 he said how stupid! i have heard that you lost a piece of watermelon and you persisted in asking about it and you were told that a cat had eaten it so you threw the rest of the piece in front of the cat to test their truthfulness or their lies. when it did not eat it you fined them the price of the watermelon as it was. they said to you it was nighttime and if it was not one of the neighbors cats that ate it and it was our cat then you threw it the piece when it was full. so give us time and do not fine us so that we may test it in a situation other than this. but you refused and did not do anything except fine them.
قال كم أجمجم؛ بلغني أنك فقدت قطعة بطيخ، فألححت في المسألة عنها، فقيل لك أكلها السنور، فرميت بباقي القطعة قدام السنور، لتمتحن صدقهم من كذبهم، فلما لم يأكله، غرمتهم ثمن البطيخة كما هي. قالوا لك كان الليل، فإن لا تكن التي أكلته من سنانير الجيران، وكان الذي أكله سنورنا هذا، فإنك رميت اليه بالقطعة وهو شبعان منه. فأنظرنا ٥ ولا تغرمنا نمتحنه في حال غير هذه. فأبيت إلا إغرامهم .
