Look inside

The first pages — with Mahra as the hero

في الثاني من ديسمبر، علّقت مهرة علمًا كبيرًا على الشرفة. رفرف الأحمر والأخضر والأبيض والأسود مع النسيم. وتساءلت مهرة: «أيُّ لون هو الأجمل؟»

On the second of December, Mahra hung a big flag on the balcony. Red, green, white and black flapped in the breeze. “Which colour is the best?” Mahra wondered.

في الشارع، مرّت السيارات في موكب بطيء فرِح، تغطّيها الأعلام والأشرطة. بيب بيب! لوّحت مهرة بيديها حتى تعبتا.

Down in the street, cars rolled by in a slow, happy parade, covered in flags and ribbons. Beep-beep! Mahra waved both hands until they tingled.
