"Our Little Arabian Cousin" by Blanche McManus is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around two young boys, Hamid and Rashid, who belong to different worlds: Hamid is a Bedouin child living in the open desert, while Rashid hails from the city of Medina. The narrative explores their friendship and adventures, shedding light on the unique customs, playful spirit, and the warmly hospitable nature of Bedouin life. At the start of the story, young Hamid eagerly anticipates the arrival of his friend Rashid, who has come from the city to stay with him in the desert tents. Hamid's father, Al-Abukar, is busy preparing to welcome Rashid and his family. The narrative highlights their warm greetings and hospitality, showcasing Bedouin traditions, including treating guests with respect and generosity. As the boys bond through various activities such as riding ponies, interacting with the falconer, and enjoying delightful meals, readers gain insight into the contrasting lifestyles of city and desert children while experiencing the beauty of friendship and adventure woven throughout their lives.
