What the tale is about
The spinach grown with love in Sofralar Village dreams of giving children vitamins and strength as it travels from Auntie Hanım’s field to a school kitchen. At school, the children first sit down without washing their hands and decide they do not want to eat the spinach. Their teacher reminds them of the Prophet’s advice about washing hands before meals and teaches them to taste a small amount, take only what they can eat, and avoid talking with food in their mouths. When the children discover the spinach is delicious, they enjoy their meal and thank the cooks and Allah for His blessings.
