28 May 2018 – Planet Miranda

اريد ان اعرفك على كوكب ميراندة. هو كوكب صغير و جميل. فته قارتيب اسمهما ضوء الشمس و المطر. َضوء الشمس فته جبل صغير و كثير من السهول مع ورود جميلة. الانهار واضحة و الشواطئ مشرقة. الجو معتدل كل اليوم و مشمس في المعظم الايام. احياناً توجد العواصف قصيرة ولكن هي ليست شديدة عاصة. انا سكنت في هذه القرة.

اسكن الان في قارة المطر. فيها توجد جبال كبيرة و انهار مستعرة و صحارى كثيرة. الجو متفري جداً. أحياناً يوجد مطر و ثلج و  احياناً توجد ضوء الشمس قوي. في نفس اليوم ليس من الممكن لباس لالجو. لم اطلب السكن هنا. انا حببت قارة ضوء الشمس. كان عندي كثير من خطط. انا بنيت بيتي الصلامي هناك. ولكن مفتاحي لايصلح الان.

 قارة مطر فيها مطر و فيها ايضاً شمس و ثلج. و الشمس اجمل بسبب الجو الاخر. كل شئ في قارة المطر اجمل بسبب الاشياء الصعب. وهذا مهم بسبب انا استطيع اسكن فقط في هذه القارة. لا توجد سفن. هم محظورة.

I would like to introduce you to Planet Miranda. It is a small and beautiful planet. There are two continents, Sunshine and Rain. Sunshine has a small mountain and many plains with beautiful flowers. The rivers are clear and the beaches are bright. The weather is moderate every day and sunny most days. Sometimes there are small storms but they are not severe. I used to live on this continent.

Now I live on the continent of Rain. There are big mountains and raging rivers and many deserts. The weather is variable. Sometimes there is rain and snow, and sometimes there is strong sunshine. On some days it’s not possible to dress for the weather. I didn’t ask to live here. I loved Sunshine. I had so many plans. I built my peaceful house there. But my key doesn’t fit.

Rain has rain and also sun and snow. And the sun is more beautiful because of the other weather. Everything in Rain is more beautiful because of the hard things. And this is important because I’m only able to live on this continent. There are no ships. They are forbidden.
