I am Majed. I love our small house, our small house’s garden, and I love my mother very much. I love playing. I love my beautiful cat Bisseh. I love my friends, and I love my father very much. My father is a skilled engineer. He has pens, rulers, a lot of paper, and a large desk. When he holds the pen and starts drawing, I say to him: Father, come play with me!
Busy, my dear son: My father says to me: I’m busy, my dear son. After he finishes work, I return to him again and say to him: Father, father, come play with me! My father says to me with all love: Not now, my dear son. I’m tired. When evening comes and he sits for dinner, I say to him: Father, father, come play with me! He says: Not now, I’m hungry!
Tomorrow we’ll play together: After he eats, I approach him and say to him: Father, come play with me? My father says to me: Not now, I’m sleepy! He sleeps in the bed and starts snoring. I shake my father and say to him: Father, father, father, come play with me! He answers me while asleep and sleepy, saying to me: Tomorrow we’ll play together, you naughty little one.
Sleepiness, playing, and drawing: One day I found my father writing, and he fell asleep while writing at the desk. I took the pen and started drawing. I drew a house for him with flowers around it. I drew trees and birds above them. I colored them with red, yellow, and green.
Come play with me: When my father woke up from his nap, he screamed and shouted at me. I laughed and ran and ran. My father ran behind me. To the chair I jumped, and my father jumped with me. Under it I passed, and my father passed with me. To the bed I ran, and my father ran with me. Over it I jumped, and my father jumped with me. When I sat down, I was very tired from all the running. My father said to me: Come let’s play together! I said: Not now, I’m tired! I slept in the bed and started snoring. My father shook me and said to me, just as I always used to say to him: Come play with me. I answered while sleepy: Tomorrow we’ll play together!
