Christmas Shopping for My Kids

التَّسَوُّقُ لِعِيدِ المِيلَادِ لِأَطْفَالِي

فِي يَوْمِ الشِّتَاءِ ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى المَتْجَرِ لِأَشْتَرِيَ هَدَايَا لِعِيدِ المِيلَادِ. أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُفَاجِئَ أَطْفَالِي بِأَشْيَاءَ جَمِيلَةٍ. فِي القِسْمِ الأَوَّلِ رَأَيْتُ لُعَبًا كَثِيرَةً. أَخَذْتُ كُرَةً لِابْنِي الصَّغِيرِ، وَدُمْيَةً لِابْنَتِي. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ نَظَرْتُ فِي قِسْمِ الكُتُبِ وَوَجَدْتُ قِصَصًا مُلَوَّنَةً. قَرَّرْتُ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَ قِصَّةً لِكُلِّ طِفْلٍ. ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى صُنْدُوقِ الدَّفْعِ وَدَفَعْتُ النُّقُودَ. كَانَتِ الحَقِيبَةُ مُمْتَلِئَةً بِالهَدَايَا. شَعَرْتُ بِالسُّعَادَةِ لِأَنَّ أَطْفَالِي سَيَكُونُونَ مَسْرُورِينَ فِي يَوْمِ العِيدِ.

English Translation

On a winter day I went to the store to buy Christmas gifts. I wanted to surprise my children with beautiful things. In the first section I saw many toys. I took a ball for my little son and a doll for my daughter. After that, I looked in the book section and found colorful stories. I decided to buy a story for each child. I went to the cashier and paid the money. The bag was full of gifts. I felt happy because my children would be joyful on Christmas day.
