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.

The next morning, Noura stood before her classmates wearing a green dress and said, 'I am a blessed tree mentioned in the Holy Quran. The Messenger—peace be upon him—encouraged planting me 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.
