There’s No Place Like Home

Ahmed was excited to go back home. After five years, he said, "I missed my house so much!" When he got out of the car, he smiled. He could see the big tree in the yard and feel the warm sun on his face.

His mother opened the door and hugged him tight. She said, "Ahmed! The house is brighter with you here!" Ahmed laughed and added, "I love it here, it feels just right!" They went inside together, happy to be home.

Inside, Ahmed saw his little sister, Amina, playing with her toys. She looked up and shouted, 'Ahmed!' She ran over and gave him a big hug. Ahmed smiled and said, 'I missed you, Amina! Let's play later!' Her eyes sparkled with joy, and she nodded happily.

In the kitchen, Ahmed smelled his favorite cookies baking. His father was there, stirring a big pot on the stove. 'Welcome back, Ahmed!' his father said with a grin. Ahmed took a deep breath and said, 'It smells so good! Just like home!' They all chuckled and sat down at the table to eat together.

After dinner, they sat in the cozy living room. Ahmed listened to the stories his family shared, feeling warm and loved. The house was filled with laughter and happiness. Ahmed thought to himself, 'There's truly no place like home.' And he knew that he had missed this more than anything.
