فِي فِنَاءِ الْمَدْرَسَةِ، جَهَّزْنَا طَاوِلَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً، وَنَظَمْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْكُتُبَ، كَانَ الْمَشْهَدُ جَمِيلًا، كُتُبٌ مُلَوَّنَةٌ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ كُنَّا جَمِيعًا فَرِحِينَ.

We set up many tables in the school courtyard and arranged the books on them. It was a beautiful sight, with colorful books everywhere, and we were all so happy.

قَالَتِ الْمُعَلِّمَةُ: «يُمْكِنُ لِكُلِّ طِفْلٍ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ كِتَابًا يُعْجِبُهُ، لَكِنْ بِشَرْطِ أَنْ يَقْرَأَهُ، وَيُشَارِكَ مَعَ الْفَصْلِ مَا تَعَلَّمَهُ».

The teacher said, "Each child may choose a book they like, provided they read it and share what they learned with the class."

أَمَّا الْكُتُبُ الْمُتَبَقِّيَةُ الْمُمَزَّقَةُ وَالْمَلِيئَةُ بِالْحِبْرِ، فَجَمَعْنَاهَا بِاهْتِمَامٍ فِي صَنَادِيقَ كَبِيرَةٍ لِإِرْسَالِهَا إِلَى مَصْنَعٍ يُحَوِّلُ الْأَوْرَاقَ وَالْكُتُبَ الْقَدِيمَةَ إِلَى أَوْرَاقٍ جَدِيدَةٍ، كُتُبُنَا الْقَدِيمَةُ سَتُصْبِحُ كُتُبًا وَكُرَّاسَاتٍ جَدِيدَةً لِأَطْفَالٍ آخَرِينَ.

We carefully gathered the remaining torn and ink-stained books into large boxes to be sent to a factory that recycles old paper. Our old books would soon become new books and notebooks for other children.
