أَخِيرًا نَجَحَ وَلَمْ تَقَعِ الْقَشَّةُ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ، فَرَفْرَفَ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ فَرَحًا.

He finally succeeded, and the straw didn't fall this time, so he flapped his wings in joy.

ثُمَّ بَدَأَ يَجْمَعُ كَثِيرًا مِنَ عِيدَانِ الْقَشِّ، وَيُنَظِّمُهَا بِصَبْرٍ.

He then began collecting many stalks of straw, arranging them patiently.

مَرَّتْ أَيَّامٌ وَالْعُصْفُورُ يَعْمَلُ لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا، حَتَّى اكْتَمَلَ عُشُّهُ فَوْقَ الْغُصْنِ.

Days passed as the bird worked night and day, until his nest on the branch was complete.
