PagineNew clothes, the Durbar and sharing at Sallah. A free Pagine Original early-reader story.
Ramadan is over. Tomorrow is Sallah! Amina can hardly sleep.
In the morning she wears her new clothes, and Grandpa wears his best cap.
The family walks to the Eid prayer together.
Then — drums! Horses in bright colours ride past in the Durbar. Amina claps and cheers.
At home there is rice, meat and sweet drinks for everyone.
Grandpa gives food to the neighbours. “Sallah is for sharing,” he says.
Amina shares her sweets with her little brother. He grins.
“Barka da Sallah!” everyone calls. Happy Sallah!
