“ How could you take these jet ski’ s!” Baba shouted.
“ Do you know what could have happened to you!? Must you always be troublemakers?” Mama cried.
“ No.” The maid spoke up,“ They are heroes. It is my fault the boys ran off. They saved Omar and Mohamed when I could not help.”
Everyone quieted. Mama looked shocked, and
Baba looked proud. Finally, the father of the two boys spoke.
“ My sons are the troublemakers. Nonetheless, they are the light of my eyes. And, I suppose if you two hadn’ t been troublemakers as well, you wouldn’ t have been able to save my sons. So, I would like to invite you all to lunch as a way to thank you.”
Smiling, he took both Farah and Fares’ hands and led them off to a lovely lunch.
