🔷When Dave Perkins was young, he played a lot of games, and he was thin and strong, but when he was forty-five, he began to get fat and slow. He was not able to breathe as well as before, and when he walked rather fast, his heart beat painfully. هنگامي كه ديو پركينس جوان بود، او خيلي ورزش مي‌كرد، و لاغر و قوي بود، اما هنگامي كه چهل و پنج ساله شد، شروع به چاق شدن و تنبل شدن كرد. او قادر به نفس كشيدن مانند قبل نبود، و هنگامي كه مقداري تندتر حركت مي‌كرد، ضربان قلبش به سختي مي‌زد 🔹He did not do anything about this for a long time, but finally he became anxious and went to see a doctor, and the doctor sent him to hospital. Another young doctor examined him there and said, 'I don't want to mislead you, Mr Perkins. You're very ill, and I believe that you are unlikely to live much longer. Would you like me to arrange for anybody to come and see you before you die?' او براي مدت طولاني در اين باره كاري نكرد، اما در آخر نگران شد و به ديدن يك دكتر رفت، و دكتر او را به يك بيمارستان فرستاد. دكتر جوان ديگري او را در آنجا معاينه كرد و گفت: آقاي پركينس من نمي‌خواهم شما را فريب دهم. شما بسيار بيمار هستيد، و من معتقدم كه بعيد است شما مدت زمان زيادي زنده بمانيد. آيا مايل هستيد ترتيبي بدهم قبل از اينكه شما بميريد كسي به ملاقات شما بيايد؟ 🔹Dave thought for a few seconds and then he answered, 'I'd like another doctor to come and see me.' ديو براي چند ثانيه فكر كرد و سپس پاسخ داد، مايلم تا يك دكتر ديگر بيايد و مرا ببيند. #Beginner #Intermediate #Short_story ┏━━ °•🖌•°━━┓ 🍃@English_4U🍃 ┗━━ °•🖌•°━━┛

اتفاقاً زنی از خانه همسایه وارد شد و مرد غریبه را شناخت و با گریه گفت: وای، آیا مردی را که به تو کمک می کند، نمی شناسی؟امیر المومنین علی بن ابیطالب است(علیه السلام). The widow came forward and shamefacedly cried: "Curse and shame to me. I beg your pardon." بیوه جلو آمد و با شرمساری فریاد زد: لعنت و شرم بر من مرا ببخش Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied, "No, I beg your pardon for I failed in my duty towards you." حضرت علی بن ابیطالب علیه السلام فرمود: نه، مرا ببخش که در انجام وظیفه ام در قبال تو کوتاهی کردم. #Imam_Ali a.s. #Short_story ┏━━ °•🖌•°━━┓ 🍃@English_4U🍃 ┗━━ °•🖌•°━━┛

The place was very lonely and it seemed that there was none except Allah in that place. It was surrounded by mountains. It was called the 'City of Birds'. The city was the most beautiful place on earth. The birds over there led a very comfortable life. There were all kinds of birds - parrots, sparrows, pigeons, and etc. At the break of dawn, the cock's cry used to wake up everyone and then everyone began working. There lived a family of pigeons in that city. In that family there were several baby pigeons. These baby pigeons were very beautiful. They were milk white and there were brown lines along their necks, which added to their beauty. They used to wake up with the rising Sun and used to do salaam to the Sun with a lot of love and respect. The Sun replied to their salaam and used to converse with them. The Sun loved them more than the other birds. Everyday the Sun used to wake them up and encouraged them to work. آنجا بسیار خلوت بود و به نظر می رسید که در آن مکان کسی جز الله نیست. اطراف آن را کوه احاطه کرده بود. آن را "شهر پرندگان" می نامیدند. این شهر زیباترین مکان روی زمین بود. پرندگان در آنجا زندگی بسیار راحت داشتند. انواع پرندگان وجود داشت - طوطی، گنجشک، کبوتر و غیره. هنگام سحر، فریاد خروس همه را بیدار می کرد و سپس همه مشغول به کار شدند. خانواده ای کبوتر در آن شهر زندگی می کردند. در آن خانواده چندین بچه کبوتر وجود داشت. این بچه کبوترها خیلی زیبا بودند. آنها سفید شیری بودند و خطوط قهوه ای روی گردنشان وجود داشت که بر زیبایی آنها افزوده بود. با طلوع خورشید بیدار می شدند و با عشق و احترام فراوان به خورشید سلام می کردند. خورشید سلام آنها را جواب داد و با آنها گفتگو می کرد. خورشید آنها را بیشتر از سایر پرندگان دوست داشت. هر روز خورشید آنها را بیدار می کرد و آنها را تشویق به کار می کرد. #Part1 #City_of_birds #Short_story ┅═ঊঈ🌺🌹ঊঈ═┅╮ 📕 @English_4U ╰┅═ঊঈ🌸🌷ঊঈ═┅╯

