While others are unaware of his presence, he becomes gloomy, sad, and eventually cries about wishing he could be bigger and more noticeable like hippos, alligators, or fish. Tiny comforts Mini Num by reframing smallness as a unique strength and explains that different creatures depend on specific environments, while Mini Num can live anywhere, turning his sadness into hope.","Mini Num  \nAuthor: Al-Sayed Ibrahim Illustrator: Mostafa Al-Barshoom English  \nMini Num  \nWritten by El-Sayyed Ibraheem.

He drifted faraway in the current and he found himself quite alone.  \nNone of the animals ever knew he was there, so small he was like a particle in the air. How would they ever see him if he’s that small? They probably won’t notice him at all.  \nMini Num the bear never smiled. He was so gloomy and sad, two hundred year old Tiny asked him,“What’s wrong with you? Try to smile, Mini Num. Look at me! Look at how happy I am!”  \n“Come on, Mini Num. You’ve got to tell me why you ’ reso sad.” said Tiny. Mini Num said,“I am so, so, so small. No one can even see me at all! I wish I were as big as a hippo or as fierce as an alligator or as colorful as a fish, but look at me. I am so small. No one can see me at all.” Then Mini Num burst into tears.  \nTiny said,“Well, I’m sure all the animals you’ve mentioned have perhaps wished to be small and extraordinary like you. I know you don’t understand now, but when you grow up, you’ll see.” Mini Num said,“Is this true? If so, how?”  \nHippos can’t live without air, you see, and fish would die out of the water. Alligators can’t spend a single day in the desert, but look at you. You can live anywhere under any circumstances,” said Tiny.","cbCaitFYgFgcFUqQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitFYgFgcFUqQ","pdf",951887,2,23,"English","en",105,"# Mini Num hatches in the river\n## Feeling too small to be seen\n## Tiny encourages Mini Num\n## Learning strengths in difference","[{\"question\":\"Why does Mini Num feel sad at the beginning of the story?\",\"answer\":\"He believes he is so small that no one can see him, so he feels unseen and insignificant among the animals.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Tiny tell Mini Num to help him feel better?\",\"answer\":\"Tiny reassures Mini Num that other animals also have wishes and encourages him to trust that things will make sense when he grows up.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Tiny explain Mini Num’s smallness in a positive way?\",\"answer\":\"Tiny compares animals’ needs—hippos need air, fish need water, alligators need deserts—while Mini Num can live anywhere under any circumstances.\"}]",1784297204,35,{"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},"mini-num-bear-and-tiny-friendship","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,46,49],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/mini-num-bear-and-tiny-friendship/90825/",4,{"url":50,"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","2026-07-27","2026-07-17",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},"Why does Mini Num feel sad at the beginning of the story?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"He believes he is so small that no one can see him, so he feels unseen and insignificant among the animals.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What does Tiny tell Mini Num to help him feel better?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Tiny reassures Mini Num that other animals also have wishes and encourages him to trust that things will make sense when he grows up.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"How does Tiny explain Mini Num’s smallness in a positive way?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"Tiny compares animals’ needs—hippos need air, fish need water, alligators need deserts—while Mini Num can live anywhere under any circumstances.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"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":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"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"]
