the blessing
From Republic Street, first Faisal
Between Sharif and Saudi Al-Sanadili Streets
Corona time, fireworks and firecrackers
and drugs
the blessing
Eyes explode in the hearts of the paths.. Young children strip of their clothes in order to swim to cross from the right side to the left, with a width of three meters and a depth of one and a half meters.
Each child carries his clothes with his left hand and raises them in the air, and hits the face of the water with his right and feet, then he rushes forward, each according to his strength.
The young scribes return, carrying their colored cloth portfolios filled with books and pamphlets, to crowd them with inner and outer clothes and shoes. They push them away from the surface of the water and continue swimming until each of them reaches the sandy gravel stairs that are not covered by water. Hankoura until the eyes of the paths swallow their water.
The women and girls of the camps, because they do not know the art of swimming, think a lot about using rafts made of camel skins to help them move to and from the markets so that the men do not get tired of their constant struggle in the swimming competition four or five times a day back and forth from work and penetration into the markets to meet the demands.
The elders hurried to the tents of the elderly and retired to the children and grandchildren with whom communication was cut off, because the water permeated all the arteries and veins of the regions, and the small boats were unable to cover the great distance between the area and the tents of the elderly.
Drinking water and leftover water overlapped so that the residents drank running water, and fishing enthusiasts sat catching their small fish.
Two elderly sheikhs passed by the long path, and their feet slipped into the middle of the pond, only to be swallowed up by one of the holes that the excavation workers did not fill.
The attempts of the people of the Hankoura oasis did not succeed in recovering the bodies of Sheikh Owais Al-Zagbawi Al-Mawardi and his wife, Zahia Awain.
The sons of Sheikh Owais assigned a lawyer to file a case for their father and another for their mother against the concerned authorities, and Shahat joined them, demanding compensation for his two young children.
The total number of cases filed against the concerned departments amounted to twenty-four cases, so the departments formed a defense body and allocated five lawyers to respond to the litigants in each case until the one hundred and twenty lawyers were able to win the cases.
The feet of Shahat and the sons of Sheikh Owais searched for the other four pits and slipped into their heart, to be covered by the water flowing from the spring of drinking water and the stream of waste water, and the pond water obliterated all their features. .
