كانَ ذاتَ مَرَّةٍ رَجُلٌ إسـْمُهُ عـَلـِيٌ Once upon a time there was a man by the name of Ali. مـَطـْبـَخُهُ كانَ بـِهِ فـُرْنٌ وَمَيـْكـْرويف وَثـَلـّاجـَةٌ His kitchen had a stove, a microwave, and a fridge. عـَلـِيٌ لـَم يـَعـُدْ يـَسـْتـَعـْمـِلْ اَلـْفـُرْنَ اَلـّذي لـَدَيْهِ Ali has stopped using his stove. فـُرْنـُهُ كانَ بـَطيئـاً جـِداً His stove was too slow. وَعـَلـِيٌ لـَم يـَعـُدْ يـَسـْتـَعـْمـِلْ ثـَلاّجـَتـَهُ And Ali has stopped using his fridge. ثـَلاّجـَتـُهُ كانَتْ خاوِيَة ً His fridge was empty. لـَكِنْ عـَلـِيٌ كانَ يـُحـِبّْ اَلـْمَيـْكـْرويفْ اَلـّذي لـَدَيْهِ But Ali liked his microwave. اَلـْمَيـْكـْرويفْ اَلـّذي لـَدَيْهِ  كانَ أحـْدَثَ طـِراز ٍ His microwave was the latest model. اَلـْمَيـْكـْرويفْ  كانَ  يـُمـْكـِنـُهُ  أنْ  يـَقـْليِ بـَيْضَ إفـْطارِهِ في اَلـصـّباح ِ The microwave could fry his breakfast eggs in the morning. أنْ يُسـَخـِّنَ اَلدُّجاجَةَ اَلـْمـَطـْبوخـَة َ ُلـَديْهِ  بـَعْدَ اَلظـُّهـْرِ Heat his pre-cooked chicken in the afternoon. وَحَتـّى أنْ يـُثـَلـِّجَ سـَريعاً اَلـتـَّحـْلـِيَة َ اَلـّتي لـَدَيْهِ في اَلـْمـَساء! And even quick freeze his dessert at night! اَلـْمَيـْكـْرويفْ  اَلـّذي  لـَدَيْهِ أصـْبـَحَ  اَلشـّيْءَ  اَلـْوَحيدَ اَلـّذي يـَحـْتاجـُهُ  في  مـَطـْبـَخـِهِ His microwave became the only thing he needed in his kitchen. بـَعـْدَ وَقـْتٍ  قـَليلٍ، اَلـْجـَميعُ، وَلـَيْسَ عـَلـِيٌ فـَقـَطْ، بـَدَأوا يـَسـْتـَعـْمِلون  فـَقـَطْ اَلـْمَيـْكـْرويفْ اَلـّذي لـَدَيـْهُمْ Soon, everyone, not just Ali, started to only use their microwaves. عـَلـِيٌ تـَخـَلـَّصَ مـِنْ اَلـْفـُرْنِ  وَاَلثـّلاّجـَةِ  الـلّذانِ  لـَدَيْه Ali got rid of his stove and his fridge. اَلـْجـِهازُ اَلـْوَحيدُ اَلـّذي كانَ يـَحْتاجُهُ الآنَ كانَ هُوَ مـَيْكـْرويـف أحـْدَثُ طـِراز ٍ The only appliance he needed now was the latest microwave model.
