Andiswa watched the boys play soccer. She wished that she could join them. She asked the coach if she can practise with them.
شَاهَدَتْ أَنْدِيسُوا الصِّبْيَةَ يَلْعَبُونَ كُرَةَ اَلقَدَمِ.
كَانَتْ تَتَمَنَّى لَوْ أَنَّهَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَنْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِمْ.
فَسَأَلَتْ اَلمُدَرِّبَ إنْ كَانَتْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تتَدَرَّبَ مَعَهُمْ.
The coach put his hands on his hips. “At this school, only boys are allowed to play soccer,” he said.
أَجَابَهَا المُدَرِّبُ: “في هَذِهِ اَلمَدْرَسَةِ لَا يُسْمَحُ إِلَّا لِلْصِّبْيَةِ أَنْ يَلْعَبُوا كُرَةَ اَلقَدَمِ”.
The boys told her to go play netball. They said that netball is for girls and soccer is for boys. Andiswa was upset.
قَالَ اَلصِّبْيَةُ لَهَا: “اِلْعَبِي كُرَةَ الشَّبَكَةِ. كُرَةُ الشَّبَكَةِ لِلْبَنَاتِ، وكُرَةُ اَلقَدَمِ لِلْصِّبْيَانِ”.
The next day, the school had a big soccer match. The coach was worried because his best player was sick and could not play.
فِي اليَوْم اَلتَّالي أُقِيمَتْ فِي اَلْمَدْرَسَةِ مُبَارَاةٌ كَبيرةٌ لِكُرَةِ اَلْقَدَمِ.
كَانَ اَلْمُدَرِّبُ قَلِقاً، لِأَنَّ أَفْضَلَ لَاعِبٍ عِنْدَهُ كَانَ مَريضاً، وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ اَللَّعِبَ.
Andiswa ran to the coach and begged him to let her to play. The coach was not sure what to do. Then he decided that Andiswa could join the team.
رَكَضَت أَنْدِيسُوا وَتَرَجَّتْهُ أَنْ يَدَعَهَا تَلْعَبُ.
لَمْ يَكُنِ اَلْمُدَرِّبُ وَاثِقاً مِمَّا عَلَيْهِ فِعْلَهُ.
بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَرَّرَ أَنْ يَسْمَحَ لَهَا بِاَلاِنْضِمَامِ إِلَى اَلْفَريقِ.
The game was tough. Nobody had scored a goal by half time.
كَانَتْ المُبَارَاةُ صَعْبَةً جِدًّا.
أَصْبَحَتْ فِي مُنْتَصَفِهَا، وَلَمْ يُسَجَّلْ أَيُّ هَدَفٍ.
During the second half of the match one of the boys passed the ball to Andiswa. She moved very fast towards the goal post. She kicked the ball hard and scored a goal.
فِي اَلْنِّصْفِ الثَّانِي مِنَ المُبَارَاةِ، مَرَّرَ أَحَدُ اَلْصِّبْيَةِ اَلْكُرَةَ إِلَى أَنْدِيسُوا.
تَحَرَّكَتْ بِسُرْعَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ بِاتِّجَاهِ اَلْمَرمَى.
ثُمَّ رَكَلَتْ اَلْكُرَةَ بِقُوَّةٍ وسَجَّلَتْ هَدَفاً.
The crowd went wild with joy. Since that day, girls were also allowed to play soccer at the school.
وَمُنْذُ ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمِ سَمَحَتْ اَلْجَمَاهِيرُ لِلفَتَيَاتِ بِلَعِبِ كُرَةِ القَدَمِ فِي اَلْمَدْرَسَةِ.
