1. Before I begin my story, I would like to tell you a little about my early life. I was born on a large farm in the middle of England, the third of five sons, and my father called me Lemuel Gulliver. After I finished school, I studied in Cambridge for three years and then became an apprentice to a surgeon in London. The surgeon, Mr Bates, was a very good one, and I worked with him for four years. However, I always wanted to travel, so in my free time I learned how to sail so that one day I could leave England and explore the world.
• قبل أن أبدأ في سرد قصتي, أود أن أخبركم قليلا عن حياتي في مقتبل العمر. أنا ولدت في مزرعة كبيرة في منتصف لندن, وكان ترتيبي الثالث بين خمسة أبناء, وأطلق عليّ أبي اسم ليمويل جليفر. بعد أن أنهيت تعليمي بالمدارس, درستُ في جامعة كامبريدج لمدة ثلاثة أعوام, ثم عملت كمبتدئ تحت التمرين لدى جراحا في لندن. كان هذا الجراح, ويُدعى السيد بيتس, بارعا جدا وعملتُ معه لمدة أربعة أعوام, ولكنني كنت دائما أرغب في السفر, ولذلك تعلمت الإبحار خلال أوقات الفراغ لكي أتمكن في يوم من الأيام من مغادرة إنجلترا واستكشاف العالم.
2. Mr Bates knew all about my desire to travel, so when I had finished my studies, Mr Bates helped me to get work as a surgeon on a ship called The Swallow. For three and a half years, I worked for Captain Abraham Pannel on his ship as it travelled round the eastern seas.
• كان السيد بيتس يعلم كل شيئ عن رغبتي في السفر ولذلك, عندما أنهيت دراستي, ساعدني في الحصول على عمل كجراح على سفينة تسمى سوالو, وعملت لمدة ثلاثة أعوام ونصف لدى القبطان أبراهام بانيل على سفينته أثناء رحلاتها حول البحار الشرقية.
3. Once back in England, I met a kind woman called Mary Burton and we soon got married. I decided to stay in London with my new wife for a few years, but although Mr Bates did all he could do to help me, work was not easy to find. A year later, Mr Bates sadly died and I knew that my life would only become more difficult; we had only just enough money to live on.
"There's little work for a surgeon in London, but my friends tell me I should be able to find work on a ship," I said to Mary one day. She thought long and hard before saying, "I don't want you to go, but if that's the only way we can earn enough to live well, then so be it."
• عند عودتي إلى إنجلترا التقيتُ بامرأة كريمة تُدعى ماري بيرتون وتزوجنا بعد وقت قصير. قررتُ أن أبقى في لندن مع زوجتي الجديدة لبضع سنوات. بالرغم أن السيد بيتس بذل أقصى جهده لمساعدتي, فإن الحصول على عمل لم يكن بالأمر الهيّن. بعد عام واحد مات السيد بيتس للأسف وكنتُ أعرف أن حياتي ستصبح أكثر صعوبة, فقد كان لدينا من المال ما يكفي فقط ليسدّ رمقنا. قلتُ لماري في أحد الأيام, "إن فرصة العمل في لندن بالنسبة لجراح ضعيفة, ولكن أصدقائي يقولون أنه ينبغي عليّ أن أتمكن من إيجاد وظيفة على إحدى السفن." فكرت ماري طويلا ومليّا ثم قالت, "أنا لا أريدك أن ترحل, ولكن إذا كان هذا هو السبيل الوحيد التي يمكننا من خلاله أن نكسب ما يكفينا للعيش بشكل جيد فليكن."
4. My friends were right, because I quickly found another job as a ship's surgeon, and for six years I travelled around the world. I earned good money, and as a surgeon is not always needed on a ship, I also had plenty of time to myself. I did not waste this time but used it well: I read books and taught myself to speak several languages.