The days passed in this manner, until it was winter. The birds, which could not tolerate the extreme cold, flew to another warmer city. Slowly many birds left the city and the place became very lonely. One day, the cock crowed as usual. The pigeons and other birds began rising slowly. But today they did not see the Sun. The Sun was hidden behind a very dark cloud. With this, the birds felt very cold and uncomfortable. The baby pigeons asked their mother, 'Why did the Sun not come out today?' The mother pigeon took her little ones under the shelter of her wings and said, 'Dear children, be patient, surely one day the Sun will come out.' روزها به همین ترتیب گذشت تا اینکه زمستان شد. پرندگان که تحمل سرمای شدید را نداشتند به شهر گرمتری دیگر پرواز کردند. کم کم پرندگان زیادی شهر را ترک کردند و مکان بسیار خلوت شد. یک روز خروس طبق معمول بانگ زد. کبوترها و پرندگان دیگر به آرامی شروع به بالا رفتن کردند. اما امروز آنها خورشید را ندیدند. خورشید پشت یک ابر بسیار تاریک پنهان شده بود. با این کار، پرندگان احساس سردی و ناراحتی زیادی کردند. بچه کبوترها از مادرشان پرسیدند چرا خورشید امروز بیرون نیامد؟ مادر کبوتر بچه‌هایش را زیر بال‌هایش گرفت و گفت: بچه‌های عزیز صبور باشید، حتماً روزی خورشید بیرون می‌آید. #Part2 #Short_story #City_of_Birds ┅═ঊঈ🌺🌹ঊঈ═┅╮ 📕 @English_4U ╰┅═ঊঈ🌸🌷ঊঈ═┅╯

Many days passed, however there were still no signs of the Sun. Without the Sun, the birds felt more and more uncomfortable. And as the dark clouds surrounded them, the whole place was very dull and gloomy. The birds used to sit alongside each other and consoled one another, 'Don't worry, surely one day the Sun will come out and drive the dark clouds away. It will fill our lives with light and happiness like before.' But the dark clouds continued to surround the 'City of Birds'. The thunder of the clouds frightened everyone, and the lightening made the birds feel very uneasy. The whole atmosphere was very tense. In this atmosphere, there were some who continued to do their work and were not affected by the thunder and lightening around them. But there were some who were very afraid and even became hopeless of the Sun ever coming out again. They started telling the other birds, 'O those who await the rising of the Sun, don't be so hopeful of the Sun, because it will never come out again! You will never see it again. So don't have any hopes on seeing the Sun, otherwise you will be disappointed.' روزها گذشت، اما هنوز هیچ نشانه ای از خورشید وجود نداشت. بدون خورشید، پرندگان بیشتر و بیشتر احساس ناراحتی می کردند. و همانطور که ابرهای تیره آنها را احاطه کرده بودند، تمام مکان بسیار کسل کننده و تاریک بود. پرنده‌ها کنار هم می‌نشستند و به هم دلداری می‌دادند: «نگران نباشید، حتماً روزی خورشید بیرون می‌آید و ابرهای سیاه را می‌راند. زندگی ما را مانند قبل پر از نور و شادی خواهد کرد.' اما ابرهای سیاه همچنان «شهر پرندگان» را احاطه کردند. رعد و برق ابرها همه را ترساند و رعد و برق باعث شد پرندگان احساس ناراحتی کنند. تمام فضا بسیار متشنج بود. در این فضا عده ای هم بودند که به کار خود ادامه دادند و تحت تاثیر رعد و برق اطرافشان قرار نگرفتند. اما عده ای بودند که بسیار ترسیدند و حتی از بیرون آمدن دوباره خورشید ناامید شدند. شروع کردند به پرندگان دیگر گفتند: ای کسانی که منتظر طلوع خورشید هستید، اینقدر به خورشید امیدوار نباشید، زیرا دیگر هرگز بیرون نخواهد آمد. دیگر هرگز آن را نخواهی دید. پس هیچ امیدی به دیدن خورشید نداشته باشید، در غیر این صورت ناامید خواهید شد. #Part3 #Short_story #City_of_Birds ┅═ঊঈ🌺🌹ঊঈ═┅╮ 📕 @English_4U ╰┅═ঊঈ🌸🌷ঊঈ═┅╯

