The Amazing Stories with Zucky the Hoopoe Season two Special four the seagull and the date pit.
Zaki:Ah, now this is nice. No crowds, no scrolls to sort, no sudden seagull squawks. Just me, my thoughts and the wide open sky.
Captain Suhai:I and me don't forget the most seasoned of sky captains. So Hailib Nalbar, conqueror of clouds, hoarder of ancient secrets, finder of forgotten pebbles. Is that
Zaki:what that is? A forgotten pebble? It looks remarkably like a very ordinary pebble.
Captain Suhai:Shows what you know. This here's a historic stone lad, weathered by centuries of shifting sands, kissed by moonlight, and possibly, possibly once stepped on by a camel of noble birth.
Zaki:Oh, yes. I can feel the blessing radiating off it. Wait. What else is in your feather satchel now?
Captain Suhai:A feather from an ancient owl, a scrap of something papery, half a beetle wing, and the crown jewel. A date pit. A date pit. Not just any date pit. This is a relic of great significance.
Captain Suhai:Found precisely one beak's width off the main path sun dried, sand scraped, possibly prophetic.
Zaki:Or possibly something you stepped on by accident.
Captain Suhai:Mock all you like young feathers, but this humble pit may yet prove to be our greatest treasury.
Zaki:Unless you plan on planting it, eating it, or trading it for 3 dinars and a camel saddle, I think we're safe from any sudden miracles.
Captain Suhai:Aye. But the desert holds secrets, and sometimes the smallest seed holds the greatest storm.
Zaki:That doesn't even make sense.
Captain Suhai:Not yet. It doesn't.
Zaki:Nora's missing all this, you know.
Captain Suhai:Aye. She's off organizing scrolls and trying not to glitter bomb the Surahs again.
Zaki:Last time, she wrote Bismilla with a swoosh and a kaboom sound effect.
Captain Suhai:A true artist. Still more dessert for us. More sand. More silence. More wait.
Captain Suhai:Another pit. We could start a collection.
Zaki:Oh, no. It's going to be one of those days. So let me get this straight. You're planning to carry a dried pit for the entire walk back to Medina?
Captain Suhai:I and with honor. This pit could be the last surviving remnant of a noble dynasty.
Zaki:A noble date dynasty?
Captain Suhai:Aye, lad. The fruit of kings passed from beak to beak through the ages, aged in sun, sand, and possibly sea mist.
Zaki:I'm starting to worry that all the sun has baked your brain.
Captain Suhai:The desert is full of forgotten treasures. You see a dried seed. I see destiny.
Zaki:I see a snack that didn't make it.
Captain Suhai:Zaki, allow me to introduce you to the sacred collection of captain Sohail, relics of survival and mystery. Relics of junk more like? Observe. Exhibit one, a feather from the winged owl of Yathrib. Possibly.
Captain Suhai:Exhibit two, the handle of a spoon once held by a very polite camel merchant.
Zaki:That's a broken twig and a bent bottle cap.
Captain Suhai:Aye, But purposeful ones.
Zaki:Nay. You know, for a captain, you're awfully sentimental about trash.
Captain Suhai:Sentimental? Nay. I am prepared. You never know when you'll need to patch distract a monkey, or trade for a half dried fig.
Zaki:Distract a monkey?
Captain Suhai:It's happened.
Zaki:Well, if we find ourselves stranded in the desert with nothing but that pit between us and survival, I'll apologize.
Captain Suhai:Careful where you fling things, lad. The earth remembers every pebble cast in haste.
Copyright:And yet somehow forgets every date pit jammed into a travel bag. Mock all you like young feathers,
Zaki:but I have the foresight of 10 falcons and a barn owl. You're right about one thing. You definitely sound like 10 falcons all yelling at once.
Captain Suhai:Mark my words, Zucky. This pit has a role to play. I can feel
Zaki:it in my feathers. I can feel something too. It's either foreshadowing or indigestion.
Captain Suhai:One day, lad, you'll look at this little seed and say, thank you noble pit. You saved us.
Zaki:When that happens, captain, I'll eat my own crest feathers with date syrup. Ow. My pouch just sprang a leak.
