تَرَدَّدَتْ نُورُ قَلِيلًا، ثُمَّ رَفَعَتْ يَدَهَا، وَقَالَتْ بِصَوْتٍ خَافِتٍ: «أُسْتَاذَةُ، أَنَا الَّتِي كَسَرْتُ الْكُرْسِيَّ، لَكِنِّي لَمْ أَقْصِدْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَدْ تَعَثَّرَتْ قَدَمِي وَسَقَطْتُ عَلَيْهِ».

Nour hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and said in a low voice, "Teacher, I’m the one who broke the chair. I didn't mean to; I tripped and fell onto it."

ابْتَسَمَتِ الْمُعَلَّمَةُ وَقَالَتْ بِهُدُوءٍ: «شُكْرًا لَكِ يَا نُورُ عَلَى صِدْقِكِ، وَمَا حَدَثَ خَطَأٌ بَسِيطٌ، لَكِنَّهُ دَرْسٌ كَبِيرٌ فِي الشَّجَاعَةِ وَالْأَمَانَةِ».

The teacher smiled and said calmly, "Thank you for your honesty, Nour. It was a simple mistake, but it serves as a great lesson in courage and integrity."

نَظَرَتْ نُورُ إِلَى لُجَيْنِ وَهَمَسَتْ بِامْتِنَانٍ: «شُكْرًا؛ لِأَنَّكِ شَجَّعْتِنِي كُنْتُ خَائِفَةً، لَكِنَّكِ مَنَحْتِنِي الْقُوَّةَ».

Nour looked at Lujain and whispered gratefully, "Thank you for encouraging me. I was scared, but you gave me the strength to do it."
