The number
بيوتر يسكن في وارسو. عمره 45 سنة. يعمل في مكتب كبير في المدينة.
Piotr lives in Warsaw. He is forty-five. He works in a big office in the city.
كل صباح يذهب إلى العمل بالسيارة. يأخذ المصعد إلى الطابق الثامن. ويجلس إلى مكتبه طوال اليوم.
Every morning, he drives to work. He takes the lift to the eighth floor. He sits at his desk all day.
في المساء يرجع إلى البيت بالسيارة. يجلس على الأريكة ويشاهد التلفزيون.
In the evening, he drives home. He sits on the sofa and watches TV.
اليوم بيوتر ليس في العمل. هو عند الطبيبة.
Today, Piotr is not at work. He is at the doctor’s.
الطبيبة امرأة شابة ذات شعر قصير. تنظر إلى حاسوبها وقتا طويلا.
The doctor is a young woman with short hair. She looks at her computer for a long time.
تسأل: «سيد بيوتر، كم تمشي؟»
“Mr Piotr, how much do you walk?” she asks.
«أمشي؟ أمشي من سيارتي إلى مكتبي».
“Walk? I walk from my car to my desk.”
«وفي نهاية الأسبوع؟»
“And at the weekend?”
«في نهاية الأسبوع أمشي من أريكتي إلى مطبخي».
“At the weekend, I walk from my sofa to my kitchen.”
الطبيبة لا تضحك. «قلبك ليس سعيدا يا سيد بيوتر. قلبك يريد أن تمشي».
The doctor does not laugh. “Your heart is not happy, Mr Piotr. Your heart needs you to walk.”
«كم؟»
“How much?”
«عشرة آلاف خطوة. كل يوم».
“Ten thousand steps. Every day.”
ينظر بيوتر إليها. «عشرة آلاف؟ كل يوم؟ هذه مزحة».
Piotr looks at her. “Ten thousand? Every day? That is a joke.”
