until Fareeha becomes addicted to the taste of the ripe and grilled, and gives up blood, live meat or dead carrion.
Freiha returned from her last hunting trip with the corpse of an elderly man nearing seventy, so he lost weight in her mouth and the face of the tomb of Hanina, the sheikh of the Romitah tribes, cushioned him. When Tahani approached the slender body, she let out screams that shook the corners of the graves.
Feriha shared her grief with her friend, who really squawked, and kept flapping her wings until she fell from exhaustion and began digging up Hanina's grave. Then it was Tahani's turn to expand the hole in which she would bury her father's Harabi souls. Congratulations.

Dahlab victory committees

Dahlab victory committees
The many committees of Fouz Dahlab Aqd branch out and branch out to accommodate hundreds of thousands of workers from the base of the hierarchy to its top. The reins of affairs are gathered in the hands of twenty first agents of the committees, headed by the first deputy of the Air Committee and the first deputy of the Water Committee.
And the reins of affairs end up with the victory of Dahlab Al-Aqd to decide what he thinks is right.
The day before yesterday, a very special committee was formed to distribute the air pipes in the area from which the air fled to the neighboring spot due to the severe crowding and the increase in population density, which reached the peak, so people fought over the remaining limited quantities of air that were unable to escape.
The First Undersecretary of the Air Committee went out yesterday evening to address the masses in the spacious hall, and he chose ten thousand members of the audience and gave them the sign to enter to work in the factory for manufacturing air ducts, and the spark was released to produce hundreds of millions of tubes, and His Excellency opened a hundred factories to fill the tubes, and formed A committee to deliver it to the inhabitants of the three deserts instead of gatherings that will lead to disaster
The gathered tongues dangled until the sand touched the bottom of the sand hills, embracing it from the intensity of thirst, so the first deputy of the Water Committee came out and pushed his men to remove the covers of the salt water wells that were recently desalinated after the desert stomachs dried up and the wells hidden under the sand hills, even the twenty wells owned by Fouz Dahlab Aqood. And the adults are at the eyes of the desalinated wells, so that each of them takes from the well official a dose of water emptied of salt, and the tongues are still the length of the bodies sticking to the sand pebbles from the intensity of thirst.
The food committees closed their doors after handing over the last of their stores of bread to the rows extending in front of them along the length and breadth of the deserts, and the oasis gardens went on strike from germination due to the lack of cohesion of their soil due to the devastating earthquakes of last summer that led to the loosening of its fabric, the rise of rocky layers to the surface, and the disappearance of the soft layers that cover the last layer. Sandy.. Hands closed on what was left of the leftover bread, and they headed to the Clothing Committee, whose doors were closed after it was devoid of fabric, so the machines stopped
The First Undersecretary of the Birth Committee decided to criminalize pregnancy and issued a law to imprison pregnant women in order to get rid of the fetuses before they were formed. The Deaths Committee expanded in establishing new cemeteries in order to accommodate new visitors due to the spread of the epidemic that befell the deserts with the disappearance of the Health Committee and all other committees that gradually faded away with everyone, and still won. The backyard monitors the situation from afar with its various committees.
