الرهان
The bet
يسكن يوناس في برلين. عمره تسع وعشرون سنة. يعمل في محل هواتف.
Jonas lives in Berlin. He is twenty-nine. He works in a phone shop.
يوناس يحب المال. لكن المال لا يحب يوناس. يذهب بسرعة كبيرة.
Jonas likes money. But money does not like Jonas. It goes away very fast.
كل صباح يشتري قهوة بأربعة يورو. كل يوم في الغداء يشتري برغر. وكل مساء يشتري بيتزا من هاتفه.
Every morning, he buys a coffee for four euros. Every day at lunch, he buys a burger. Every evening, he buys a pizza on his phone.
وفي الليل يشتري أشياء من الإنترنت. جوارب عليها قطط. ومصباحا على شكل موزة.
And at night, he buys things on the internet. Socks with cats on them. A lamp in the shape of a banana.
ميا زميلته في السكن. غرفتها بجانب غرفته. المطبخ والحمام لهما معا.
Mia is his flatmate. She has the room next to his. The kitchen and the bathroom are for both of them.
صباح يوم الاثنين يوجد صندوق كبير عند الباب. تنظر ميا إليه.
On Monday morning, there is a big box at the door. Mia looks at it.
«يا يوناس! ما هذا؟»
“Jonas! What is this?”
يقول يوناس: «مصباح. إنه موزة».
“A lamp,” says Jonas. “It is a banana.”
«مصباح موزة؟»
“A banana lamp?”
«إنه جميل جدا. إنه أصفر».
“It is very nice. It is yellow.”
تفتح ميا الثلاجة. لا يوجد فيها شيء. فقط ليمونة قديمة جدا.
Mia opens the fridge. There is nothing in it. Only a very old lemon.
«يا يوناس، أين مالك؟ نحن في اليوم الخامس من الشهر. والثلاجة فارغة».
“Jonas, where is your money? It is the fifth of the month. And the fridge is empty.”
«مالي في قهوتي. وفي بيتزتي. وفي موزتي».
“My money is in my coffee. And in my pizza. And in my banana.”