Such talks saddened the birds. They began thinking, 'Will the Sun ever come out again?' Then the dark cloud also began frightening the birds with its talks. The cloud said, 'If you all don't do as I say, then there will be so much snow, that all of you will be covered in it.' چنین صحبت هایی باعث ناراحتی پرندگان شد. آنها شروع به فکر کردن کردند، "آیا خورشید دوباره بیرون خواهد آمد؟" بعد ابر تاریک هم با حرفاش شروع به ترساندن پرندگان کرد. ابر گفت: "اگر همه شما همانکاری که من می گویم انجام ندهید، آن قدر برف خواهد آمد که همه شما به زیر ان خواهید رفت." Now while the cloud was saying this, suddenly it became very cold and it began raining heavily. Then some of the weak birds began believing the cloud and said, 'O cloud, we believe you and will do as you command.' همونوقت در حالی که این حرف ها را می زد، ناگهان هوا بسیار سرد شد و باران شدیدی شروع به باریدن کرد. بعد تعدای از پرندگان ضعیف داشتن حرفهای ابر را باور کردند و گفتند: ای ابر، ما به تو ایمان آوردیم و هر چه فرمان دهی انجام خواهیم داد. However, the pigeons were not afraid of the cloud's threat. They spoke to the other birds thus, 'Dear brothers, what are you saying. Don't be fooled with the dark cloud's talks. Surely the Sun is present behind the dark cloud. One day the Sun will definitely come out from behind the dark cloud. با این حال، کبوترها از تهدید ابر نترسیدند. آنها با پرندگان دیگر چنین صحبت کردند: "برادران عزیز، چه می گویید؟ گول صحبت های ابر تاریک را نخورید. مطمئنا خورشید پشت ابر تاریک حضور دارد. یک روز قطعا خورشید از پشت ابر تاریک بیرون خواهد آمد. However the situation was such that no one was listening to anyone and everyone had his own opinion. Some were saying. 'Surely the Sun has died', while some were saying, 'The Sun is unhappy with us and will never return', while some others were saying, 'The Sun has gone on a long journey and no one knows when it will return.' اما شرایط طوری بود که کسی به حرف کسی گوش نمی داد و هرکس نظر خودش را داشت. بعضی ها می گفتند. «مسلماً خورشید مرده است»، در حالی که برخی می‌گفتند: «خورشید از ما ناراضی است و هرگز برنمی‌گردد» و برخی دیگر می‌گفتند: «خورشید به سفری طولانی رفته است و هیچ‌کس نمی‌داند کی برمی‌گردد».

