Curly is an old man and is the owner of a laundry store.

مَحَلُّهُ اَلْوَحيدُ الْذي يُنَظِّفُ الْمَلابِسَ في هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ
His store is the only one that cleans cloths in this village.

كُرْلي تَعَلَّمَ كَيْفَ يُنَظِّفُ الْملابِسَ مِن والِدِهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ
Curly learnt how to clean cloths from his father may he rest in peace.

كُلُّ يَوْمٍ وَهُوَ صَغيرٌ كانَ يَجْلِسُ بِجانِبِ أبيهِ وَ يُتابِعُهُ وَهُوَ يَعْمَلُ
Everyday when he was little he would sit next to his father and watch him while he works.

كُرْلي تَعَلَّمَ كَثيراً عَنْ سِرِّ تَنْظيفِ الْملابِسَ
Curly learnt a lot about the secret of the cleaning of cloths.

اَلـْيـَوْمَ  اَلسُّكاّنُ في الْقَرْيَةِ يَثِقونَ في كُرْلي
Today, the residents of the village trust Curly.

اَلسُّكّانُ لَمْ يُجَرِّبوا أبَداً مَحَلَّ تَنْظيفٍ غَيْرَ مَحَلِّ

كُرْلي وَوالِدِهِ

The residents have never tried a laundry except for that belonging to Curly and his father.

كُلُّ يَوْمٍ كُرْلي مَشْغولٌ مِن اَلسّاعَةِ السّادِسَةِ صَباحاً

إلىَ
السّاعَةِ الثّامِنَةِ مَساءً

Everyday Curly is busy from six in the morning to eight in the evening.

كُرْلي عِنْدَهُ زَبائنٌ كَثيرَةٌ
Curly has a lot of customers.

اَلزَّبائنُ سُعَداء بِكُرْلي لِأنَّه لا يُرْجِعُ أبَداً مَلابِسَ بِبُقَعٍ
The customers are happy with Curly because he never returns cloths with spots.

إذا الْبٌقْعَةُ لَمْ تَطْلَعْ فَهُوَ يطْلُبُ الزُّبونَ وَيَقولُ لَهُ: سَنَحْتاجُ

لِعَمَلِ
واحِد "سوبِر" اَلْيَوْمَ إنْ أرَدْتَ
If the spot does not come out he calls the customer to tell him: we will need to do a "super" today if you like.

الزُّبونُ دائماً يُوافِقُ وَهُوَ سَعيدٌ
Always the customer agrees happily.

اِل"سوبِر" عِبارَةُ عَن رَشٍ بِالْبويَةِ عَلىَ الْمَلابِسَ بِألْوانٍ

مُخْتَلِفَةٍ

The "super" consists of the splattering of paint on the cloths with a lot of colors.

كُرْلي وَمَحَلـُّهُ مَشْهورانِ في الْقَرْيَةِ بِفُرْشَةِ الْبويَة وَرَميِ الْبويَةِ

عَلىَ
الْمَلابِسَ

Curly and his store are famous in the village for the paint brush and the throwing of the paint on the cloths.

اَلنَّتيجَةُ مَلابسُ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ تَماماَ عَنْ أيِ مَلابِسَ في الْبَلَدِ

بِأكْمَلِها
The result is cloths that looks not like any cloths in the entire country.
