In a small village across the city of Amman, there was a little boy called Zeid.
Zeid was 7 years old. He was born into a very poor family with few resources.
As an only child, Zeid suffered a lot after he lost his parents. He had no home, no money, and most importantly, no family.

2
With no shelter, Zeid roamed around his small town searching for food.
While he was walking, he fell down and scratched his knee. He sat there under the rain and started crying.
A few minutes later, a little puppy came along and helped him stand up by pulling on his t-shirt and guiding him into a roofed tunnel.

3
Zeid felt so thankful to this dog and decided to call him Armani.
That night, Zeid did not feel lonely anymore because Armani slept right next to him.

4
As soon as the sun rose, Zeid felt his little tummy groan. He hasn't eaten in days.
Both Zeid and Armani got up and begun their search for food. Feeling a sense of responsibility, Zeid promised himself to better his life now since he was no longer completely alone.

5
They saw a food fair right across the main road in the village. They walked over there. As soon as the smell of the fresh bread hit him, Zeid almost began to feel better.
Armani looked at Zeid and kind of gave him a small smile or look of assurance.

6
An elderly man who owned a food truck noticed Zeid and Armani. He felt bad for them so he motioned to them so they could come closer. He offered Zeid a ham and cheese sandwich with a small pack of fresh orange juice.
Zeid thanked him and said, "God bless you."


7
The old man noticed how polite this young kid was so he told Zeid that he is welcome to come by whenever he felt very hungry.
Zeid thanked him again and walked towards the park to enjoy his first meal in days.

8
As soon as he took the first bite, Armani gave out a little moan. Zeid felt in conflict. He didn't know if he should eat the whole sandwich and satisfy his hunger or split it in half in order to feed Armani and keep his small friend happy.
He decided to give Armani some of his sandwich. Armani felt so happy, he ate it and gave Zeid a thankful bark after he was done.


9
After enjoying their meal, Zeid found a lost frisbee on the floor and started playing with Armani.
Both of them were filled with so much happiness and joy. They had a good day.

10
Zeid noticed a beautiful girl, around his same age, looking at him while he was playing. She had long blonde hair and sky blue eyes.
He really wanted to go talk to her. Instead, he decided to ask her to play with them. She introduced herself as Kylie Jenner. Zeid immediately fell in love with her.

11
As they were playing, Zeid noticed that many people were gathering themselves around them. It seems that this crowd found them very entertaining.
Kylie was doing cartwheels before throwing the frisbee, and Zeid was jumping up high and doing front flips before catching it.

12
Meanwhile, Armani was running around them by creating a spectacular kind of show. They were such a wonderful team. People were clapping and screaming many words of motivation to them.
Zeid and Kylie were shocked. They loved the attention and began performing better and better.

13
They decided to meet up everyday at noon in the park to practice for their upcoming street shows.
Day after day, they were turning into very skillful street artists. They were attracting a huge crowd and many people were donating money bills for their performances.

14
Zeid and Kylie decided to split all their earnings in half so they could avoid any future problems.
They continued to work as partners and their friendship grew into what seems like a wonderful love story.
They spent most of their time
together improving themselves and
simply having fun with each other.
