فِرَاؤُهَا أَبْيَضُ نَاعِمٌ، وَعَيْنَاهَا خَضْرَاوَانِ لَامِعَتَانِ.
Her fur is soft and white, and her eyes are bright green.
فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ، تَجْرِي لُولُو خَلْفَ كُرَتِهَا الْحَمْرَاءِ فِي غُرْفَتِي.
Every morning, Lulu runs after her red ball in my room.
ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، دَخَلَتِ الْكُرَةُ تَحْتَ الْخِزَانَةِ، فَجَلَسَتْ لُولُو تَنْظُرُ إِلَيَّ.
One day, the ball rolled under the wardrobe, so Lulu sat looking at me.
أَحْضَرْتُ عَصًا طَوِيلَةً، وَأَخْرَجْتُ الْكُرَةَ بِرِفْقٍ.
I brought a long stick and gently took the ball out.
قَفَزَتْ لُولُو مِنَ الْفَرَحِ، وَعَادَتْ تَلْعَبُ بِهَا.
Lulu jumped for joy and went back to playing with it.
فِي الْمَسَاءِ، تَنَاوَلَتْ قَلِيلًا مِنَ السَّمَكِ، ثُمَّ نَامَتْ عَلَى سَرِيرِي.
In the evening, she ate a little fish, then slept on my bed.
مَسَحْتُ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا وَقُلْتُ: «أَنْتِ صَدِيقَتِي الصَّغِيرَةُ يَا لُولُو!»
I stroked her head and said, “You are my little friend, Lulu!”
