كان يوجَدُ ذاتَ مَرّةٍ رَجُلٌ اِسْمُهُ عِرْفانُ وَكانَ

مِن زَمَنٍ قَد وَقَعَ مِن سَفينَةٍ
Once there was someone called Arfaan who long ago fell off from a ship.

اَلسَّفينَةُ كانَت في سَفـَرِيَّةٍ طَويلَةٍ وَالْجَوُّ كانَ رَديءً جِداً
The ship was on a long trip and the weather was really bad.

كانَ هُناكَ رَعْدٌ وَمَطَرٌ
There was thunder and rain.

السَّفينَةُ كانَتْ كَبيرَةً لَكِنَّها كانَتْ  تَنْقـَلـِبُ كَثيراً

مِن اليَسارِ إلىَ الْيَمينِ
The ship was large but it flipped a lot from left to right.

عَرْفانُ كانَ عَلىَ سَطْحِ السَّفينَةِ وَوَقَعَ في الْبَحْرِ
Arfaan was on the deck of the ship and he fell into the ocean.

عَرْفانُ رَأىَ جَزيرَةً صَغيرَةً وَسَبَحَ إلَيْها
Arfaan saw a small Island and swam to it.

اَلْجَزيرَةُ كانَت تَتَكَوَّنُ مِنْ رِمالٍ وَشَجَرَةٍ فَقَطْ
The Island only consisted of sand and a tree.

كُلَّ يَوْمٍ عَرْفانُ كانَ يأكُلُ سَمَكاً مِن الْبَحْرِ وَتُفّاحاً مِنْ الشَّجَرَةِ
Every day Arfan was eating fish from the ocean and apples from the tree.

في يَوْمٍ بَعْدَ سَنَواتٍ طَويلَةٍ رَأىَ رَجُلاً في مَرْكِبَةٍ

 يُحْضِرُ لَهُ بيتْزا
One day after many years he saw someone on a boat bringing pizza to him.

عَرْفانُ: ما هَذا؟
Arfan - what is this?

اَلرَّجُلُ: هَذِهِ بيتْزا "عادِيَةٌ "
The man - This is a regular pizza.

عَرْفانُ: أنا لَمْ أطْلُبْ بيتْزا "عادِيَةٌ ". أيْنَ

ألبَسْطِرْمَةُ؟ اَرْجِعْها يا رَجُلُ

Arfan - I didn't order a regular pizza. Where is the pastrami? My man, return it!

بَعْدَ أنْ ذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ، عَرْفانُ أكَلَ سَمَكَةً وَجَلَسَ

يُفَكِّرُ كَيْفَ سَوْفَ يَسْتَطيعُ اَلْعَوْدَةَ لِعائلَتِهِ وَيَتْرُكُ

الْجَزيرَةَ
