yellow and red.. set in a tempting box with pretty pictures.. but the little ones would knead clay in the orchard and make a model of the real oven they saw before them.
Their childhood lacked no happiness... rather it was increased by their sense of strength, of chivalry, and of the power to create and invent... Had they had mothers with some measure of learning, they would have discovered the gifted among them... and we would have had inventors and creators.

And after all this.. a few months ago Egypt counted what it imports from abroad in children's toys.. and found that it imports from England and France every year the equivalent of two million Lebanese liras... this apart from what it imports from Japan, America, and elsewhere.. And I believe that Lebanon, small as its area is compared with Egypt, imports a like sum.
Two million Lebanese liras spent every year.. and spent this year in particular on children's toys... Is it not only just that they become thousands instead of millions?..
Two million liras not spent on the army.. nor on the weapons that would shield us from the evil of an aggression we may face.. nor spent, either, on strengthening the country's economy — but on toys for children, and nothing more..
We are a nation in an age in which only the strong survive.. and we are a nation in need of hardy young men, not pampered ones.. and of young women who will enter the battle beside the men..
It has been destined for our little
ones to be the army ready at every hour.. the generation that will build a nation.. revive a glory.. and record a history.. And until our rebirth as a nation is complete — free.. truly strong.. then we shall celebrate anew the feast of rebirth and freedom.
