Building Bonds in Bloomdale

بناء السندات في بلومديل

In Bloomdale, there was a girl named Ellie who loved sunny days and playing in the park. في بلومديل، كانت هناك فتاة اسمها إيلي تحب الأيام المشمسة واللعب في الحديقة.

Introducing Ellie, a girl who enjoys sunny days at the park.

She saw a boy sitting alone, looking at the flowers. His name was Sam, and he seemed shy. رأت صبيًا يجلس بمفرده وينظر إلى الزهور. كان اسمه سام، وبدا خجولاً.

Introduces Sam, a shy boy, at the park alone.

Ellie walked over with a smile. 'Hello! Those flowers are pretty, aren't they?' she asked. مشى إيلي بابتسامة. 'مرحبًا! تلك الزهور جميلة، أليس كذلك؟ هي سألت.

Ellie approaches Sam with a friendly greeting about the flowers.

Sam looked up, surprised. He nodded. 'Yeah, I like the purple ones best,' he replied. نظر سام للأعلى، متفاجئًا. أومأ. فأجاب: "نعم، أنا أحب اللون الأرجواني أكثر".

Sam responds to Ellie; they start a conversation about flowers.

Ellie sat beside him. 'I like purple too! Do you come here often?' she inquired curiously. جلست إيلي بجانبه. 'أنا أحب اللون الأرجواني أيضًا! هل تأتي هنا عادة؟' سألت بفضول.

Ellie and Sam discuss their common interests.

They talked about the park, their favorite games, and which flowers smelled the nicest. تحدثوا عن الحديقة وألعابهم المفضلة وأي الزهور لها رائحة أجمل.

Ellie and Sam chat about the park and their interests.

Ellie had an idea. 'Want to play on the swings? I bet we could go really high!' كان لدى إيلي فكرة. 'هل تريد اللعب على المراجيح؟ أراهن أننا يمكن أن نرتفع حقًا!

Ellie invites Sam to play on the swings together.

Sam smiled for the first time. 'Okay!' he said, and they ran to the swing set together. ابتسم سام لأول مرة. 'تمام!' قال، وركضوا معًا إلى الأرجوحة.

Sam agrees to play with Ellie; they bond over play.

As they swung higher and higher, they laughed and felt like they could touch the sky. وبينما كانوا يتأرجحون أعلى وأعلى، ضحكوا وشعروا وكأنهم يستطيعون لمس السماء.

Ellie and Sam enjoy the swings and laugh together.

Afterwards, they sat on a bench, sipping their juice boxes and sharing stories. بعد ذلك، جلسوا على أحد المقاعد، يحتسون علب العصير ويتبادلون القصص.

Ellie and Sam share snacks and stories on a bench.

'You're really fun to hang out with,' said Sam. 'We should play here more often!' قال سام: «إن قضاء الوقت معك ممتع حقًا». "يجب أن نلعب هنا في كثير من الأحيان!"

Sam expresses enjoyment of their new companionship.

Ellie grinned. 'Yes, let's meet here tomorrow again! It's a playdate!' she exclaimed excitedly. ابتسم إيلي. "نعم، دعونا نجتمع هنا غدا مرة أخرى!" إنه موعد اللعب! صرخت بحماس.

Ellie is happy and they make plans to meet again.
