Jack’s Name Cards

  1. Jack sits on his soft pillow in his bedroom at night.

    يجلس جاك على وسادته الناعمة في غرفته في الليل.

  2. He smiles and says, "I want to make name cards."

    يبتسم ويقول: «أريد أن أصنع بطاقات أسماء.»

  3. Mum Emma nods and says, "This is a nice plan."

    توميء الأم إيما برأسها وتقول: «هذه خطة جيدة.»

  4. On the blanket, there are three name cards and a pen.

    على البطانية، هناك ثلاث بطاقات أسماء وقلم.

  5. The names on the cards are Tom, Dan, and Sam.

    الأسماء على البطاقات هي توم ودان وسام.

  6. Jack whispers, "I like these names."

    يهمس جاك: «أحب هذه الأسماء.»

  7. He looks at the cards and at his toys on the bed.

    ينظر إلى البطاقات وإلى لعبه على السرير.

  8. He says softly, "This is for my wall."

    يقول بهدوء: «هذا لجدارتي.»

  9. But he is not sure which name goes where, and he feels a little stuck.

    لكنه ليس متأكدًا أي اسم يذهب أين، ويشعر ببعض الحيرة.

  10. Emma sits beside him and says, "Put a small picture by each name, and you will remember."

    تجلس إيما بجانبه وتقول: «ضع صورة صغيرة بجانب كل اسم وستتذكر.»

  11. Jack draws a ball by Tom, a kite by Dan, and a star by Sam.

    يرسم جاك كرة بجانب توم وطائرة ورقية بجانب دان ونجمًا بجانب سام.

  12. The pictures help him see a place for each card.

    الصور تساعده على رؤية مكان لكل بطاقة.

  13. He hangs the poster above the bed and smiles.

    يعلّق الملصق فوق السرير ويبتسم.

  14. He reads, "Tom, Dan, Sam," in order and feels calm.

    يقرأ: «توم، دان، سام» بالترتيب ويشعر بالهدوء.

  15. Mum Emma whispers, "Good night, Jack," and he closes his eyes.

    تهمس الأم إيما: «تصبح على خير يا جاك»، فيغلق عينيه.
