However, their voyage is tragically interrupted by a severe storm, resulting in a shipwreck. Fatima, the sole survivor, is washed ashore near Alexandria, left destitute and with fragmented memories of her past life due to the traumatic experience. Fortunately, a compassionate family of cloth-makers discovers her and takes her into their humble home, teaching her their trade. Within a couple of years, Fatima has rebuilt her life, finding happiness and acceptance in her new circumstances, skillfully adopting the craft of cloth-making as her livelihood and a new beginning. This narrative highlights themes of resilience, the unexpected turns of fate, and the ability to find peace and purpose even after profound loss and adversity. The story illustrates how new skills and supportive communities can lead to a fulfilling second chapter in life, transforming hardship into an opportunity for growth and contentment.","Fatima the Spinner and the Tent  \nIdries Shah  \nNatasha Delmar  \nOnce in a city in the Farthest West there lived a girl called Fatima. She was the daughter of a prosperous spinner, who taught her to spin.  \nOne day her father said to her,”Come daughter, we are going on a journey, for I have business in the islands of the Middle Sea. Perhaps you may find some handsome youth in a good situation whom you could take as husband.”  \nThey set off and traveled from island to island, the father doing his trading  \nwhile Fatima dreamt of the husband who might soon be hers.  \nOne day, however, they were on the way to Crete when a storm blew up, and the ship was wrecked.  \nFatima, only half conscious, was cast up on the seashore near Alexandria. Her Father was dead, and she was utterly destitute.  \nShe could only remember dimly her life until then, for her experience of the shipwreck, and her exposure in the sea had utterly exhausted her.  \nWhile she was wandering on the sands, a family of cloth-makers found her.  \nAlthough they were poor, they took her into their humble home and taught her their craft.  \nThus it was that she made a second life for herself, and within a year or two she was happy and reconciled to her lot.","cbCaiqFScH0skqi7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqFScH0skqi7","pdf",6515572,4,35,"English","en",105,"# Fatima the Spinner and the Tent","[{\"question\":\"What happened to Fatima during her journey?\",\"answer\":\"Fatima was on a journey with her father when a storm caused their ship to wreck, leaving her stranded near Alexandria.\"},{\"question\":\"Who helped Fatima after the shipwreck?\",\"answer\":\"A family of poor cloth-makers found Fatima on the seashore and took her in, teaching her their craft.\"},{\"question\":\"What was Fatima's new life like?\",\"answer\":\"Fatima learned the craft of cloth-making and within a year or two, she became happy and content with her new life.\"}]",1783567591,54,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"fatima-the-spinner-and-the-tent","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,50],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/fatima-the-spinner-and-the-tent/48135/",{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-22","2026-07-09",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What happened to Fatima during her journey?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Fatima was on a journey with her father when a storm caused their ship to wreck, leaving her stranded near Alexandria.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"Who helped Fatima after the shipwreck?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"A family of poor cloth-makers found Fatima on the seashore and took her in, teaching her their craft.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What was Fatima's new life like?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"Fatima learned the craft of cloth-making and within a year or two, she became happy and content with her new life.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
