The neighbor asked about this small pot.

The neighbor accepted from the 'stupid' Juha this little 'daughter'
بكل
فرح
وسرور
،
with all joy and happiness,
وفي
قلبه

and in his heart, he mocked Juha,
إنه

.
thinking he was a foolish idiot.
بعد

After a few days, Juha came to his neighbor
يطلب
منه

The neighbor was happy and said in his heart:

and who knows, maybe this time it will give birth to twins?
وهيك

.
And so, the neighbor handed his pot to Juha.
مرقت

وجحا
ما رجّعش
الطنجرة
.
Several days passed, and Juha didn't return the pot.
عشان هيك
،
راح
الجار
لعند
جحا
Because of that, the neighbor went to Juha
وطلب
منه
يرجعها
.
and asked him to return it.
بس
جحا
قاله
إنه
الطنجرة
ماتت
.
But Juha told him that the pot had died.
الجار
تعصبن كتير
وقال
:
The neighbor got very angry and said:
كيف
بتسمح
لنفسك
تتخوّت
علي
؟
How do you allow yourself to mock me?
شو
؟
الطنجرة
كاينة
كائن حي
؟
What? Is the pot a living being?
بتعيش
وبتموت
؟
That lives and dies?
جحا
رد
ّ
عليه
وقال
:
Juha replied to him and said:
لا سمح الله
،
أتخوّت
على
شخص
مثلك
.
God forbid I would mock a person like you.
بس
إذا
ممكن
الطنجرة
تولد
،
But if it's possible for the pot to give birth,
معناه
ممكن
إنها
تموت
.
it means it's possible for it to die.
