مَاذَا فَعَلَ الطَّائِرُ عِنْدَمَا رَأَى الفَرَاشَةَ تَتَنَقَّلُ بَيْنَ الأَزْهَارِ؟

1- What did the bird do when it saw the butterfly moving between the flowers?

رَاقَبَهَا دُونَ تَوَقُّفٍ.

It watched her without stopping.

نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا بِاسْتِهْزَاءٍ.

It looked at her with mockery.

طَارَ بَعِيدًا وَتَرَكَهَا.

It flew away and left her.

ضَحِكَ عَلَيْهَا بِلَا انْقِطَاعٍ.

It laughed at her incessantly.

مَا الشُّعُورُ الَّذِي سَيْطَرَ عَلَى الفَرَاشَةِ بَعْدَ حَدِيثِهَا مَعَ الطَّائِرِ؟

1- Read the story aloud, paying attention to expressing the meaning.

اقْرَأِ الفِقْرَةَ الآتِيَةَ أَمَامَ زُمَلَائِكَ قِرَاءَةً صَحِيحَةً مَعَ التَّرْكِيزِ عَلَى الكَلِمَاتِ المُلَوَّنَةِ مُدَّةً زَمَنِيَّةً أَطْوَلَ عِنْدَ النُّطْقِ بِهَا، مِثْلَ: (الفَرَاشَاتُ المُلَوَّنَةُ الجَمِيلُ)؛ لِتُمَيِّزَ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ نُطْقِ الفَتْحَةِ وَالكَسْرَةِ وَالضَّمَّةِ، كَمَا فِي الكَلِمَاتِ (عَنْ، كُلُّ، بِهَا، زَهْرَةٍ).

2- Read the following paragraph in front of your classmates correctly, focusing on the colored words for a longer duration when pronouncing them, such as: (the colorful butterflies, the beautiful); to distinguish between them and the pronunciation of the fatha, kasra, and damma, as in the words (about, every, with it, a flower).

تَعَجَّبَتِ الفَرَاشَاتُ الَّتِي حَوْلَهَا وَقَالَتْ: كَيْفَ لِلْفَرَاشَةِ المِسْكِينَةِ أَنْ تَأْسَى عَلَى غِيَابِ زَهْرَةٍ وَحِيدَةٍ عَنْ حَدِيقَتِهَا، وَتَنْسَى كُلَّ الوَرْدِ الجَمِيلِ الَّذِي تَمْتَلِئُ بِهِ الحَدِيقَةُ، حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَتْ زَهْرَةَ نَرْجِسٍ!

The butterflies around her were astonished and said: How can the poor butterfly grieve over the absence of a single flower from her garden, and forget all the beautiful roses that fill the garden, even if it were a narcissus flower!
