كَيْفَ الطَّقْسُ الْيَوْمَ؟
يَاسِرٌ: صَبَاحُ الْخَيْرِ. كَيْفَ الطَّقْسُ الْيَوْمَ؟
مَرْوَانُ: صَبَاحُ النُّورِ. الطَّقْسُ مُشْمِسٌ.
يَاسِرٌ: هَلْ هُوَ حَارٌّ؟
مَرْوَانُ: لَا، هُوَ بَارِدٌ، وَالرِّيحُ خَفِيفَةٌ.
يَاسِرٌ: هَلْ هُنَاكَ مَطَرٌ الْآنَ؟
مَرْوَانُ: لَا، السَّمَاءُ صَافِيَةٌ.
يَاسِرٌ: أُرِيدُ الْخُرُوجَ إِلَى الْمَتْجَرِ.
مَرْوَانُ: هَلِ الْمَتْجَرُ قَرِيبٌ؟
يَاسِرٌ: نَعَمْ، هُوَ فِي هٰذَا الشَّارِعِ.
مَرْوَانُ: خُذْ مِعْطَفَكَ. الطَّقْسُ بَارِدٌ.
يَاسِرٌ: فِكْرَةٌ جَيِّدَةٌ. هَلْ أَحْتَاجُ إِلَى مِظَلَّةٍ؟
مَرْوَانُ: لَا، لَيْسَ هُنَاكَ مَطَرٌ الْآنَ.
يَاسِرٌ: شُكْرًا لَكَ. سَآخُذُ مِعْطَفِي.
مَرْوَانُ: إِلَى اللِّقَاءِ!