There was a lot of confusion among the birds. Finally the birds decided that they would ask the Hoopoe's advice about the Sun. So they all went to the Hoopoe's nest and explained the matter to him. The Hoopoe listened to them very carefully. Then it said, 'The pigeons are absolutely right. The Sun has neither died, nor has it gone away on some journey. Right now, the Sun is present above our heads.' در بین پرندگان سردرگمی زیادی وجود داشت. سرانجام پرندگان تصمیم گرفتند که از هدهد در مورد خورشید راهنمایی بخواهند. پس همه به لانه هدهد رفتند و موضوع را برای او توضیح دادند. هدهد با دقت به آنها گوش داد. سپس گفت: «کبوترها کاملاً درست می‌گویند. خورشید نه مرده است و نه در سفری ناپدید شده است. در حال حاضر، خورشید بالای سر ما حاضر است. Then all those birds, which did not believe the pigeon earlier, were very surprised at the Hoopoe's talks. They asked, 'Is the Sun really present over our heads. But we cannot see anything. If the Sun had been there...' سپس همه آن پرندگان که زودتر کبوتر را باور نداشتن، از صحبت های هدهد بسیار شگفت زده شدند. آنها پرسیدند: "آیا خورشید واقعاً بالای سر ما حضور دارد؟" اما ما نمی توانیم چیزی ببینیم. اگر خورشید آنجا بود... The Hoopoe interrupted them and said, 'Just think a little and you will understand that whatever life is there on this earth, it is only because of the Sun. If there was no Sun we would all have died. Very often we don't see the Sun with our eyes, but its effects are very clear to everyone. For example, at night we don't see the Sun, but the Sun is very much there. It provides us with enough heat so that we remain alive. هدهد حرف آنها را قطع کرد و گفت: "فقط کمی فکر کنید و خواهید فهمید که هر چه زندگی در این زمین وجود دارد، فقط به خاطر خورشید است." اگر خورشید نبود همه ما می مردیم. خیلی اوقات ما خورشید را با چشمان خود نمی بینیم، اما اثرات آن برای همه بسیار واضح است. به عنوان مثال، در شب ما خورشید را نمی بینیم، اما خورشید با همه وجود آنجاست. گرمای کافی برای ما فراهم می کند تا زنده بمانیم. #Part5 #Short_story ┅═ঊঈ🌺🌹ঊঈ═┅╮ 📕 @English_4U ╰┅═ঊঈ🌸🌷ঊঈ═┅╯

Even when the weather is very cold, we get our heat from the Sun.' 'Don't be so sad and disheartened. Be patient and pray so that the dark clouds go away and the Sun becomes visible once again. Pray so that our eyes can be comforted with a glance at the Sun.' حتی زمانی که هوا بسیار سرد است، ما گرمای خود را از خورشید دریافت می کنیم. اینقدر غمگین و ناامید نباش. صبور باش و دعا کن تا ابرهای تیره بروند و خورشید بار دیگر نمایان شود. دعا کنید تا چشمان ما با یک نگاه به خورشید آرام شود. All the birds, especially the baby pigeons, prayed that night for the Sun. In the morning the Hoopoe, the birds and the pigeons woke up. The baby pigeons were very happy, and why not, their prayers had been answered. They all looked towards the sky very happily and said with love and affection, 'O generous Sun. Peace be upon you!' همه پرندگان به خصوص بچه کبوترها در آن شب برای خورشید دعا کردند. صبح هوپو، پرندگان و کبوترها از خواب بیدار شدند. بچه کبوترها خیلی خوشحال بودند و چرا که نه، دعایشان مستجاب شده بود. همه با خوشحالی به آسمان نگاه کردند و با عشق و محبت گفتند: ای خورشید سخاوتمند. درود بر تو! Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "In occultation (Ghaibat) Imam is like a sun hidden behind the clouds." پیامبر اکرم صلی الله علیه و آله فرمود: امام در غیبت مانند خورشیدی است که در پشت ابرها پنهان شده است. #Part6 #Short_story ┅═ঊঈ🌺🌹ঊঈ═┅╮ 📕 @English_4U ╰┅═ঊঈ🌸🌷ঊঈ═┅╯

Mick lived in the country, and he had quite a big garden. He grew vegetables, and he had some nice, fat chickens too. He sold the eggs and the meat, and got quite a lot of money for them. His neighbor had a big garden too, and he also had vegetables and nice, fat chickens in it. There was a wire fence between the gardens, but it was very old, and the chickens often found holes in it and went through. Now Mick wanted a new fence between his garden and his neighbor’s, so Mr. Biggs came to build it. Mick said to him, 'Please make the fence out of strong wood. And I want a hole in it.

He was gone. ما مرد خانه را از دست دادیم، پدرمان را از دست دادیم، کسی که از زمانی که مادرم خواهرم را به دنیا آورد کنار ما بود. او رفته بود. We would never see him again walking through the door laughing. We would never see him sitting at the kitchen smiling. We would never see him on the couch watching the Lakers game. We lost him in 2004 for good. دیگر هرگز او را نخواهیم دید خنده کنان از در میاید. ما هرگز او را نمی بینیم که در آشپزخانه نشسته و لبخند می زند. ما هرگز او را روی کاناپه در حال تماشای بازی لیکرز نخواهیم دید. ما او را در سال 2004 برای همیشه از دست دادیم. We were so accustomed to having him around. it took a while to get used to, till this day we still feel the void at times. ما خیلی عادت کرده بودیم که او را در کنارمان داشته باشیم. مدتی طول کشید تا به آن عادت کنیم، تا به امروز ما هنوز هم گاهی خلاء را احساس می کنیم.

