Amir goes about his every day looking for an opportunity to do something good to give him a sense of satisfaction and most importantly, a job that’s worth a Nobel Prize.
Amir wanders the streets and offers help to those around him, such as helping his neighbor Om Amin carry heavy grocery bags, watering plants with Abu Samer, and helping his friend Khaled fix his bicycle after he fell off it. Amir gradually discovers that no matter how simple the work we offer or do, it can always make a big difference to others. Good deeds are always valuable no matter how small or big they were.
“Every Day’s Prize” story encourages children to do small and useful good deeds, because doing something good is a rewarding prize on its own.
