قَالَ الْأَبُ: وَمَاذَا فَعَلْتِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ؟

The father asked, "What did you do after that?"

رَدَّتْ مُنَى بِخَجَلٍ: تَذَكَّرْتُ مَا قُلْتَهُ لِي بِأَنَّنَا يَجِبُ أَنْ يَسْتَمِعَ كُلٌّ مِنَّا إِلَى الْآخَرِ؛ فَاسْتَمَعْتُ لِرَأْيِهَا لِلنِّهَايَةِ، ثُمَّ اقْتَرَحْتُ أَنْ نُقَسِّمَ الْحَفْلَ إِلَى جُزْءٍ رِيَاضِيٍّ وَجُزْءٍ فَنِّيٍّ، فَوَافَقَتْ فَوْرًا.

Muna replied shyly, "I remembered what you told me about listening to one another. I listened to her opinion until the end, then suggested we split the party into an athletic section and an artistic one, and she agreed immediately."

قَالَ الْأَبُ: هَذَا هُوَ التَّوَاصُلُ الْحَقِيقِيُّ يَا مُنَى أَنْ نَفْهَمَ الْآخَرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ نُطَالِبَهُ بِأَنْ يَفْهَمَنَا.

The father said, "That is true communication, Muna—understanding others before demanding they understand us."
