Liam O' Flaherty

Wars bring only destruction; this is evident from the given story. The Irish Civil War (1922–1923) happened because people in Ireland disagreed about how the country should be ruled. Some, like Michael Collins, wanted to accept a deal with Britain that would make Ireland partly free, while others wanted complete freedom right away. The war started on June 28, 1922, when Michael Collins gave the order to attack a group who did not agree with the deal.
On a rooftop, a Republican sniper was keeping watch with his rifle, waiting for a chance to strike at his enemies. While shooting at a man in a turreted vehicle, the sniper himself was shot in the right forearm. Who could have attacked the sniper? How would he deal with the shooter? And who could the shooter be? Read this gripping and heartbreaking story to find out the fate of the sniper and the tragic losses faced by all who participate in wars.

Get Started in 4 Simple Steps

I recently downloaded this app, and now my kids no longer pester me at night to tell them a story. My eldest daughter reads independently, and the younger ones listen to her.

Zarnish Ali, Parent

I started using the AlifLaila app for my niece, and honestly, I’ve had a great experience. She was already interested in stories, and now her interest has grown even more.

Nimra Iqbal, Aunt

I got this app for my son. Since I wanted to instill the love of reading in him and I wanted to register for some library, unfortunately, we don’t have any libraries in our city. Then I came across your digital library. That was very affordable and saved the hassle of travel.

Hina Umer, Parent

We recently moved out of Pakistan, and for the past few months, my son has been telling me how much he misses his grandmother, who used to tell him bedtime stories. I am not great at storytelling so when my sister-in-law mentioned an app that her kids in Pakistan were enjoying I decided to try it out. Now, my son is thrilled to hear new stories from me every day and those complaints have disappeared. Thank you AlifLaila for bringing happiness back to our bedtime route in, even miles away from.
