Story

Ella Counts by Tens

  1. It is bedtime.

    حان وقت النوم.

  2. Ella has a small box of number cards.

    لدى إيلا صندوق صغير من بطاقات الأرقام.

  3. She smiles and says, "I want to count by tens tonight."

    تبتسم وتقول: «أريد أن أعد بالعشرات الليلة.»

  4. Mom Anna sits with her on the rug by the bed.

    الأم آنا تجلس معها على السجادة بجانب السرير.

  5. There are ten blue cards and ten red cards.

    هناك عشر بطاقات زرقاء وعشر بطاقات حمراء.

  6. Ella lays them in a line and says, "10, 20, 30, 40."

    ترتبها إيلا في صف وتقول: «10، 20، 30، 40.»

  7. A card slips, and Ella is not sure of the next number.

    انزلقت بطاقة، وإيلا ليست متأكدة من الرقم التالي.

  8. "Do we stop?" she asks.

    تسأل: «هل نتوقف؟»

  9. "No, we don't," Mom says with a smile.

    تقول الأم بابتسامة: «لا، نحن لا نفعل ذلك.»

  10. Anna makes two neat rows of ten and nods.

    آنا تصنع صفين مرتبين من عشرة وتومئ.

  11. Together, they point to each card and count, "50, 60, 70, 80."

    معًا يشيرون إلى كل بطاقة ويعدّون: «٥٠، ٦٠، ٧٠، ٨٠.»

  12. Then they say, "90, 100," and they clap softly.

    ثم يقولون: «90، 100»، ويصفقون برفق.

  13. Ella yawns and whispers, "Now the tens are my friends," and she rests.

    إيلا تتثاءب وتهمس: «الآن العشرات أصدقائي»، ثم تستريح.
