Fiction
The Wave that saw the sea
by Nabiha Mheidly
Description
A little wave is just born in the middle of a sea. At first, the wave experiences an enjoyable moment because the movements feel like swinging. However, after a while, she is bored, as nothing fun happens in her life and her movements are always smooth. She starts nagging and other waves laugh at her. Then, she gets very curious to see the sea. One day she watches the stars and prays, and another day asks the seabird to hold her up and show her the sea. But none works. One day, a strong wind blows and creates a big wave out of her. She rises and finally gets the opportunity to see the sea. Other scared waves become surprised when they see her happiness. But the wave asks them to enjoy the moment because there is nothing to be scared and if they fall, the sea hugs them. Other waves accept his words joining him happily. The story ends when the happy little wave disappears on the face and wavy hair of a little girl on the beach, and another little wave is born in the sea.

Reviews
"A small wave in the middle of the ocean has had enough of staying in sync with the other
waves, always drifting along in their monotone swaying and surging. But its wish to rebel
and break away remains unfulfilled, until one day something completely new and unexpected
happens. Driven on by the wind, the little wave moves faster and faster, rising ever higher,
until at last it rushes up to the beach, spuming and splashing across the sand, where a little
girl laughs delightedly at its cooling wetness"
