"Ali and the Magic Stew" tells us the story of a very rich boy named Ali, whose father is sick. Ali meets a beggar and the man tells him that the only way for his father to get better is to make him a stew with money he begs for in the street. Ali is a very proud child, and he is embarrased by the idea of doing something like that. However, as he goes through the experience, he becomes humble and is able to feel more empathy for poor people like the beggar.

This is exemplified by the fact that Ali puts his arms around the beggar to steady him. Ali has now learned that he is not superior to other people, and he is willing to help those in need.
