المَاعِزُ والكَلْبُ والبَقَرَةُ كَانُوا أَصْدِقاءَ جِدًّا. في أَحَدِ الأَيَّام ذَهَبُوا فِي رِحْلَةٍ بِسَيَّارةِ أُجْرَةٍ.

Kabri, Lisien, ek Vas ti bann extra bon kamarad. Enn zour, zot ti fer enn vwayaz dan taxi.

Chèvre, Chien et Vache étaient de très bons amis. Un jour ils firent un voyage en taxi.

Goat, Dog, and Cow were great friends. One day they went on a journey in a taxi.


عِنْدَمَا وَصَلُوا إِلَى نِهايَةِ الرِّحْلَةِ، طَلَبَ مِنْهُمْ السائِقُ أُجْرَةَ رِحْلَتِهِمْ. دَفَعَتْ البَقَرَةُ مَا عَلَيْهَا.

Kan zot finn ariv lafin zot destination, sofer-la finn dir zot peye. Vas finn pey so traze.

Quand ils atteignirent la fin de leur voyage, le chauffeur leur demanda de payer leurs tarifs. Vache paya son tarif.

When they reached the end of their journey, the driver asked them to pay their fares. Cow paid her fare.


دَفَعَ الكَلْبُ زِيَادَةً، لأِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ المَبْلَغَ المَطْلُوبَ.

Lisien finn pey inpe anplis akoz li pa ti ena kas sanze.

Chien paya un petit peu plus parce qu’il n’avait pas la monnaie exacte.

Dog paid a bit extra, because he did not have the correct money.


بَيْنَمَا كَانَ السَّائِقُ يُعْطِي الكَلْبَ بَاقِيَ النُقودَ، هَرَبَتْ المَاعِزُ بَعيداً.

Sofer-la ti pe al donn lisien so kas kan kabri inn ale san peye.

Le chauffeur était prêt à donner Chien sa monnaie quand Chèvre est partie sans payer du tout.

The driver was about to give Dog his change when Goat ran away without paying anything.


غَضِبَ السَّائِقُ جِدّاً فَتَرَكَهُمْ وَرَحَلَ بِسَيَّارَتِهِ دُونَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ الكَلْبَ بَاقِيَ نُقُودِهِ.

Sofer-la ti bien ankoler. Li’nn ale san retourn Lisien so kas.

Le chauffeur était très contrarié. Il partit sans donner Chien sa monnaie.

The driver was very annoyed. He drove away without giving Dog his change.


لِهَذا السَّبَبِ يَرْكُضُ الكَلْبُ حَتَّى اليَوْمِ، أَمَامَ كُلِّ سيَّارَةٍ، وَيَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا نَظْرَةً سَريعةً. لِلْبَحْثِ عَنْ السَّائِقِ الذِي أَخَذَ بَاقِيَ النُّقُودِ.

Akoz samem azordi, Lisien galoup deryer loto pou louk andan e rod sofer ki ti dwa li kas la.

Voilà pourquoi, même aujourd’hui, Chien court vers une voiture pour jeter un coup d’œil à l’intérieur et trouver le chauffeur qui lui doit sa monnaie.

That is why, even today, Dog runs towards a car to peep inside and find the driver who owes him his change.


أَمَّا المَاعِزُ فَقَدْ كانَتْ تَهْرُبُ عِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ أَيِّ سَيَّارَةٍ. فَهْيَ تَخَافُ أَنْ يُقْبَضَ عَلَيْهَا لِأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَدْفَعْ مَا عَلَيْهَا مِنَ النُقودِ.

Kabri sove kan li tann loto pase. Li gagn per ki aret li parski li pa’nn pey so traze.

Chèvre fuit le son d’une voiture. Elle a peur qu’elle soit arrêtée pour ne pas avoir payé son tarif.

Goat runs away from the sound of a car. She is afraid she will be arrested for not paying her fare.


أَمَّا البَقَرَةُ فَهْيَ لَا تَهْتَمُّ عِنْدَمَا تَأْتِي أَيُّ سَيَّارَةٍ. وَتَأْخُذُ كُلَّ وَقْتِهَا بِعُبُورِ الشَّارِعَ لِأَنَّها تَعْرِفُ أَنَّهَا دَفَعَتْ كُلَّ مَا عَلَيْهَا كَامِلاً.

Ek Vas pa ti pe pran kont kan loto vini. Vas pran so letan pou travers sime parski li kone li’nn pey so traze net.

Et Vache n’est pas gênée quand une voiture arrive. Vache prend son temps pour traverser la rue parce qu’elle sait qu’elle a payé son tarif en intégralité.

And Cow is not bothered when a car is coming. Cow takes her time crossing the road because she knows she paid her fare in full.
