‎بكره، بيدوب التلج وبيبان المرج-اللهجة الفلسطينية

The proverb says: “Tomorrow the snow will melt, and the meadow will appear,” meaning that the truth will eventually come out.

In the neighborhood, Sahar was known for being calm and respectful. But suddenly, everyone started looking at her strangely.

Whenever she walked by, people went silent.
Whenever she entered a shop, whispers started.

Eventually, she found out why.

Someone had spread a rumor that she had borrowed money from a neighbor and never returned it.

Sahar was shocked, because she was actually one of the most helpful people in the neighborhood.

Her mother told her:
“Go out and defend yourself!”

But Sahar refused.

She said:
“The truth will come out tomorrow.”

People took her silence as a confession.

Even her closest friend stopped replying to her.

A whole week passed while she endured people’s stares and gossip.

Then it turned out that the mistake was from the neighbor herself, and Sahar’s name had been mentioned by accident because of a similarity in names.

Suddenly, everyone’s attitude changed.

And every person who had spread the rumor lowered their head in embarrassment.

Sahar looked at everyone calmly and said:
“I told you… tomorrow the snow melts, and the meadow appears.”

And everyone stayed silent, with nothing left to say.
