Sara and Saira- the Twins from Exhortation Valley.
Words catcher roamed with its sieve-like ear. It heard a lot of whispers and complains of people for not having particular things; he became dismayed by how people can neglect their blessings and fantasize what others have.
Some people wish to have everything in life, and this is what Sara wanted-just everything in life. Some people always envy what others have. They see themselves in the reflection of other people, and this is how Saira was in her
life. She envied what her twin had and ignored her blessings.
Words catcher took the twins to the exhortation Valley to make them realize what happens when we get everything in life and when we lose the blessings we had in life.
The travel through the exhortation Valley teaches the twins about how to value blessings in life. Enjoy some of the excerpts from the book.
Sara chanted her wishes
Sara chanted:
Why can’t I soar like a bird so free
Why can’t I dive like a fish with glee
Why can’t I breathe underwater
Why can’t I jump from the tower
Why can’t I soar like the wind
Why can’t I change my color
Saira chanted:
Why can’t I be social like her
Why can’t I be popular
Why can’t I be a queen in Drama
Why can’t I be a lady with charisma
Why can’t I be white as snow
Why can’t my hair be long and flow
Why can’t I bewitch others by my looks
Why can’t I crawl out from my nook

After drinking some water, Sara decided that she could not fly anymore and said, “If only I could swim like a fish and breathe underwater, I could carry my sister to a doctor.”
The wind echoed to her, “Take the fins and gills and glide like a fish, and see if it helps.”
Sara felt herself changing and jumped into the water. It felt nice and cool, and she could breathe under the water. She swam with abandon, and in her joy, she forgot her sister.
