I’m Glad You Told Us

Scene 1 — An unexpected message

Grandfather Abdullah sees a message on his phone.

Grandfather Abdullah: “Salem, I received a message saying I’ve won a prize, and they want my card details.”

Salem: “Did you enter a competition, Dad?”

Grandfather Abdullah: “No, I didn’t. That’s why I thought it was strange.”

Scene 2 — Pressure to hurry

Ghaya reads the message with Grandfather.

Ghaya: “It says you must reply now, or you’ll lose the prize!”

Grandfather Abdullah: “They offered me a prize I never asked for, and now they want me to hurry?”

Scene 3 — Pausing to check

Salem sits beside his father.

Salem: “Let’s check with the organisation using the official number we know before doing anything.”

Grandfather Abdullah: “Yes, not the number written in the message itself.”

Scene 4 — Asking without embarrassment

Hamad: “I’m glad you asked, Grandfather.”

Grandfather Abdullah: “Why wouldn’t I ask? No one has to know everything.”

Salem: “Exactly, Dad. Any of us could receive messages like this.”

Scene 5 — The trick is revealed

After checking, they discover that the message is not from the organisation it claims to represent.

Salem: “It wasn’t from them, Dad.”

Grandfather Abdullah: “Then there’s no prize at all. I’m glad we checked before giving them anything.”

Scene 6 — Advice for everyone

Rashid comes in and hears what happened.

Rashid: “I received a similar message too.”

Grandfather Abdullah: “Then this is a lesson for all of us: if something puzzles you, ask, check, and don’t rush.”
