Chapter One: The Legend
كانَ جابِرٌ نَحَّالاً فِي جَبَلِ شَمْسٍ. سَمِعَ مِنْ أَجْدادِهِ عَنْ نَحْلَةٍ ذَهَبِيَّةِ اللَّوْنِ، عَسَلُها يَشْفِي أَيَّ مَرَضٍ.
Jabir was a beekeeper on Jebel Shams. He heard from his ancestors about a golden-colored bee whose honey heals any illness.
ضَحِكَ وَقالَ: «هَذِهِ خُرافاتٌ!» لَكِنَّهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ كانَ يَتَمَنَّى أَنْ يَجِدَها.
He laughed and said: "These are myths!" But in his heart, he wished to find it.

Chapter Two: The Wondrous Discovery
ذاتَ يَوْمٍ، رَأَى جابِرٌ نَحْلَةً غَرِيبَةً تَلْمَعُ كَالذَّهَبِ. تَبِعَها عَبْرَ صُخُورٍ وَكُهُوفٍ، حَتَّى وَصَلَ إِلى مَكانٍ سِرِّيٍّ.
One day, Jabir saw a strange bee shining like gold. He followed it through rocks and caves, until he reached a secret place.
هُناكَ وَجَدَ خَلِيَّةً صَغِيرَةً، عَسَلُها ذَهَبِيُّ اللَّوْنِ وَرائِحَتُهُ كَالجَنَّةِ!
There he found a small hive, its honey golden in color and smelling like paradise!
أَخَذَ قَلِيلاً وَتَذَوَّقَهُ. شَعَرَ بِقُوَّةٍ وَصِحَّةٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفْها مِنْ قَبْلُ.
He took a little and tasted it. He felt strength and health he had never known before.

Chapter Three: Greed and Wisdom
أَرادَ جابِرٌ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ كُلَّ العَسَلِ. لَكِنَّهُ سَمِعَ صَوْتًا يَقُولُ: «خُذْ ما يَكْفِيكَ فَقَطْ. الطَّمَعُ يَقْتُلُ البَرَكَةَ.»
Jabir wanted to take all the honey. But he heard a voice saying: "Take only what suffices you. Greed kills blessing."
فَهِمَ جابِرٌ. أَخَذَ كِفايَتَهُ فَقَطْ، وَتَرَكَ البَقِيَّةَ لِلنَّحْلِ.
Jabir understood. He took only his need and left the rest for the bees.
عادَ إِلى قَرْيَتِهِ وَعالَجَ المَرْضَى بِالعَسَلِ الذَّهَبِيِّ. وَكُلَّ عامٍ، كانَ يَعُودُ إِلى الخَلِيَّةِ السِّرِّيَّةِ، يَأْخُذُ بِقَدَرٍ وَيَتْرُكُ بِكَرَمٍ.
He returned to his village and treated the sick with the golden honey. Every year, he would return to the secret hive, taking moderately and leaving generously.
