Parable


     Malsi, who had never                            
    been out of Gaza was
    picking olives close to
      the high border wall.

She said to her grandmother
   that she wished the trees
     were much much taller.

   But why her grandmother
                enquired?

To which Malsi responded.

     “Because we'd have
   a far far better harvest”.







موعظة


     مالسي ، الذي لم يفعل
    من غزة كان
    قطف الزيتون بالقرب من
      الجدار الحدودي العالي.

قالت لجدتها
   أنها تتمنى الأشجار
     كانت أطول من ذلك بكثير.

لكن لماذا جدتها
                استفسر؟

الذي رد مالسي.

     "لأنه كان لدينا
   حصاد أفضل بكثير "
