What the tale is about

Lulu Coral wants to fill a basket with cherries from the garden tree, but his father explains that the green fruit is not ripe yet and he must wait. Unsure what patience means, Lulu tries shouting, stamping, crying, sulking, and sitting without doing anything. At last, he chooses a better way to spend the time by drawing a cherry tree and coloring its fruit carefully. As the days pass, Allah’s warm sunshine ripens the cherries. After birds and tiny worms take some, Lulu picks the rest with his father and learns that everything has its proper time.
