فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ أُمِّي فِي أَنْ أَسَاعِدَ الْقِطَّةَ، وَعِنْدَمَا وَافَقَتْ أَسْرَعْتُ إِلَى الدَّاخِلِ، وَأَحْضَرْتُ مِنْشَفَةً نَاعِمَةً، وَجَفَفْتُ الْقِطَّةَ، وَأَحْضَرْتُ صُنْدُوقًا وَوَضَعْتُهَا فِيهِ، وَقَدَّمْتُ لَهَا الطَّعَامَ وَالْمَاءَ.

I asked my mother if I could help the cat, and when she agreed, I hurried inside, grabbed a soft towel, dried the cat off, put her in a box, and gave her some food and water.

قُلْتُ لِلْقِطَّةِ وَأَنَا مُبْتَسِمٌ: «الْآنَ أَنْتِ بِخَيْرٍ، لَا تَخَافِي!».

I smiled at the cat and said, "You're safe now, don't be afraid!"

قَالَتْ أُمِّي: «أَحْسَنْتَ يَا عَادِلُ، يَجِبُ أَنْ نَرْفُقَ بِالْحَيَوَانَاتِ».

My mother said, "Well done, Adel; we must be kind to animals."