Captain Suhai:A leak, you say. Well then, lucky for you. We have a legendary artifact at hand. There. The date pit of destiny saves its first life.
Zaki:You plugged my water pouch with your date pit?
Captain Suhai:I it fits like a feather in
Copyright:a quill, tight as a barnacle in a bottle. It's literally just wedged in there.
Captain Suhai:And holding splendidly.
Copyright:Say it, lad. Say the words. I'm not saying it. Say it. Fine.
Copyright:The pit was moderately useful. Score one for the sacred seed.
Zaki:Looks like we've wandered off the main path again.
Captain Suhai:Not a problem. I've been marking our trail with my beak. What with your beak?
Copyright:And a little help from our trusty pit. See these marks here? Classic so hail style survival arrows pointing us right back to camp. Wait. You've been scratching the sand with the date pit this whole time?
Captain Suhai:Aye. A light press here, a swoop there, and behold, desert cartography.
Zaki:Yee, you turned your snack trash into a sand pin.
Captain Suhai:The pit of purpose strikes again.
Zaki:I still think we should have just asked that goat for directions.
Captain Suhai:Goats lie.
Zaki:I'm stuck. My wing so hail help.
Captain Suhai:Don't panic, lad. The pit is on it.
Zaki:You you use the pit as a lever. Indeed.
Copyright:The pit of prying. That was actually clever.
Captain Suhai:Aye. We're on a roll, lad. Soon the world shall know the legend of the one true pit.
Zaki:You named it now?
Captain Suhai:I'm thinking of building it a little shrine.
Zaki:You need a nap. I can't believe I'm saying this, but that pit has been weirdly helpful.
Captain Suhai:As all noble relics are.
Zaki:Still not a reason to treat it like the black stone of Mecca.
Captain Suhai:Speak not of what you don't understand, Zaki. The pit chooses when to reveal its glory.
Zaki:That's it. I'm walking ahead. Well, we made it back to the main path.
Captain Suhai:I still in one piece. No snake bites, no cursed mirages, no swooping desert bats.
Zaki:Don't say bats. You'll summon them.
Captain Suhai:Bah. Let them come. I'll fend them off with my bitter power.
Zaki:You didn't really keep it all this time.
Captain Suhai:Did you? Of course, I kept it. There it is. The noble pit. Survivor a thorn, thirst and trail, a true companion.
Zaki:Eat you talk about it like it's a fellow traveler.
Captain Suhai:Maybe it is. Some things don't need wings to carry you through the journey. I flicked
Zaki:it away without a second thought.
Captain Suhai:And yet, it came back every time, like
Zaki:it had a mission. Held my water pouch, marked our trail, pried open a thorn branch. Aye. Not bad for
Captain Suhai:a seed someone almost fed to
Zaki:a goat. You're not going to let me forget that, are you?
Captain Suhai:Not a chance.
Zaki:You know, maybe there's no such thing as small in the eyes of Allah. Even a date pit can carry blessings if it's used well.
Captain Suhai:Or maybe the pit was chosen. Chosen? Not by us, but by Cauder. It wasn't luck. We needed it.
Captain Suhai:It was written.
Copyright:That's surprisingly profound coming from you. Even I have my moments, lad. Don't ruin it.
Zaki:Right. Let me guess. You're going to build a shrine for it now?
Captain Suhai:Nah. I've got a better idea.
Zaki:You're planting it? Why not?
Captain Suhai:Let's see what it becomes.
Zaki:A pit that got us through the desert.
Captain Suhai:And might grow into something even better.
Zaki:You know, I've been thinking
Captain Suhai:Dangerous pastime.
Zaki:No, really. I kept calling that pit useless, but it wasn't.
Captain Suhai:It was small eye, but it wasn't worthless.
Zaki:Even the tiniest thing with the right intention can carry blessings. Even a forgotten pit. It's not about how big or flashy something is, it's what you do with it. Even a smile, a kind word, a little pit of a thing.
Captain Suhai:Used with sincerity, guided by faith, and occasionally jammed into a water pouch.
Zaki:I'll never look at a date pit the same way again.
Captain Suhai:Nor shall I. Though, next time I find one, I'm definitely eating it.
