S1 - E9 - The story of the fisherman

Simple & Easy Arabic Podcast

The story of this week is about a fisherman who finds something very valuable inside one of the fishes he brings home. He goes on a journey to try and make the best possible deal, but that doesn't turn out to be as easy as he thought. The story is a parable about how we use our time on earth wisely. It is a challenging story, but definitely very educational.
