سُعَادُ وَالسَّحَاب

جَلَسَتْ سُعَادُ وَجَدُّهَا فِي الْحَدِيقَةِ.

jalasat su'aadu wa jadduhaa fi-l-Hadiiqati.

Suad and her grandpa sat in the garden.

نَظَرَتْ سُعَادُ إِلَى السَّحَابِ فِي السَّمَاءِ.

naZarat su'aadu ila-s-saHaabi fi-s-samaa'.

Suad looked at the clouds in the sky.

قَالَتْ: هَذَا سَحَابٌ مِثْلُ سَفِينَةٍ!

qaalat: haadhaa saHaabun mithlu safeenatin!

She said: that cloud looks like a ship!

قَالَ جَدُّهَا: وَهَذَا سَحَابٌ مِثْلُ سَمَكَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ!

qaala jadduhaa: wa haadhaa saHaabun mithlu samakatin kabiiratin!

Her grandpa said: and that one looks like a big fish!

قَالَتْ سُعَادُ: وَهَذَا سَحَابٌ مِثْلُ سَلْطَعُونٍ!

qaalat su'aadu: wa haadhaa saHaabun mithlu sulT'uunin!

Suad said: and that one looks like a crab!

ذَابَ السَّحَابُ فِي الْمَغِيبِ، وَقَالَ جَدُّهَا: غَداً سَحَابٌ جَدِيدٌ.

dhaaba-s-saHaabu fi-l-maghibi, wa qaala jadduhaa: ghadan saHaabun jadiid.

The clouds melted into the sunset, and grandpa said: tomorrow there will be new clouds.
