Everyone rode in an old car, and the journey began.

قَالَتْ: «لَيْسَ هَذَا مِفْتَاحَ الْغُرْفَةِ.»

She said, “This is not the room key.”

كَانَ قَائِدُ اَلْفِرْقَةِ يَتَحَدَّثُ مَعَ مُهَنْدِسِ اَلصَّوْتِ، فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْهَا.

The band leader was talking with the sound engineer, So he did not hear her.

قَالَ: "كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ؟" أَجَابَ يُوسُفُ: "أَنَا وُلِدْتُ هُنَا."

He said, “How do you know that?” Youssef replied: "I was born here."

اِقْتَرَبَ نَادِرٌ مِنْهَا، وَقَالَ: «أَنَا آسِفٌ.

Nader came closer to her and said: “I’m sorry.

She told her in a way that made Mom think that I wanted to leave her while she was sick.

في تلك اللحظة، نسيت ليلى تمامًا قلقها وتعبها.

At that moment, Layla completely forgot her anxiety and exhaustion.

رد عليّ وقال: "زعيم.

كَانَتْ سَارَةُ تَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ صَغِيرٍ فِي مَكْتَبٍ حَدِيثٍ.

Sarah was sitting on a small chair in a modern office.

تَرْكُضُ مَرْيَمُ نَحْوَ الْقَارِبِ، لَكِنَّ الْقَارِبَ مَا زَالَ هُنَاكَ.

Maryam runs toward the boat. But the boat is still there.

كَانَ هَذَا اَلْحَفْلُ فُرْصَتَهُ اَلْكَبِيرَةَ.

This concert was his big opportunity.

حَمَلَ الْعُمَّالُ الصُّنْدُوقَ إِلَى السَّيَّارَةِ.

The workers carried the box to the car.

تُنَادِيكَ بِاسْمِكَ بِصَوْتٍ حَبِيبٍ، لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَتْرُكُ ظِلًّا أَبَدًا تَحْتَ ضَوْءِ القَمَرِ."

انتظرت عشرين دقيقة أخرى حتى جاءت الحافلة التالية.

She waited another twenty minutes until the next bus came.

يَمْلَأُ صَوْتُ الْجُمْهُورِِ الْمَلْعَبَ.

The sound of the crowd fills the stadium.

بَعْدَ دَقِيقَتَيْنِ، يُسَجِّلُ أَحَدُ اَللَّاعِبِينَ هَدَفًا رَائِعًا!

After two minutes, one of the players scores a wonderful goal!

هِيَ سَائِحَةٌ مِنْ بَلَدٍ بَعِيدٍ.

She is a tourist from a far country.

كُلَّ مَساءٍ، تَرى سارَة ظِلّاً يَمْشي خَلْفَ البَيْتِ ثُمَّ يَخْتَفي.

Every evening, Sarah sees a shadow walking behind the house then disappears.

نَظَرَتْ مَرْيَمُ إِلَى هَاتِفِهَا.

Maryam looked at her phone.

مرّت دقيقتان بصمت تام. رانيا لم تلاحظ شيئًا.

Two minutes passed in complete silence. Rania didn't notice anything.

إِنَّهُ كَلْبٌ صَغِيرٌ يَجْرِي بَيْنَ اَللَّاعِبِينَ.

It is a small dog running between the players.

لَكِنْ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ، انْتَهَتِ الصَّدَاقَةُ فَجْأَةً.

But on one day, the friendship ended suddenly.

نظيف. رسمياً.

بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ، وَجَدَا حَبْلًا قَدِيمًا عَلَيْهِ شَعْرٌ أَبْيَضُ.

Okay, I have another question.

رَأَتْ رَانِيَا الْحُزْنَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، فَقَطَعَتْ لَهُ قِطْعَةً صَغِيرَةً.

Rania saw the sadness in his eyes, so she cut a small piece for him.

بِمُسَاعَدَةِ السُّيَّاحِ، حَفَرَتْ لَيْلَى الرَّمْلَ حَوْلَ الْحِجَارَةِ، وَوَجَدَتِ اتِّجَاهَ الطَّرِيقِ الْقَدِيمِ.

With the help of the tourists, Layla dug the sand around the stones, and found the direction of the old path.

لم أذكر اسمك، يا شاب.

I didn't mention your name, young man.

منذ زمن طويل لم أرها

For a long time I haven't seen it

رَأَى صَدِيقَهُ الْقَدِيمَ يُوسُفَ يَقْتَرِبُ مِنْهُ بِابْتِسَامَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ.

He saw his old friend Yusuf approaching him with a big smile.

A loud sound comes out from it.

The score is zero to zero.

قَالَ عَمُّهَا رَاشِدٌ: «هَذِهِ آثَارُ مَهَاةٍ مُصَابَةٍ.»

Her uncle Rashed said, “These are the tracks of an injured oryx.”

اسْمُهُ السَّيِّدُ خَالِدٌ، مُدِيرُ الْمَوَارِدِ الْبَشَرِيَّةِ.

His name is Mr. Khalid, the Human Resources manager.

وَجَدَتِ الدَّفْتَرَ، لَكِنَّ الصَّفْحَةَ الْمُهِمَّةَ كَانَتْ مُمَزَّقَةً!

She found the notebook, but the important page was torn!
