An older gentleman was playing a round of golf. Suddenly his ball sliced and landed in a shallow pond. As he was attempting to retrieve the ball he discovered a frog that, to his great surprise, started to speak! "Kiss me, and I will change into a beautiful princess, and I will be yours for a week." He picked up the frog and placed it in his pocket.
As he continued to play golf, the frog repeated its message. "Kiss me, and I will change into a beautiful princess, and I will be yours for a whole month!" The man continued to play his golf game and once again the frog spoke out. "Kiss me, and I will change into a beautiful princess, and I will be yours for a whole year!" Finally, the old man turned to the frog and exclaimed, "At my age, I’d rather have a talking frog!"

پیرمردی، در حال بازی کردن گلف بود. ناگهان توپش به خارج از زمین و داخل برکهی کمآبی رفت. همانطور که در حال برای پیدا کردن مجدد توپ تلاش میکرد با نهایت تعجب متوجه شد که یک قورباغه شروع به حرف زدن کرد: مرا ببوس، و من به شاهزادهی زیبا تبدیل شوم، و برای یک هفته برای شما خواهم بود. او قورباغه را برداشت و در جیبش گذاشت.
همانطور که داشت به بازی گلف ادامه میداد، قورباغه همین پیغام را تکرار کرد «مرا ببوس، و من به شاهزادهی زیبا تبدیل شوم، و برای یک ماه برای شما خواهم بود». آن مرد همچنان به بازی گلفش ادامه داد و یک بار دیگر قورباغه گفت: مرا ببوس، و من به شاهزادهی زیبا تبدیل شوم، و برای یک سال برای شما خواهم بود. سرانجام، پیرمرد رو به قورباغه کرد و بانگ زد: با این سن، ترجیح میدم یه قورباغه سخنگو داشته باشم.

A man woke up early in order to pray the morning prayer in the mosque. He got dressed, made his ablution and was on his way to the mosque.
On his way to the mosque, the man fell and his clothes got dirty. He got up, brushed himself off, and headed home. At home, he changed his clothes, made his ablution, and was, again, on his way to the mosque.
