نَقْرَأُ النَّصَّ الآتِيَ، وَنَسْتَخْرِجُ مِنْهُ الْمَفْعُولَ بِهِ.

Read the following text and identify the direct object.

إِلى أَيْنَ تَأْخُذُنِي يَا أَبِي؟

Where are you taking me, Father?

إِلى جِهَةِ الرِّيحِ يَا وَلَدِي.

Toward the wind, my son.

وَهُما يَخْرُجَانِ مِنَ السَّهْلِ، حَيْثُ أَقامَ جُنُودُ بُونابَرْت تَلًّا لِرَصْدِ الظِّلالِ عَلى سُورِ عَكَّا الْقَدِيمِ.

They left the plain, where Bonaparte's soldiers had built a hill to watch the shadows on the ancient walls of Acre.

يَقُولُ أَبٌ لِابْنِهِ: لَا تَخَفْ.

A father says to his son, "Do not be afraid."

لَا تَخَفْ مِنْ أَزِيزِ الرَّصاصِ.

Do not fear the whizzing of bullets.

الْتَصِقْ بِالْقِرَابِ لِتَنْجُوَ.

Stay close to the scabbard so you may survive.

سَنَنْجُو وَتَعْلُو عَلى جَبَلٍ فِي الشِّمَالِ، وَنَرْجِعُ حِينَ يَعُودُ الْجُنُودُ إِلى أَهْلِهِمْ فِي الْبَعِيدِ.

We will survive and climb a mountain in the north, and we will return when the soldiers go back to their families far away.

وَمَنْ يَسْكُنُ الْبَيْتَ مِنْ بَعْدِنا يَا أَبِي؟

Who will live in our house after we leave, Father?

نُعْرِبُ الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي تَحْتَهَا خُطُوطٌ فِيمَا يَأْتِي:

Parse the underlined words in the following:

وَاسْتَقْبَلَتْ قَمَرَ السَّمَاءِ بِوَجْهِها، فَأَرَتْنِيَ الْقَمَرَيْنِ فِي وَقْتٍ مَعاً.

She turned her face to the moon in the sky, and suddenly I saw two moons at once.

سَيَبْقى عَلى حالِهِ مِثْلَما كانَ يَا وَلَدِي!

It will remain exactly as it was, my son!

تَحَسَّسَ مِفْتاحَهُ مِثْلَما يَتَحَسَّسُ أَعْضاءَهُ، وَاطْمَأَنَّ.

He felt for his key as if it were a part of his own body, and he felt reassured.

وَقالَ لَهُ وَهُما يَعْبُرانِ سِياجاً مِنَ الشَّوْكِ: يَا ابْنِي تَذَكَّرْ!

As they crossed a thorn fence, he said to him, "Remember this, my son."

هُنا صَلَبَ الْإِنْجِلِيزُ أَباكَ عَلى شَوْكِ صُبَّارَةٍ لَيْلَتَيْنِ، وَلَمْ يَعْتَرِفْ أَبَداً.

Here, the British crucified your father on a cactus for two nights, and he never confessed.

سَوْفَ تَكْبَرُ يَا ابْنِي، وَتَرْوِي لِمَنْ يَرِثُونَ بَنادِقَهُمْ سِيرَةَ الدَّمِ فَوْقَ الْحَدِيدِ.

You will grow up, my son, and tell those who inherit their rifles the story of blood spilled on iron.

لِماذا تَرَكْتَ الْحِصانَ وَحِيداً؟

Why did you leave the horse behind?

لِكَيْ يُؤْنِسَ الْبَيْتَ، يَا وَلَدِي، فَالْبُيُوتُ تَمُوتُ إِذا غابَ سُكَّانُها.

To keep the house company, my son; houses die when their inhabitants leave.

أَبْدى الْفِدائِيُّونَ الْفِلَسْطِينِيُّونَ وَالْجَيْشُ الْأُرْدُنِيُّ بُطُولَةً نادِرَةً فِي مَعْرَكَةِ الْكَرامَةِ.

Palestinian fedayeen and the Jordanian army displayed rare heroism in the Battle of Karameh.

إِذْ أَلْحَقُوا بِجَيْشِ الِاحْتِلالِ الصِّهْيُونِيِّ خَسائِرَ فادِحَةً وَأَجْبَرُوهُ عَلى الِانْسِحابِ مُخَلِّفاً وَراءَهُ قَتْلى وَجَرْحى.

They inflicted heavy losses on the Zionist occupation army and forced it to retreat, leaving behind its dead and wounded.

قَصَفَتْ طائِراتُ جَيْشِ الِاحْتِلالِ الصِّهْيُونِيِّ الْغاشِمِ مُخَيَّماتِنا الْفِلَسْطِينِيَّةَ فِي لُبْنانَ.

The planes of the brutal Zionist occupation army bombed our Palestinian camps in Lebanon.
