One day, a very sad thing happened. Many homes were broken. But the people were strong. They worked together and rebuilt their city. It was beautiful again! Omar felt very hopeful. Now, another very difficult time has come. The buildings are broken again, and Omar feels very sad. He says, 'I saw my home rebuilt once. But now, I feel too tired to believe it can happen again.'
