Passage 3: Story - "The City Lights"
The city was loud, with cars honking and lights flashing like stars gone wild. Jamal, a 13 year old boy, lived in a small apartment with his mom. He wanted to be an artist, but the city felt like a giant maze that trapped him. At night, he drew pictures of open fields, dreaming of a quieter life. One day, a school art contest was announced. Jamal was scared to join - his drawings weren't like the fancy city art. But his mom said, "You're like David, facing a giant. Try anyway." Jamal entered a drawing of a bright field under a calm sky. The city's noise made him nervous, but drawing helped him feel free. At the contest, Jamal's picture won first place. The city, with all its chaos, had pushed him to create something beautiful.
