مَا رَقْمُ هَاتِفِكَ؟
حَسَنٌ: هَلْ نَتَدَرَّبُ عَلَى أَرْقَامِ الْهَاتِفِ؟
بِلَالٌ: نَعَمْ. هٰذَا رَقْمٌ لِلتَّدْرِيبِ فَقَطْ.
حَسَنٌ: حَسَنًا، مَا رَقْمُ هَاتِفِكَ فِي هٰذَا التَّدْرِيبِ؟
بِلَالٌ: صِفْرٌ، وَاحِدٌ، اِثْنَانِ، ثَلَاثَةٌ، أَرْبَعَةٌ، خَمْسَةٌ، سِتَّةٌ، سَبْعَةٌ، ثَمَانِيَةٌ، تِسْعَةٌ.
حَسَنٌ: مِنْ فَضْلِكَ، أَعِدِ الْأَرْقَامَ الْأَخِيرَةَ بِبُطْءٍ.
بِلَالٌ: سِتَّةٌ، سَبْعَةٌ، ثَمَانِيَةٌ، تِسْعَةٌ.
حَسَنٌ: هَلِ الرَّقْمُ الْأَخِيرُ ثَمَانِيَةٌ؟
بِلَالٌ: لَا، الرَّقْمُ الْأَخِيرُ تِسْعَةٌ.
حَسَنٌ: فَهِمْتُ. أَكْتُبُ الْأَرْقَامَ الْآنَ.
بِلَالٌ: وَمَا رَقْمُ هَاتِفِكَ فِي التَّدْرِيبِ؟
حَسَنٌ: تِسْعَةٌ، ثَمَانِيَةٌ، سَبْعَةٌ، سِتَّةٌ، خَمْسَةٌ، أَرْبَعَةٌ، ثَلَاثَةٌ، اِثْنَانِ، وَاحِدٌ، صِفْرٌ.
بِلَالٌ: إِذَنْ، الرَّقْمُ الْأَوَّلُ تِسْعَةٌ، وَالْأَخِيرُ صِفْرٌ.
حَسَنٌ: نَعَمْ، هٰذَا صَحِيحٌ.
بِلَالٌ: شُكْرًا! هَلْ نَقْرَأُ الرَّقْمَيْنِ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى؟
