Mysterious Phenomenon: Kids Powered by Sunlight?

Scientists and doctors in Pakistan are dumbfounded by a mysterious condition that's recently come to light: Abdul and Suhaib, two young boys aged nine and 13, function like regular children during daylight hours, soaking up the sun as they play and talk. Yet, as evening approaches, they turn into what can only be described as 'zombies,' incapable of speech or movement. Doctors are now investigating whether this strange occurrence is linked to the fact that the boys' parents are cousins. "We married young and had four children, but tragically, two died in infancy," the children's father, Muhammad Hashim, shared. "I’m almost convinced that Abdul and Suhaib live thanks to the energy they receive from the sun," he added.

After extensive examinations, doctors have dismissed the father's theory, pointing out that the children can still function in dark rooms as long as it's daytime. "We view this as a medical challenge and hope to uncover what truly happens to these boys when the sun sets," stated Professor Javed Akram, leader of the medical team investigating the case. "It’s intriguing that during the day they run, play, talk, and eat as if nothing is wrong, but as night falls, they 'fall' with it—closing their eyes, losing the ability to speak or eat."

At this stage, Abdul and Suhaib are undergoing a comprehensive series of tests, including opinions from international experts.
