فِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي وَقَفَتْ نُورَةُ أَمَامَ زَمِيلَاتِهَا، وَهِيَ تَلْبَسُ ثَوْبًا أَخْضَرَ، وَقَالَتْ: أَنَا شَجَرَةٌ مُبَارَكَةٌ ذُكِرَ اسْمِي فِي الْقُرْآنِ الْكَرِيمِ، وَأَوْصَى الرَّسُولُ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِغَرْسِي، وَأَكْلِ ثَمَرِي.

(from previous page) ⟵ On the morning of the next day, Noura stood in front of her colleagues, wearing a green dress, and said: "I am a blessed tree whose name is mentioned in the Holy Quran, and the Messenger - may God's prayers and peace be upon him - recommended my planting and eating my fruit."

مَنْظَرِي جَمِيلٌ، رَأْسِي يَعْلُوهُ تَاجٌ مِنَ السَّعَفِ الْأَخْضَرِ، وَجِذْعِي سَمِيكٌ، تَشُدُّنِي إِلَى الْأَرْضِ جُذُورٌ مُمْتَدَّةٌ قَوِيَّةٌ.

I am beautiful to look at, with a crown of green fronds atop my head, a thick trunk, and strong, deep roots anchoring me to the earth.

اِسْتَخْدَمَ الْإِنْسَانُ قَدِيمًا جِذْعِي فِي الْبِنَاءِ وَصِنَاعَةِ الْقَوَارِبِ، كَمَا اِسْتَخْدَمَ سَعَفِي فِي صِنَاعَةِ السِّلَالِ.

In the past, people used my trunk for building and boat-making, and they used my fronds to weave baskets.
