Meanwhile, their friend Sausan sat in her bedroom, getting the Eid gifts ready for her friends. She stuffed perfumes, clothes, and delicious home-made desserts into bags and boxes. As she sealed up the last of her little Eid cards...
Ding dong!
Sausan rushed to the door to meet Zahra.
After a joyous greeting, Zahra hesitantly spoke, "So I was wondering if you could help me buy Sayyada and Sakina their Eid presents. I didn't know what to get them and now I'm so overwhelmed!"
Sausan nodded in agreement to assist her friend, then suddenly questioned, "Why would you leave this so last minute?"
Zahra sighed and answered, "It wasn't last minute. I've thought about what to get the girls for the whole month. After all, during my fasts, I have a ton of time on my hands. But I just can't think of what to get them!"
"Don't worry. I'm here for you!" Sausan grinned, and the two girls headed out to the mall to buy some awesome gifts for their friends.
