Look inside

The first pages — with Saif as the hero

عندما صارت الأمسيات باردة، خرجت العائلة كلها إلى الصحراء للتخييم. وكانت لدى سيف خطة كبيرة: «الليلة سأبقى مستيقظًا طوال الليل!»

When the evenings turned cool, the whole family drove into the desert to camp. Saif had a big plan: “Tonight, I’m going to stay awake ALL night long!”

خلع سيف صندله، وركض إلى أعلى كثيب. كان الرمل ناعمًا كالطحين وباردًا، ثم تدحرج حتى الأسفل. وييييي!

Off came the sandals! Saif raced up the tallest dune, where the sand was soft as flour and already cool, then rolled all the way down. Wheee!