• كان أصدقائي على صواب, لأنني وجدتُ بسرعة وظيفة أخرى كجراح على سفينة. سافرتُ حول العالم خلال ستة أعوام وكسبتُ مبلغا جيدا من المال. ولأن الجراح لا يكون مطلوبا بشكل دائم على سفينة, فقد أتيح لي أيضا الكثير من الوقت لنفسي. لم أضيع هذا الوقت ولكني استخدمته بشكل جيد, فقرأتُ الكتب وعلمتُ نفسي التحدث بلغات عديدة.
5. My life changed after I got a new job on a ship called The Antelope. We left England in May and we had been at sea for about two months when The Antelope was hit by a violent storm. The ship was soon blown far away from our chosen route and we did not know where we were. The sea was so violent that we lost some of our crew even before the ship was suddenly blown onto a rock. There was a terrible crash and I could see that the ship was in great danger.
"We're going to sink!" shouted the captain. "Get into the lifeboats!"
• تغيرت حياتي بعد أن حصلت على وظيفة جديدة على سفينة تُدعى أنتيلوب. غادرت السفينة إنجلترا في شهر مايو. كنا قد قضينا في البحر نحو شهرين عندما ضربت عاصفة عنيفة السفينة أنتيلوب. وبعدها مباشرة قذفت الرياح السفينة بعيدا عن طريقنا المحدد, ولم نكن نعرف أين مكاننا بالتحديد. كان البحر عنيفا للغاية لدرجة أننا فقدنا بعضا من طاقم سفينتنا حتى قبل أن تتسبب الرياح في ارتطام السفينة فجأة بإحدى الصخور. حدث اصطدام رهيب وأدركتُ أن السفينة كانت في خطر داهم. صاح القبطان قائلا, "إننا نوشك على الغرق, اركبوا قوارب النجاة."
6. Quickly climbing into a lifeboat with five other sailors, I was able to escape, but not everyone was lucky: we watched in horror as The Antelope sank behind us. But although we rowed for some distance, the sea did not become calmer. A huge wave hit us and we were all thrown into the water.
• صعدتُ بسرعة إلى أحد قوارب النجاة مع خمسة بحّارة آخرين وتمكنتُ من النجاة. ولكن لم يكن الجميع محظوظين, فقد شاهدنا ونحن مرعوبون السفينة أنتيلوب تغرق خلفنا. ولكن بالرغم أننا ظللنا نجدّف لمسافة ما, لم يهدأ البحر. ضربتنا عاصفة عاتية وقذفت بنا جميعا في المياه.
7. The sea was rough and it was very hard to swim in my heavy clothes, but at least the water was not too cold. I looked around me and realised that I was alone. I did not know what had happened to the other sailors. Perhaps they were all dead. The wind and the waves decided the direction I went in, and I soon felt I had lost all the strength in my arms. Just when I thought I could not swim any more, my feet touched something hard. I had reached land. When I finally walked up the beach, I was cold, wet and exhausted. I looked around me, but there were no houses or people that I could see, so I found some soft grass, lay down and fell into a long sleep.
• كان البحر هائجا وكان من الصعب جدا أن أسبح مرتديا ملابسي الثقيلة, ولكن على الأقل لم تكن المياه شديدة البرودة. نظرتُ حولي وأدركتُ أنني كنتُ بمفردي. لم أعرف ما الذي حدث للبحارة الآخرين. ربما هلكوا جميعا. كانت الرياح والأمواج هي التي تحدد الاتجاه الذي أسبح فيه, وشعرتُ سريعا أنني فقدتُ كل القوة التي في ذراعيّ. في نفس اللحظة تماما التي اعتقدتُ فيها أنني لم أعد قادرا على السباحة لمسافة أخرى, لمست قدماي شيئا صلبا, لقد وصلت لليابسة. عندما صعدتُ أخيرا إلى الشاطئ سيرا على الأقدام, كنت أشعر بالبرودة, وكنت مبتلا ومنهكا. عندما نظرت حولي, لم أشاهد أي منازل أو أشخاص. وجدت بعضا من العشب الناعم, فاستلقيت عليه واستغرقت في نوم طويل.
