اقْرَأِ الْقِصَّةَ السَّابِقَةَ قِرَاءَةً صَامِتَةً مُتَأَمِّلاً عَنَاصِرَهَا وَمَشَاهِدَهَا، ثُمَّ اكْتُبْ قِصَّةً قَصِيرَةً فِي أَحَدِ الْمَوْضُوعَيْنِ الآتِيَيْنِ:

Read the previous story silently, reflecting on its elements and scenes, then write a short story based on one of the following two topics:

صَيَّادٌ فَقِيرٌ يَعِيشُ مَعَ زَوْجَتِهِ الطَّيِّبَةِ فِي كُوخٍ صَغِيرٍ، عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ، فَكَانَ يَصِيدُ السَّمَكَ، وَيَبِيعُهُ، وَيَشْتَرِي بِثَمَنِهِ مَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ هُوَ وَامْرَأَتُهُ، وَكَانَا سَعِيدَيْنِ رَاضِيَيْنِ بِحَيَاتِهِمَا الْمُتَوَاضِعَةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ الْفَقْرُ يُنَغِّصُ عَلَيْهِمَا عَيْشَهُمَا، إِلا أَنَّهُمَا لَمْ يُرْزَقَا وَلَدًا.....

عَاشَ أَخَوَانِ مُتَحَابَّانِ لا يَفْتَرِقَانِ كَأَنَّهُمَا تَوْأَمَانِ، حَتَّى إِنَّ أَبَاهُمَا بَعْدَ أَنْ شَاهَدَ مَا يَمْتَلِكَانِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الثَّرْوَةِ النَّادِرَةِ، لَمْ يَتْرُكْ لَهُمَا ثَرْوَةً مِنَ الأَمْلاكِ وَالْعَقَارِ وَالأَمْوَالِ، تُكَدِّرُ صَفْوَ هَذَا الْحُبِّ، بِمَا يَحْدُثُ مِنْ نِزَاعٍ عِنْدَ اقْتِسَامِ الْمِيرَاثِ.

Two brothers lived in such close harmony they were inseparable, like twins. Their father, witnessing this rare bond, chose not to leave them any property, land, or money that might taint their love with the disputes that often arise when dividing an inheritance.