He would be our guardian angel up in the sky. When I would look up and gaze at the stars, I always thought of him being the brightest star in the sky, shining down.

Mister pointed the gun at the other lawyers. He asked all of them the same questions. Nate Malamud, the only partner in the room, earned more than a million dollars. "More than a million?" Mister said to him. "I know you. You walk past me when I sit on the sidewalk every morning. You never give me any money. Why can't you help poor people, homeless people?" Nate was a big man with white hair. He had been with Drake & Sweeney for thirty years. He was red in the face with embarrassment now. ''I'm sorry," he said. "Who did the eviction?" said Mister, suddenly. And again, "Who did the eviction?" Nobody spoke. None of us understood him. But Mister wasn't looking for a n answer. He looked out the window. Maybe he was thinking. Maybe he was dreaming. Maybe he was watching the police out there. Our soup and bread arrived half an hour later. There w as a knock on the door and somebody outside shouted through the door, "Your food." Mister shouted back: "If I see a policeman out there, I'll kill these men . " Then h e pointed the gun a t my head. The two o f u s walked slowly t o the door. "Unlock the door and open it very slowly," Mister said.There was nobody outside. The food was on the floor, near the door. As I stepped outside and bent down to pick it up, I heard a shout: "Stay down!" A policeman stepped quickly out of the office opposite and shot Mister through the head. Mister fell without a sound, and my face was covered in blood. Whose blood? Mister was lying on the floor. Half his head had gone, but the sunglasses still covered one eye. His hands were nowhere near the dynamite. Policemen came running from all the offices. ''Are you hurt?" one of them asked me. I didn't know. I couldn't see. There was blood on my face and shirt and aliquid that, I discovered later, was part of Mister's brain. #4 #Mister #Intermediate #Short_Story #Listening ┏━━ °•🖌•°━━┓ 🍃@English_4U🍃 ┗━━ °•🖌•°━━┛

A man once came to Prophet Muhammad (S) carrying with him his belongings and a box. He said, “O Prophet! While I was passing through a jungle, I heard the voice of some bird's babies. I took them and put them in this box. The moment I did that, their mother came fluttering round my head.” And the Prophet said, “Put them down”. When the man put the box on the ground, the mother of the young birds joined them. Seeing this, the Prophet asked the man who now had a look of surprise on his face, “Are you surprised by the affection of the mother towards her young? I swear by Him (Almighty Allah) who has sent me, surely, God is more loving to his servants than the mother to these young birds. Return these baby birds to the place from where you took them, and let their mother be with them.” “Fear God with regard to animals”, said the Prophet of Islam, “ride them when they are fit to be ridden, and get off their backs when they are tired; surely, there are rewards for being kind and gentle to animals, and for giving them water to drink.” Islam has taught that in the eyes of Allah, animals also have rights in the same way as man has. They should not be treated badly, tortured or left to starve without food or water. #Short_Story #Animals ┏━━ °•🖌•°━━┓ 🍃@English_4U🍃 ┗━━ °•🖌•°━━┛

Then I’ll come back again, and I’ll ask you to marry me.” She gave me a long, loving look. Then she laughed. “Oh, Anthony,” she said. “Don’t wait until you’re rich and famous. Ask me now!” So I did – and here we are!’ به او گفتم: “من نمی توانم چیز زیادی به تو بدهم، لیندا.” “اما یک روز من ثروتمند و مشهور خواهم شد. سپس دوباره برمی گردم و از شما می خواهم که با من ازدواج کنید.” او نگاهی طولانی و عاشقانه به من کرد. سپس خندید. او گفت: “اوه، آنتونی.” صبر نکن تا ثروتمند و مشهور شوی. همین حالا از من درخواست کن! #Short_story #Intermediate #British_accent #listening 🛎@English_4U
