He used to look after the cows with her.

فِي أَحَدِ الأَيَّامِ جَاءَ اَلجُنودُ.

One day the soldiers came.

وَأَخَذُوا اَلبَقَرَ بَعِيداً.

They took the cows away.

Tingi and his grandmother ran away and hid.

Tingi y su abuela huyeron para esconderse.


وَاخْتَبَؤُا بيْنَ اَلشُّجَيْرَاتِ حَتَّى اللَّيْلِ.

They hid in the bush until night.

وَضَعَ أَحَدُ اَلجُنُودِ قَدَمَهُ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ، لَكِنَّهُ بَقِيَ هَادِئاً.

One of the soldiers put his foot right on him, but he kept quiet.

Uno de los soldados puso su pie directamente sobre él, pero Tingi se quedó en silencio.


عِندَمَا صَارَ اَلمَكَانُ آمِناً، خَرَجَ تِينْغِي وجَدَّتَهُ.

When it was safe, Tingi and his grandmother came out.

وَتَسَلَّلَا إِلَى بَيْتِهِمَا بِبُطْئٍ.
