What the tale is about

Dust Speck has lived for thousands of years inside a dark wall, longing for the sky, sea, rain, and the human world. When Zehra and the old ant visit, he offers them tea and shows Zehra a scene from the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), where a blind Companion seeks guidance and kindness. A violent shaking then collapses part of the wall, separating the friends. As the old ant safely carries Zehra onward, he tells her about the Muslims’ long boycott, their steadfast faith, and the sign that ended it. Zehra finally reaches the small door where Mersin is waiting.
