مَاذَا أَلْبَسُ هٰذَا الصَّبَاحَ؟
يُوسُفُ: هٰذَا الصَّبَاحُ بَارِدٌ. مَاذَا أَلْبَسُ؟
الْأُمُّ: اِلْبَسْ مِعْطَفًا وَوِشَاحًا.
يُوسُفُ: أَيْنَ مِعْطَفِي الْأَزْرَقُ؟
الْأُمُّ: هُوَ فِي الْخِزَانَةِ بِجَانِبِ الْبَابِ.
يُوسُفُ: هَلِ الْقَمِيصُ الْخَفِيفُ يَكْفِي؟
الْأُمُّ: لَا، الْمِعْطَفُ أَدْفَأُ.
يُوسُفُ: هَلْ آخُذُ الْوِشَاحَ الْأَحْمَرَ؟
الْأُمُّ: نَعَمْ، هُوَ دَافِئٌ أَيْضًا.
يُوسُفُ: وَأَيْنَ قُبَّعَتِي؟
الْأُمُّ: هِيَ عَلَى الطَّاوِلَةِ.
يُوسُفُ: أَلْبَسُ الْمِعْطَفَ وَالْقُبَّعَةَ الْآنَ.
الْأُمُّ: خُذْ حَقِيبَتَكَ أَيْضًا.
يُوسُفُ: شُكْرًا. أَنَا جَاهِزٌ.
الْأُمُّ: جَيِّدٌ، هَيَّا بِنَا!
