The Tale of LiveDoG (9)

  

(Trilingual (English/Arabic/Japanese) version)

 

LiveDoG smiled calmly whenever he looked down.

But if the boy turned to the officer, LiveDoG barked again.

The boy was unaware that he himself had the same look as the officer.

The chilly wind in early spring blew down from the upstream.

 



حكاية LiveDoG (9)

 

 

(Trilingual (English/Arabic/Japanese) version)

(Translated from English version to Arabic by Google Translate)

 

LiveDoG يبتسم بهدوء كلما نظر إلى أسفل

ولكن إذا استدار الصبي إلى الضابط ، نبح LiveDoG مرة أخرى

لم يكن الصبي يعلم أنه هو نفسه كان لديه نفس مظهر الضابط

هبت الرياح الباردة في أوائل الربيع من أعلى التيار

The Tale of LiveDoG (8)

 

(Trilingual (English/Arabic/Japanese) version)

 

The officer stared at the boy with hatred, anger and indignity eye.

But the officer did not point the muzzle of a gun at the boy.

Boy heard LiveDog barking violently at the officer.

The river was full of icy water and the two glared across the river.

(Translated from English version to Arabic by Google Translate)

 

حدق الضابط في الصبي بعين الحقد والغضب والإهانة

لكن الضابط لم يوجه فوهة البندقية نحو الصبي

سمع الصبي LiveDog ينبح بعنف على الضابط

كان النهر مليئًا بالمياه الجليدية وكان الاثنان يتلألآن عبر النهر
