While bills are paid and groceries are bought, Akif longs for a remote-control toy speed boat. His grandfather explains the difference between necessities and wants, using clear, practical examples about electricity and food to reshape Akif’s understanding and acceptance.","The Toy Boat Mohamed Shanoon  \nAhmad Humair  \nEarly one morning, Akif and his grandfather headed out for a walk. After walking for awhile, they sat down on a bench in the park. While Akif watched the sunrise with interest, his grandfather was busy on his phone paying the electric and water utility bills. Akif noticed this and observed his grandfather for a moment, but he did not ask any questions.  \nAfter spending some time in the park, Akifand his grandfather headed home. On the way home, they stopped by a shop and bought a kilo of rice and a kilo of flour.  \nAs they were leaving the shop, Akif noticed a remote-control speed boat. He said to his grandfather, “Grandpa, buy this boat for me . I really want this kind of boat.” His grandfather replied, “Grandson, I do not have the money these days to buy that boat. I will buy it for you when I do.”\u003C/span>  \nAkif found it difficult to accept this answer .“He has money to pay bills. He has money to buy things needed at home. But he does not have money to buy things I ask for” Akif thought.\u003C/span>  \nGrandpa immediately noticed the change in Akif’s mood when they got home. So, he called Akif over, sat him down on the sofa, and asked, “Grandson, why are you unhappy? Did I do something wrong?”\u003C/span>  \n“You didn’t get me the boat and said you didn’t have money. But I see that you have money to do other things,” Akif complained.\u003C/ span>  \nGrandpa pulled Akif closer and lovingly said, “I said I did not have the money to buy the boat now. Everything I spent money on today was necessary. But even if we delay buying the boat, you will still live.” \u003C/span>  \nAkif looked at his grandfather with great surprise and said, “I do not understand.”\u003C/ span>  \nOnce again, Grandpa explained in a nurturing tone.“Grandson, there are certain things we absolutely need to be able to live in this world. For example, if the electricity bill is not paid today then there would be no electricity. We would have to live in darkness.”\u003C/span>  \n”Would you be okay with that? After that, I bought was food. We cannot eat without rice. You would not have anything to eat before you leave for school. Would you be able to study in school when you are hungry?”\u003C/ span>","cbCailHJJuIwl6Tq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailHJJuIwl6Tq","pdf",1161217,15,"English","en",105,"# The Morning Walk\n## Akif’s Request for the Toy Boat\n## Explaining Needs vs. Wants\n## Electricity and Food as Necessities","[{\"question\":\"Where do Akif and his grandfather go at the beginning of the story?\",\"answer\":\"They head out for a walk and later sit on a bench in the park while Akif watches the sunrise.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Akif ask his grandfather to buy, and how is the request received?\",\"answer\":\"Akif asks for a remote-control speed boat.
