Chapter 1: The Curious Olive

Curious Olive is in Jerusalem

Once upon a time, there was a little olive named Meraklı. Meraklı was different from other olives because it had hands and feet. It lived happily on an olive tree, watching the world with curiosity. From its spot on the tree, Meraklı could see a magnificent sight in the distance - the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. It was a beautiful golden dome that sparkled in the sunlight.

One day, a girl named Meryem came to visit the olive tree. Meryem had long brown hair and a colorful bag on her back. As she looked around, an olive fell from the tree and landed on her bag. Startled, Meryem held onto her bag tightly and looked up to see where it came from. She noticed Meraklı, the curious olive, with its hands and feet. Excitedly, she reached out her hand and gently picked up the olive.

Meryem decided to name the olive Meraklı because it was always curious about everything. Meraklı held onto Meryem's colorful backpack as they walked away from the tree. They came across a group of children and adult guides ahead. Meryem introduced Meraklı to the group, and everyone was amazed by the olive with hands and feet. They welcomed Meraklı with open arms.

The group of children and adult guides gathered in front of the Dome of the Rock. There was an adult guide who knew many stories about the historical site. Meryem, with Meraklı in her bag, listened attentively to the guide's words. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she learned about the rich history and significance of the Dome of the Rock.

As the group continued their tour, they came across another group of people praying in front of the Dome of the Rock. They stood with open hands, praying for peace. Meryem joined them, opening her hands with the olive still in her bag. She prayed for peace and happiness for everyone in the world, including Meraklı, her curious olive friend.

After the prayer, Meryem and Meraklı explored the narrow streets of the Old City of Jerusalem. They marveled at the colorful market stalls, the delicious smells of spices, and the beautiful architecture. Meraklı couldn't believe how many new things it was discovering. It was an adventure they would never forget.

As the day came to an end, Meryem and Meraklı sat under a shady tree. They looked back at the Dome of the Rock in the distance, feeling grateful for the wonderful experience they had shared. Meryem made a promise to Meraklı and to herself that they would return one day to continue their exploration and learn even more about the world.

From that day on, Meryem and Meraklı remained the best of friends. They would often go on new adventures together, exploring different places and learning about different cultures. Meraklı, the curious olive, taught Meryem to always be curious and open-minded. And Meryem, with her kind heart, showed Meraklı the beauty of friendship and the joy of discovering the world.
