سالفة الفجرية وصحنة السيارة-اللهجة السعودية
استمع إلى القصة
ي صباح يوم الجمعة، والجو شاعري وفيه براد يرد الروح، قعد سلمان من النوم وهو مروّق على الآخر. طل من الدريشة وشاف الشارع هادي ومابه أحد، قال بنفسه: يا زينة الهدوء، اليوم يوم الفلة والطلعة! نزل سلمان للحوش ولقى أبوه قاعد على الدكة ويشرب فنجال قهوة. قال أبوه: تعال يا ولد قهوّك.. وش عندك قايمٍ بدري هالصبح؟ رد سلمان: والله يا بوي نويت أطلع للمزرعة مع العيال، بس الموتر عيّى يشتغل، والظاهر إني بتاهق مع البطارية! قال أبوه: قم نشوف وش بلاها، الظاهر إنك ناسٍ النور شغال ومصفّقة البطارية.. تبي لها اشتراك وتضبط. نزل سلمان وفتح كبوت السيارة وهو يتعيّز. في هاللحظة، طلع جارهم أبو فهد وشفهم واقفين عند الموتر، وصاح بـ فزعة: صباح الخير! وش عندكم ملتمين؟ أبشر بالعدو، ادنِ موتري وخذ الاشتراك! قربوا السيارات وشبكوا السلك، وما هي إلا ثواني إلا وصوت المحرك يطرب الأذن واشتغلت السيارة! ابتسم سلمان وقال: بيض الله وجهك يا عمي، عز الله إنك ما قصرت! رد أبو فهد: وجهك أبيض يا ولد، هذا حق الجيرة.. ودربك خضر!
The Early Morning Story and the Car Battery" On a Friday morning, with the weather crisp and soul-reviving, Salman woke up in a great, relaxed mood. He looked out the window and saw the street quiet and empty, and said to himself, *"How lovely the quiet is; today is a day for relaxation and a trip!"* Salman went out to the courtyard and found his father sitting on the traditional stone bench (**Al-Dikka**), strengthening himself with Saudi coffee and dates. His father handed him the cup and said, *"Come on, son, have some coffee and calm down... What has you up so early this morning?"* Salman replied with a smile, *"Well, dad, I woke up relaxed and wanted to go out to the farm with the guys, but the car refused to start. I think I'm going to struggle with the battery!"* His father shook his head and said, *"You probably left the recorder on yesterday or left the headlights running... Let's go see what's wrong with it; it probably needs a jump-start to fix it."* Salman walked over, moving sluggishly, and opened the car hood. At that moment, their neighbor **Abu Fahad** stepped out of his house and saw them standing by the car. Abu Fahad called out loudly with a laugh, *"Good morning! What are you guys gathered around this car for? Is everything alright?"* Salman replied, *"Honestly, uncle, the car is completely dead and won't start, and it looks like the battery has given up!"* Abu Fahad rushed over with an immediate show of support (**Faz'ah**): *"Pلish the enemy! Bring your car close and take my jumper cables; you're not going to walk or be late for your folks!"* They connected the cables, and within seconds, the engine roared to life and started! Salman smiled and said, *"May God whiten your face, uncle, by God you didn't fall short!"* Abu Fahad replied, *"Your face is white, my son, this is the duty of neighbors... May your path be green!"*