8. When I woke up, it was early morning and the sun was just beginning to rise. I tried to stand up, but I found that this was impossible. I realised that my arms, my legs and even my hair were all somehow fastened to the ground. Thin ropes were tied around my body and neck, and I found I could only look up at the clear sky above me.
• عندما استيقظت, كان الوقت مبكرا في الصباح وكانت الشمس قد بدأت لتوها في الشروق. حاولت أن أنهض واقفا, ولكني وجدت أن ذلك مستحيلا. وأدركت أن ذراعَيّ وساقَيّ بل وحتى شعري كانوا جميعا مربوطين بطريقة ما في الأرض. كانت هناك أحبالا رفيعة مربوطة حول جسدي ورقبتي, ووجدت أن باستطاعتي أن أنظر لأعلى فقط إلى السماء الصافية من فوقي.
9. I heard some noises and then felt something climb onto my left leg. It moved up my body until it was close to my head. Only then could I see what it was. It was a human, but this human was only about fifteen centimetres tall. He was carrying a bow and arrow. I then realised there were about forty other men of the same size all around me. They all looked the same, each one carrying a tiny bow and arrow. "Who are you and what are you doing to me?" I cried. On hearing my voice, the little men looked worried and jumped away from me, so I tried to stand up again. Some of the ropes broke and now I could move my left arm.
• سمعتُ بعض الأصوات الصاخبة, ثم شعرت بشيئ ما يتسلق ويصعد على ساقي اليسرى. تحرك هذا الشيئ على جسدي حتى أصبح قريبا من رأسي, وعندها فقط أدركت كينونة هذا الشيئ. لقد كان شخص آدمي, ولكن كان طول هذا الآدمي خمسة عشر سنتيمترا فقط تقريبا. كان يحمل قوسا وسهما. ثم أدركت حينئذ أنه كان هناك حوالي أربعون رجل آخرين لهم نفس الحجم يقفون حولي من كل اتجاه. كانوا جميعا يشبهون بعضهم البعض تماما, وكان كل منهم يحمل قوسا صغيرا جدا وسهما. صرختُ فيهم قائلا, "من أنتم وماذا تفعلون بي؟" عندما سمعوا صوتي, بدا القلق على الرجال صغار الحجم وقفزوا مبتعدين عني, لذلك حاولت أن أنهض واقفا مرة أخرى. قُطِعت بعض الأحبال واستطعت الآن أن أحرك ذراعي الأيسر.
10. The little men shouted something in a strange language and I felt hundreds of arrows hit me. Most of the arrows hit my thick clothes and I felt nothing, but some of them stuck in my left hand. The arrows were tiny, but there were so many of them that it hurt. "Will you please stop that?" I shouted, but when they continued to shoot the arrows, I lay quietly on the ground and decided not to move or say anything. If I waited until night time, I thought I could use my left hand to untie the other ropes and escape when it was dark.
• صاح الرجال الصغار قائلين شيئا بلغة غريبة, وشعرت بمئات السهام تضربني. معظم تلك السهام ضربت ملابسي السميكة وبالتالي لم أشعر بشيئ, ولكن بعض السهام غُرزت في يدي اليسرى. كانت السهام متناهية الصغر, ولكن كان عددهم كبير جدا لدرجة أنهم سببوا لي ألما. فصِحتُ قائلا, "هلا توقفتم عن فعل ذلك من فضلكم؟" ولكن عندما استمروا في اطلاق السهام, استلقيتُ هادئا على الأرض وقررتُ ألا أتحرك أو أقول أي شيئ. فكرتُ أنني إذا انتظرتُ حتى وقت الليل سأستطيع استخدام يدي اليسرى لفك الأحبال الأخرى ثم أهرب عندما يحلُّ الظلام.
