What the tale is about
Before dawn, Mr. Ahmet kisses his children goodbye and sets out with his orange juice cart. He leaves eggs for a poor neighbor, serves fresh juice honestly, treats Berkay when he has no money, and clears broken glass from the street. He offers juice to schoolchildren, gives water to a thirsty dog, and refuses to dilute his juice or cheat his customers. In the evening, he also brings oranges to a sick neighbor who has not treated his family kindly. The next day, he sells every orange and buys more, showing kindness, honesty, gratitude, and care for others.
