Invited by Aunt Pearl to plankton salad, Akoya listens as family pearls become inspirations, including a rare black, bright pearl. When the ocean announces a competition for the most beautiful pearl, Akoya sees a chance for adventure and achievement, motivated by a clear goal and determination.","The Oyster  \nAuther : Laila Audi Illustrator : Maya Abboud English  \nThe Oyster  \nWritten by Layla Audi.  \nImages by Maya Abboud. © Asafeer Education Technologies FZ LLC, 2018.

She lives in Happy Oyster Bay. All of the other oysters spend their time reading the encyclopaedia “An Oyster’s Guide for Pearls that are Bright.”  \nAkoya didn’t really care about making pearls. Actually, she spent most of her time awake. Making pearls needed lots of sleep. Akoya hated to sleep.  \nOne day Aunt Pearl invited Akoya for plankton salad. It was Akoya’s favorite dish. She couldn’t resist it.  \nAfter lunch, Aunt Pearl opened a box and showed Akoya a beautiful pearl. It was her Aunt’s greatest accomplishment. It was the biggest pearl in Coral district. She asked Akoya,“I wonder what you will do Akoya. What will your greatest accomplishment be?”Akoya laughed as she replied,“I’ll do anything that doesn’t need sleep.”  \nAs Akoya turned around she noticed a show room, that contained a wonderful pearl. It was the most beautiful pearl she had ever seen in her entire life. It was black and bright. Aunt Pearl said,“My grandmother made this pearl and since then no other oyster managed to make something similar. Suddenly...  \n...the two oysters heard lots of noise outside. The oysters gathered around a competition announcement that read: “The most beautiful pearl in the ocean competition.” Akoya yelled,“What a wonderful opportunity; I love travelling on such journeys.”","cbCailPFw0HRDXav","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailPFw0HRDXav","pdf",1189571,2,27,"English","en",105,"# Story Setup\n## Akoya and Aunt Pearl\n# The Pearl Inspirations\n## The Rare Black Pearl\n# The Competition\n## Announcement and Akoya’s Response","[{\"question\":\"Why does Akoya hate sleeping and what does that mean for pearl-making?\",\"answer\":\"Akoya hates to sleep, but making pearls needs lots of sleep.