11. Perhaps because they could see that I was not trying to escape, the little men became quiet. Later, they grew more confident and after about an hour, I could hear wood being cut next to me. I guessed that they were building something. Then the ropes around my head were cut free and I could finally lift my head. I saw a man standing on a wooden platform that had been built to the side of my head. The man was wearing important-looking clothes, and a servant stood on each side of him. He looked at me and started to give a talk, but I could not understand anything he said. I guessed from his expressions and intonation that he spoke with a mixture of threats and promises.
• هدأ الرجال الصغار, ربما لأنهم لاحظوا أنني لم أكن أحاول الهروب. بعد ذلك, ازداد اطمئنان هؤلاء الرجال, وبعد ساعة تقريبا, سمعت أصوات تقطيع أخشاب بجواري, وخمنتُ أنهم كانوا يبنون شيئا. وبعد ذلك, تم قطع الأحبال التي حول رأسي, واستطعتُ أخيرا أن أرفع رأسي. رأيت رجلا يقف على منصة خشبية تم بنائها بجانب رأسي. كان الرجل يرتدي ملابس توحي بأنه شخصٌ مرموق, وكان يقف أحد الخدم على كلا جانبيه. نظر الرجل لي وبدأ يقول كلاما, ولكني لم أفهم أي شيئ مما قاله. خمنتُ من تعبيرات وجهه ومن تغيّر طبقات صوته أن حديثه كان مزيجا من التهديدات والتعهدات.
12. When the man finished talking, I tried to talk to him in English. "Sir, My name's Lemuel Gulliver and my ship's been lost in a storm. That's why I'm here. You don't need to tie me up, I won't hurt anyone. Perhaps you could give me some food and a drink."
I could see from his expression that he did not understand me either. So I pointed to my mouth to show him that I was hungry and thirsty.
• عندما أنهى الرجل حديثه, حاولت أن أتكلم معه بالإنجليزية قائلا, "يا سيدي, اسمي ليمويل جليفر وسفينتي فُقدت بسبب عاصفة ولهذا السبب أنا موجود هنا. لا داعي لتقييدي بالأحبال فأنا لن أؤذي أي شخص. أرجو لو تكرمتم إعطائي بعض الطعام والشراب." لاحظت من تعبير وجهه أنه لم يفهمني أيضا, لذلك أشرتُ إلى فمي لأبيّن له أنني كنتُ جائعا وظمآنا.
13. The man said something to his servants. I watched as some of the little men went off, returning shortly with many baskets of food and little containers of water. They put ladders against my shoulder and carried the baskets and containers up to my mouth. They could not believe how much I drank and ate, but they seemed pleased. I think the little people realised that they could trust me and, with food in my stomach, I felt I could trust them, too.
• قال الرجل شيئا لخَدمه, وشاهدتُ بعضا من الرجال الصغار ينصرفون ثم يعودون بعد وقت قصير ومعهم الكثير من السلال التي بها أطعمة وكذلك الأواني التي بها المياه. قاموا بوضع سلالم على كتفي, ورفعوا السلال والأواني إلى فمي. لم يصدقوا الكمية التي شربتها وأكلتها, ولكنهم بدوا سعداء. أعتقد أن الناس الصغار أدركوا أنهم من الممكن أن يثقوا بي, وعندما أصبح هناك طعاما في معدتي, شعرت أنني يمكن أن أثق بهم أيضا.
14. "Thank you," I said when I had finished eating. The little men smiled at me and nodded their heads. Another man arrived and it was clear that this was an important person. The other men bowed to him and from his clothes I understood that this was the King of their country, which I later found was called Lilliput. He, too, spoke to me from the wooden platform and I waited patiently until he finished speaking.
