مِنَ الصَّبَاحِ إِلَى الْمَدْرَسَةِ
عُمَرُ: مَتَى تَسْتَيْقِظُ صَبَاحًا يَا نَبِيلُ؟
نَبِيلٌ: أَسْتَيْقِظُ فِي السَّاعَةِ السَّادِسَةِ.
عُمَرُ: مَاذَا تَفْعَلُ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ؟
نَبِيلٌ: أَغْسِلُ وَجْهِي، ثُمَّ أَلْبَسُ مَلَابِسِي.
عُمَرُ: وَمَتَى تَتَنَاوَلُ الْفُطُورَ؟
نَبِيلٌ: فِي السَّاعَةِ السَّادِسَةِ وَالنِّصْفِ. وَأَشْرَبُ الْحَلِيبَ.
عُمَرُ: أَنَا أَسْتَيْقِظُ فِي السَّاعَةِ السَّابِعَةِ.
نَبِيلٌ: وَمَاذَا تَفْعَلُ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ؟
عُمَرُ: أَتَنَاوَلُ الْفُطُورَ، ثُمَّ أُنَظِّفُ أَسْنَانِي.
نَبِيلٌ: مَتَى تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ؟
عُمَرُ: أَخْرُجُ فِي السَّاعَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ، وَأَمْشِي إِلَى الْمَدْرَسَةِ.
نَبِيلٌ: أَنَا أَيْضًا أَمْشِي إِلَى الْمَدْرَسَةِ.
عُمَرُ: هَلْ نَلْتَقِي أَمَامَ بَيْتِي فِي الثَّامِنَةِ؟
نَبِيلٌ: نَعَمْ، إِلَى اللِّقَاءِ غَدًا.
