A boy planned to go to Baghdad for higher studies. His mother sewed coins into the lining of his coat for safety.
She advised him to speak the truth in any circumstances. On route to Baghdad, the caravan was attacked by Footpads.
One robber searched that boy and asked, “Do you have any valuables”? He said, “Yes”.
Robber searched again but did not find anything.
He took him to the Chief and on asking the boy unsewed the coins. Chief asked why he did not hide. He told about the advice of his mother. His unwavering faith cracked robbers’ ruthlessness.

Winter
Does It have Pockets is a fantastic online literary magazine which gave me so much support when I submitted 'Winter' a piece about my favourite character out of those I have created - Winter Williams/Winta Wicks. This piece was published in their April edition along with some incredible writers. It is one of the first pieces I have been paid for. You can find it on https://www.doesithavepockets.com/fiction/alyson-smith . I recommend submitting to this magazine, they were so encouraging and supportive.