• قدّمتُ لهم الشكر بعد أن فرغت من تناول الطعام. ابتسم لي الرجال الصغار وقاموا بتحيتي برؤوسهم. وصل رجل آخر وكان من الواضح أنه شخصية مرموقة. انحنى الرجال الآخرون له, وأدركتُ من ملابسه أنه كان مَلك دولتهم والتي علمتُ فيما بعد أن اسمها ليليبوت. تحدث الملك إليّ أيضا من فوق المنصة الخشبية, وانتظرتُ بصبر حتى أنهى حديثه.
15. "I'm pleased to meet you, sir, but please, can you set me free?" I asked him. I now knew we could not speak the same language, but we managed to communicated with each other using signs with our hands. So I understood that he refused my request to be free, and that he said that I did not need to worry. He pointed and said something about moving me somewhere.
• قلتُ للملك, "أنا مسرور بلقائك يا سيدي, ولكن أرجوك, هل تسمح بأن تحررني من الأَسْر؟" كنتُ أعلم الآن أننا لا نستطيع أن نتحدث بنفس اللغة, ولكننا نجحنا في التواصل معا باستخدام الإشارات بأيدينا, وبذلك فهمتُ أنه رفض طلبي في أن أكون مطلق السراح, وأنه قال أنه لا داعي بالنسبة لي أن أقلق. ثم أشار بيده وقال شيئا بخصوص نقلي إلى مكان ما.
16. Hundreds of tiny people were now standing around me. Slowly they picked me up and put me on a strange machine that had many wheels. Later I found out that the people of this land were great engineers and had designed this machine to carry heavy trees. It was pulled by a team of tiny black and white horses, each horse about eleven centimetres tall. I realised that they wanted to take me to the capital city. Before we left, some of the men poured some medicine on the cuts where the arrows had hit my hand. The cuts immediately felt much better.
• كان يقف حولي الآن مئات من الأشخاص الصغار جدا. قاموا بحملي ببطء ووضعوني على آلة غريبة كان لها عجلات كثيرة. اكتشفت فيما بعد أن سكان هذه الجزيرة كانوا مهندسين عظماء وقاموا بتصميم هذه الآلة لحمل الأشجار الثقيلة. كان يجر الآلة مجموعة من الخيل الصغيرة جدا لونها أسود وأبيض, ويبلغ طول كل حصان منهم حوالي أحد عشر سنتيمترا. أدركت أنهم كانوا يريدون نقلي إلى عاصمة دولتهم. قبل أن نغادر, قام بعض الرجال بسَكْب بعض الدواء على الجروح في الأماكن التي ضربتني فيها السهام في يدي, وعلى الفور تحسنت حالة الجروح كثيرا.
17. The city was perhaps a kilometre away, but it took all that night for the machine to carry me there. Because they had put some medicine in my food that made me sleepy, I slept for most of the journey, only waking up briefly when one of the soldiers decided to put a pole up my nose to see what would happen. He quickly ran away when I woke up and sneezed.
• كانت المدينة تبعد حوالي كيلو مترا واحدا تقريبا, ولكن استغرق نقلي إلى هناك على هذه الآلة طوال تلك الليلة. ولأنهم وضعوا بعض الدواء في طعامي الذي جعلني أشعر بالنعاس, فقد نِمتُ معظم وقت الرحلة واستيقظت فقط لبرهة عندما قرر أحد الجنود أن يُدخل عصا طويلة في أنفي ليرى ما الذي سيحدث. هذا الجندي جرى هاربا عندما استيقظت وعطست.
18. The next morning, I awoke to find that the machine had carried me to an area close to the city gates. The horses stopped outside a building which I later found out was an ancient temple, the largest building in the land. No one used the empty building now, so the King decided that I should stay there. The building had a small garden around it which you could enter through two gates, each one a little more than a metre high. The King did not want me to escape, so he asked some of his men to fasten my legs to the gates using metal chains.
