Lina: (excitedly) "Look at all the places we’ll visit! Do you think we’ll get to ride camels or see elephants?"

A World of Peace Anya, a vibrant young girl with skin as dark as the night sky, and Ethan, a curious boy with eyes almond-shaped and hair as black as midnight, were an unlikely pair. Their dads, Kenji, a thoughtful Asian man, and David, a warm-hearted Kenyan, were as different as their children, yet they shared a common desire: to understand the meaning of peace. Their journey began in the heart of Africa, Uganda. As they wandered through a bustling market, they noticed a man selling a colorful array of fruits. His smile was infectious, and his eyes held a wisdom that belied his years. Intrigued, they approached him. “Excuse me,” Kenji began, his voice gentle. “We’re traveling the world to learn about peace. What does peace mean to you?” The man paused, his eyes gazing out at the bustling market. “Peace,” he replied thoughtfully, “is like a warm blanket on a cold day. It’s the feeling of safety, of belonging. It’s when your stomach is full, and your heart is at ease.” Anya and Ethan exchanged curious glances. They had never thought of peace in such a simple, yet profound way. “And what about when there are disagreements or problems?” David asked. The man smiled. “Even in the midst of storms, there is always a calm center. That calm center is peace. It’s the ability to find understanding, even when we disagree.” As they continued their journey, Anya and Ethan carried the man’s words with them. They realized that peace wasn’t just about the absence of conflict; it was about finding harmony within oneself and with the world around them
