بَرَم ضَهرو ونسي أصله-اللهجة اللبنانية
استمع إلى القصة
بضيعة من ضياع الشوف، كان "أبو الياس" زلمي شقيان وتعبان طول عمره تى ربّى ابنه الوحيد "سامر" وبعته عالبيروت تى يتعلم ويصير دكتور قد الدنيا. بس للأسف، سامر من أول ما مشي حاله ببيروت، وتعرّف عناس جديدة، بَرَم ضَهرو عن بيّو وناسه، ونسي تعب الزلمي اللي كان عم يشق القسا تى يؤمن لقطة علمه. صار كل ما يرجع عالعطلة عا ضيعته، يحكي بتفلسف ويتطلع عالعالم بفوقية، وحتى رفقاته القدامى بَرَم ضَهرو بوجههن وصار يستحي يسلم عليهن بالسكة. ضل بيّو أبو الياس يبعتله مصاري ويداريه، وسامر لاهي بسهراته ومظاهره. وبليلة من الليالي، وقع سامر بمشكلة كبيرة مع شيطانة من شياطين الشغل، نصبوا عليه وسرقوا منه كل المصاري اللي كانت معيته لمشروع تخرجه، ولما ضاقت فيه الوساع وراح يدق أبواب رفقاته الجدد اللي كان يتباها فيهن، الكل بَرَم ضَهرو عنه وصاروا يتفادوا حتى يحكوا معه بالتليفون! طارت الدبّة براس سامر، وما لقى قدامه مفر غير يرجع عبيت بيّو، مكسور الخاطر وخجلان من حاله. دق الباب، وفتحلو بيّو بعيونو المليانين حنية، وضمّه لصدره ولا كأنو صار شي، وقال له بكل هدوء: "يا بْني، الإنسان بلا أصل مثل شجرة بلا جذور، أول هبة هوا بتجرفها. رفقات المصالح بيبرموا ضهرهن بوقت الشدة، بس بيتك وناسك هنّي الوحيدين اللي بيفتحوا لك قلوبهن قبل بيبانهم." ندم سامر ندماً عميقاً، ورجع نزل راسه واشتغل مع بيّو بالأرض، وعرف تماماً إنو "اللي بيبرم ضهره عن أصله، خسر حاله بالأول والاخير".
Turned His Back and Forgot His Origin In a village among the Chouf mountains, "Abu Elias" was a hardworking man who spent his entire life toiling and struggling to raise his only son, "Samr," and send him to Beirut to study and become a doctor. Unfortunately, as soon as Samr settled into life in Beirut and made new friends, he turned his back on his father and his people, forgetting the sweat and hardship of the man who scraped by to pay for his education. Every time he returned to the village for the holidays, he spoke with condescension and looked down on everyone. He even turned his back on his old friends, acting too proud to greet them on the street. Abu Elias kept sending him money and looking after him, while Samr was busy with his late-night outings and showing off. One night, Samr got into a major trouble with some shady business characters who scammed him and stole all the money he had saved for his graduation project. When things got tight and he turned to his new, superficial friends for help, they all turned their backs on him and even avoided answering his phone calls! Shocked and humbled, Samr had no choice but to return to his father's house, heartbroken and ashamed. He knocked on the door, and his father opened it, his eyes full of tenderness. He pulled Samr into his arms as if nothing had happened, and said to him calmly: "My son, a human being without roots is like a tree without them; the first gust of wind will uproot them. Fair-weather friends turn their backs when times get tough, but your home and your people are the only ones who open their hearts before their doors." Samr felt deep remorse. He went back, lowered his head, and started working the land with his father, realizing fully that: "Whoever turns their back on their origin, loses themselves in the end."
