يَجْلِسُ حُسَامٌ فَتَرَاتٍ طَوِيلَةً أَمَامَ الْكُمبِيُوتَرِ، وَالْيَوْمَ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى عَيْنِهِ مُتَأَلِّمًا، وَقَالَ: «أُمِّي، عَيْنِي تُؤْلِمُنِي!».

Husam spends long periods in front of the computer. Today, he clutched his eye in pain and said, 'Mother, my eye hurts!'

قَالَتِ الْأُمُ: «سَلَامَتَكَ يَا حُسَامُ.. أَعْرِفُ أَنَّكَ تُحِبُّ الْكُمبِيُوتَرَ وَلَكِنَّ الْجُلُوسَ أَمَامَ الشَّاشَةِ لِفَتْرَةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ يُؤْذِي عَيْنَيْكَ».

His mother replied, 'I hope you feel better, Husam. I know you love the computer, but sitting in front of the screen for so long is hurting your eyes.'

قَالَ حُسَامٌ: «وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَكْمِلَ اللُّعْبَةَ».

Husam said, 'But I want to finish the game.'