• في الصباح التالي, استيقظتُ لأكتشف أن الآلة قد حملتني إلى منطقة قريبة من بوابات المدينة. توقفت الخيل خارج أحد المباني الذي اكتشفت فيما بعد أنه كان معبدا قديما, وكان أكبر مبنى على الجزيرة. لم يكن أحد يستخدم ذلك المبنى الفارغ الآن, لذلك قرر الملك أن أبقى هناك. كان المبنى له حديقة صغيرة تحيط به والتي يمكنك أن تدخل إليها من خلال بوابتين يبلغ ارتفاع كلا منهما أكثر قليلا من متر واحد. لم يكن الملك يريد أن أهرب, لذلك طلب من بعض رجاله أن يربطوا ساقَيّ في البوابات باستخدام سلاسل معدنية.
19. Opposite my new home there was a tower which was approximately two metres high. The King went to the top of this tower with his men so they could watch me, like you watch an animal in a zoo, although I could not see them. During the next few days, hundreds of people from the city came out of the gates to see me lying on the strange machine next to my new home. At first, they used ladders to try to climb up on my body, but the King said this was not allowed.
• أمام مسكني الجديد كان يوجد برجا يبلغ ارتفاعه مترين تقريبا. صعد الملك مع رجاله إلى قمة هذا البرج لكي ييستطيعوا أن يتفرّجوا عليّ مثلما يتفرّج الإنسان على أحد الحيوانات في حديقة للحيوان, وفي نفس الوقت لم يكن باستطاعتي رؤيتهم. خلال الأيام القليلة التالية, جاء مئات الأشخاص من المدينة خارجين من البوابات لرؤيتي مستلقيا على الآلة الغريبة بجوار مسكني الجديد. في البداية استخدموا سلالم لمحاولة التسلق على جسدي, ولكن الملك قال أن ذلك غير مسموح به.
20. When the soldiers realised I could not escape with my legs chained to the gates, they cut the ropes that fastened me to the machine. Now I could stand up, although the chains on my legs stopped me from going very far. However, I could walk a little way around the empty building, and at night I could lie down to sleep on the hard floor of my new home.
• عندما لاحظ الجنود أنني لا أستطيع الهروب وساقيّ مربوطتين بالسلاسل في البوابات, قطعوا الأحبال التي كانت تربطني في الآلة. الآن كان بإمكاني الوقوف بالرغم أن السلاسل التي كانت في سيقاني تمنعني من الذهاب لمسافة بعيدة, ومع ذلك, كنت أستطيع أن أسير لمسافة صغيرة حول المبنى الفارغ, وفي الليل أستطيع أن أستلقي للنوم على الأرض الصلبة في مسكني الجديد.
21. The next morning, I got up and looked at the land around the city. It was a pretty scene which reminded me of a painting in a children's book. There were lots of little fields and woods, the fields the size of small gardens and the trees only a little more than two metres tall. I watched as some men arrived with little vehicles which they pushed towards me on wooden wheels. Each vehicle carried food and drink, and the men left the vehicles at the point to which I could walk before the chains stopped me. I emptied twenty of these vehicles for my breakfast. I did not know what the food was, but it tasted nice.
• في الصباح التالي, استيقظتُ ونظرتُ إلى الأرض التي حول المدينة. كان منظرا جميلا وذكّرني بأحد الرسومات في كتاب للأطفال. كان هناك الكثير من الحقول والغابات صغيرة الحجم. كانت الحقول في حجم حدائق صغيرة, وكان يبلغ طول الأشجار أكثر قليلا من مترين. شاهدت بعض الرجال عندما وصلوا ومعهم عربات صغيرة قاموا بدفعها نحوي على عجلات خشبية. كانت كل عربة تحمل طعاما وشرابا. قام الرجال بترك العربات عند النقطة التي أستطيع أن أسير إليها قبل أن توقفني السلاسل. أفرغتُ عشرين عربة من هذه العربات كإفطار لي. لم أكن أعرف ما هو ذلك الطعام, ولكن كان مذاقه شهيا.
