Badr, Salma and Hudhudo are on the sand, and the sea is over there.

هٰذِهِ قَلْعَةُ رَمْلٍ صَغِيرَة، وَعَلَيْهَا صَدَفَة.
This is a small sand castle, with a shell on top.

هُنَاكَ مَوْجَةٌ كَبِيرَة!
Here comes a big wave!
Page 4
لَا قَلْعَة… هُنَا مَاءٌ وَرَمْل. وَالصَّدَفَة؟ فِي يَدِ سَلْمَى!
No castle… just water and sand. And the shell? In Salma's hand!

هُدْهُد: «تَعَالْ يَا بَدْر! تَعَالَيْ يَا سَلْمَى! هُنَا، تَحْتَ الشَّمْسِيَّة!»
Hudhudo: "Come, Badr! Come, Salma! Here, under the beach umbrella!"

قَلْعَةُ رَمْلٍ كَبِيرَةٌ تَحْتَ الشَّمْسِيَّة، وَفَوْقَهَا صَدَفَة!
A big sand castle under the umbrella, with the shell on top!
A tip for parents
Read the story twice with your child. The first time, just listen. The second time, stop at each picture and ask what they see. Then let your child read the last sentence along with you. Five minutes before bed is enough.
Did your child enjoy the story?
In Hudhudo your child learns Arabic from the very first letter, with games and stories to read and listen to. You follow their progress.
