يُحْكَى أَنَّ أَحَدَ الْحُكَمَاءِ خَرَجَ مَعَ ابْنِهِ فِي نُزْهَةٍ؛ لِيُعَلِّمَهُ مِنْ تَجَارِبِهِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ.

A wise man once took his son out for a walk to teach him from his own life experiences.

سَلَكَ الاثْنَانِ وَادِياً عَمِيقاً تُحِيطُ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ الشَّاهِقَةُ، وَأَثْنَاءَ سَيْرِهِمَا، تَعَثَّرَ الطِّفْلُ فِي مَشْيِهِ، وَصَرَخَ مِنَ الْأَلَمِ: آه، فَإِذَا بِهِ يَسْمَعُ مِنْ أَقْصَى الْوَادِي مَنْ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ: آه.

They traveled through a deep valley hemmed in by towering mountains, and as they walked, the boy stumbled and cried out in pain, "Ah!" To his surprise, he heard a voice from the far end of the valley call back, "Ah!"

نَسِيَ الطِّفْلُ الْأَلَمَ، وَشَكَّ أَنَّ أَحَداً يَسْخَرُ مِنْهُ، فَسَأَلَهُ: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَإِذَا الْجَوَابُ يَأْتِيهِ: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟

Forgetting his pain and suspecting someone was mocking him, he shouted, "Who are you?" The answer came back, "Who are you?"