22. As I was eating, I realised the King was watching me with his servants and some of his family. He was about 28 years old, and tall compared to the other people, with strong arms and a handsome face. His clothes were the same as a king would wear in a European country, although he held up a sword to protect himself. It was perhaps seven centimetres long. He spoke to me again in a very high voice. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty," I replied, "but I cannot understand what you're saying to me." I tried to answer in all the languages I knew: French, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic, but he understood nothing.
• بينما كنت أتناول الطعام, لاحظت أن الملك كان يتفرج عليّ ومعه خَدمه وبعض أفراد أسرته. كان يبلغ من العمر حوالي ثمانية وعشرون عاما, وكان طويلا بالمقارنة بباقي الناس هناك, وكانت له ذراعان قويتان ووجه وسيم. كانت ملابسه تشبه تماما تلك التي يرتديها الملوك في دول أوروبا, على الرغم أنه كان يحمل سيفا لكي يحمي نفسه. كان طول السيف يبلغ سبع سنتيمترات تقريبا. تحدّث إليّ الملك مرة أخرى بصوت مرتفع جدا, فأجبته قائلا, "أنا آسف يا فخامة الملك, ولكني لا أستطيع أن أفهم ما تقوله لي." حاولت أن أرد عليه بكل اللغات التي أعرفها: الفرنسية والأسبانية والصينية والعربية, ولكنه لم يفهم أي شيئ.
23. After the King left, people from the city began to arrive to look at me again. Some of the braver people tried to climb on my body, but the guards stopped them. One morning, I was sitting down by the door of my new house watching the little people who had come to see me. Six of them approached me with bows and arrows. They started shooting arrows at me and one arrow nearly hit my eye.
• بعد أن غادر الملك, بدأ يصل بعض الناس من المدينة ليلقوا نظرة عليّ مرة أخرى. وحاول بعض ممن يتّسمون بشجاعة أكبر أن يتسلقوا على جسدي, ولكن الحراس منعوهم من ذلك. في صباح ذات يوم, كنتُ جالسا بجوار باب مسكني الجديد أتفرّج على الناس الصغار الذين جاءوا لرؤيتي. اقترب ستة منهم وهم يحملون الأقواس والسهام وبدأوا يطلقون السهام نحوي, وكاد أحد السهام أن يصيب عيني.
24. "That's not funny!" I shouted at them. "Stop it at once!" Seeing that I was angry, the guards quickly arrested the six people who had done this. They tied their hands together and pushed them towards me, perhaps thinking that I could punish them. They all looked very worried.
• صرختُ فيهم قائلا, "هذا ليس شيئا مضحكا, توقفوا عن ذلك فورا." وعندما رأى الحراس أنني كنتُ غاضبا, قاموا بسرعة بالقبض على الستة أشخاص الذين فعلوا ذلك, وقاموا بتوثيق أيديهم معا ودفعوهم ناحيتي, ربما معتقدين أنه بإمكاني معاقبتهم. بدا عليهم جميعا القلق الشديد.
25. "So, why are you shooting at me?" I asked as I picked them up one at a time. "You five can wait here, in my pocket," I said, holding the sixth man in my hand. I looked at him with interest. Laughing, I said to him, "You're so small and so very weak." I picked up a knife and moved it towards the little man's hands. "You think I'm going to eat you, don't you?" I said. The little man and even the guards looked horrified.
• سألتُ الرجال الصغار وأنا ألتقطهم واحدا تلو الآخر, "لماذا تضربونني بالسهام؟" "أنتم الخمسة تستطيعون الانتظار هنا, في جيبي." قلتُ ذلك وأنا ممسك بالرجل السادس في يدي. نظرتُ إليه بتمعن, ثم قلتُ له ضاحكا, "أنت صغير جدا وضعيف للغاية." التقطتُ سكينا وحرّكته باتجاه يدي الرجل الصغير قائلا, "أنت تعتقد أنني سوف ألتهمك, أليس كذلك؟" بدا الذعر على الرجل الصغير بل حتى على الحراس أنفسهم.
