Jasmine watched Cassim more closely as night fell. She sang to him and watched him fall asleep as she sang.
When she looked at him it made her heart start to break.
He looked so frail! When she had first seen and met him he had been muscular, strong, and handsome. Now he was frail and weak!
As the hours passed Cassim's breathing gradually became more shallow.
Jasmine soon fell asleep. When she awoke it was well past dawn. She looked at Cassim to see that he wasn't moving!
"Cassim?"
To her joy Cassim stirred and opened his eyes.
Jasmine took care of him. He very gradually got better and regained his strength.
Finally, about a month later he was well again.
Durning the time that Cassim was getting better he and Jasmine had become closer.
Cassim lived for many more years. He even got to see his great-grandchildren get married! He died one night in his sleep at a very old age.
