Then they agreed and decided to collect money for the gift, which will be a good book Amal choose it. Amal s parents prepared everything for Uncle Omer visit, and after he arrived , he opened the gift . There is nothing for Bilaal. He started crying, because he thought Uncle Omer Santa claus coming with a lot of toys. Uncle Omer stammered with embarrassment, then he gave the children money, but Billal refused to take them and said "I want a red car" and cried again, then he slept. Uncle Omer went again.
